Mumbai’s beloved culinary haven, Lovefools, is back with yet another delightful twist — introducing Lunchish, a creative daytime dining experience that bends the rules of traditional mealtimes. Nestled in a charming Bandra lane, Lovefools invites diners to explore this flavourful new journey that’s not quite brunch, not quite lunch — and never boring.
Between that first sip of coffee and your evening cocktail, Lunchish offers a comforting yet adventurous pause — a mid-day moodboard of flavors blending nostalgia, wanderlust, and a generous dose of culinary rebellion.
Chef Sarita Pereira explains the inspiration behind the idea:
“We wanted to break this whole box format of breakfast, lunch & brunch. The Lunchish menu isn’t bound by time — it tastes just as satisfying at 11 AM as it does at 4 PM.”
Each dish on the Lunchish menu tells a unique story of global influence and emotional warmth:
The Jay Fai Bucket List: A gluten-free crab fried omelette meets Kerala moilee curry — bridging Bangkok’s street food with India’s coastal flavors.
Sawadee Mango Toast: Fresh mango slices, Thai chili-lime papaya salad, and peanut dressing create a tangy twist on the usual toast.
Mexican Khichu: Gujarat’s classic comfort dish gets a makeover with jalapeños, raw mango salsa, and crunchy paprika cornflakes.
Panji to Pattaya: Thai fermented noodles paired with Goan prawn or fish curry, coconut milk, mangoes, and tropical fruits — a true East-meets-West fusion.
Katsu 'Curry' Benedict: Crispy katsu chicken on brioche, topped with a poached egg, Japanese curry hollandaise, and crispy spinach — a Tokyo-inspired take on brunch.
From global mashups to nostalgic flavors, each plate is a playful expression of Lovefools’ ethos — slow, honest cooking filled with creativity, comfort, and emotion.
Lunchish is for the late risers, the dreamers, and the flavor chasers, served from 11 AM to 4 PM, Tuesday to Friday. No reservations needed — just follow your appetite.
Where: C14, 525, Ranwar, Bandra West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400050 When: Tuesday to Friday, 11 AM – 4 PM (Closed on Mondays)

Scuzo Ice 'O' Magic, India’s fastest-growing live-popsicle and gelato brand, has officially launched its second outlet in Patna and 64th outlet across the country. The new store is located at Nasib Market, Ramnagri More, Ashiyana, bringing a fresh wave of interactive dessert experiences to Bihar’s capital.
Scuzo stands out for its live popsicle-making concept, where customers can create their own popsicles using real fruits, frozen live on the spot using a unique freezing technique. It’s not just a dessert—it’s an experience designed to be fresh, fun, and fully personalized.
Beyond popsicles, the outlet offers a diverse dessert menu featuring handcrafted gelatos, crispy waffle cones, sundaes, and thick milkshakes. All items are made with 100% real fruit and premium ingredients, completely free of artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives.
Gagan Anand, Founder of Scuzo Ice 'O' Magic, shared his excitement:
"Opening another store in Patna is a milestone for us. Our vision has always been to revolutionize the dessert industry in India—from the conventional, sugar-drenched to something enjoyable, healthier, and interactive. This store is proof of that vision being fulfilled in yet another energetic city."
Franchisee Partner Mohsin Raza Khan added,
"We are excited to bring Scuzo to the heart of Bihar. It's not just about desserts—it's about spreading delight. From the freshness of our ingredients to the excitement of live freezing, every aspect of the experience is crafted to impress our customers."
Located in a bustling and youth-friendly zone, the new outlet is well-placed to attract families, students, and tourists alike. With its unique combination of health, flavour, and visual appeal, the store promises to be a go-to spot for dessert lovers looking for something different.
As Scuzo Ice 'O' Magic continues its rapid growth across India, this launch in Patna reaffirms its commitment to offering innovative, handcrafted desserts with a healthy twist—making dessert guilt-free and fun at the same time.
Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala is rewriting the rules of hilltop indulgence with the launch of Marquee — the first-ever sky bar in Lonavala, designed to elevate lifestyle experiences to a whole new level. Set against the stunning Sahyadri hills, Marquee offers more than just views — it’s a curated journey where nature meets luxury, and every moment feels cinematic.
Thoughtfully segmented into three distinctive zones — The Rock Bar, Eclectic Dining, and the serene Sunset Garden — the venue is an open-air escape where elegance and elemental beauty blend effortlessly. Whether it's a sunset toast at Vantage Point, a whimsical Champagne Boat on Wheels, or a stargazing session beneath the velvet sky, Marquee is packed with signature experiences designed to inspire wonder.
At its heart is a 25-feet sculptural rock bar, a bold centrepiece that anchors the space with character. Guests can witness culinary theatrics at the live chef’s table, enjoy globally inspired menus featuring Pan-Asian small plates, Mediterranean favourites, wood-fired pizzas, and artisanal pastas, or unwind to live entertainment ranging from soul-soothing bands to captivating illusionists.
“With Marquee, we’re unveiling a fresh take on leisure and lifestyle in Lonavala,” said Faisal Nafees, General Manager, Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala. “Whether it’s golden hour cocktails or starlit celebrations, Marquee blends immersive experiences, sweeping views, and an atmosphere that’s both stylish and laid-back.”
The venue also transforms into an artful space by night, with rotating showcases, culinary pop-ups from celebrated chefs, and performances by illusionists and mentalists, creating what the team calls “a celestial gallery under the stars.”
Backed by the vision of Abhishek, Karan, and Parth — the young and dynamic directors of Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala — Marquee is just the beginning. Plans are already in motion to bring this elevated concept to Mumbai and explore beachfront expansions in Goa, taking the experience to other iconic locations.
“Marquee sets the stage for a new kind of escape, where every evening is a story waiting to unfold,” Faisal added.
With this launch, Radisson Lonavala reaffirms its place at the forefront of luxury hospitality, crafting moments that go beyond conventional hospitality to celebrate human connection, expression, and escape.

CCL Products (India) Ltd., a leading coffee manufacturer, has announced the India launch of Percol, the iconic premium coffee brand from the UK. Acquired by CCL in 2023, Percol is now being introduced to Indian shelves with three freeze-dried instant coffee variants — Intenzo, Da Essenza, and Espresso Noir — each crafted for discerning coffee lovers.
Percol has a strong legacy dating back to 1987, when it was founded by Brian Chapman and became the first UK coffee brand to earn Fairtrade certification. Built on the pillars of quality, ethical sourcing, and sustainability, Percol has been a top choice among conscious consumers in the UK for over three decades. With this launch, CCL aims to bring that same heritage and experience to India’s evolving coffee market.Commenting on the launch, Praveen Jaipuriar, CEO, CCL Products (India) Ltd., said: "The Indian coffee landscape is evolving rapidly, with consumers increasingly seeking sophisticated flavours and meaningful brand experiences. Percol represents not just premium coffee, but a philosophy that resonates with today's nuanced consumer, who is particular about the sophistication, depth and the value of the products they consume.”
The new variants - Intenzo, Da Essenza, and Espresso Noir, feature beans sourced from top global coffee regions including Colombia and Vietnam. Each 100g jar is designed to deliver a unique flavour profile, perfect for those who appreciate the finer notes of premium coffee.
In line with Percol’s sustainability-first approach, the products come in plastic-free, reusable glass jars, topped with metal lids, and packaged in premium matte-finish boxes featuring embossed design, spot-UV effects, and Percol’s signature vignette logo.
Percol is now available across leading e-commerce platforms and select retail outlets in Tier-1 cities of North and West India, marking a key step in CCL’s goal to premiumise the Indian at-home coffee experience while introducing global coffee culture to Indian consumers.
