Lyfe Hotels has expanded its dining portfolio in Bhubaneswar with the launch of HI-Lyfe, a rooftop restaurant and bar that blends scenic views, global flavours, and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. Marking the brand’s third dining destination in the city, the new space is designed for easy evenings that move from calm sunsets to energetic nights.

Set against wide views of the city skyline, HI-Lyfe introduces one of Bhubaneswar’s early Mediterranean-inspired dining experiences. The menu brings together flavours from Italy, Morocco, Turkey, Lebanon, and Spain, focusing on grilled dishes, fresh ingredients, and shareable plates that encourage a social dining style.

The food spread features a mix of well-loved Mediterranean dishes such as charred harissa prawns, Turkish lamb koftas, Lebanese mezze platters, wood-fired flatbreads, and Spanish-style patatas bravas. Alongside these are lighter small plates that add variety and keep the experience interactive at the table.

The bar menu is equally engaging, with cocktails inspired by Mediterranean regions and cultures. Signature drinks include Medina Flame, a blend of pomegranate, cinnamon and whiskey; Zagora Orchard with apricot and dark rum; and Nomad’s Trail, a spiced bourbon-forward mix. For lighter options, Riad Reverie combines floral notes of rose and lavender, while Aegean Breeze offers a refreshing citrus touch suited for early evenings.

The space is designed to shift smoothly from relaxed to lively, with ambient lighting, curated music, and an open-air layout that creates both comfort and energy. It works well for casual catch-ups as well as larger social gatherings, adapting to different moods through the evening.

Speaking about the launch, Sonal Sahoo, Co-founder, Lyfe Hotels, said, “HI-Lyfe comes at a time when dining is becoming more thoughtful, with a growing curiosity for global flavours and a stronger focus on shared experiences. We wanted to create a space that feels vibrant yet easy where the food, the mood, and the setting come together naturally. From slow sunsets to more energetic evenings, HI-Lyfe is designed to never feel static.”

HI-Lyfe opens in April 2026, bringing together bold flavours, crafted drinks, and a welcoming setting, positioning itself as a new go-to spot in Bhubaneswar for dining and social experiences.
