Reinforcing its focus on refined Indian dining, The Leela Gandhinagar hosted a closed-door culinary evening to present a newly reimagined menu at its signature restaurant, Diya. The invite-only gathering welcomed select guests and food connoisseurs for a curated showcase centred on heritage flavours and elegant presentation.
The refreshed menu draws inspiration from the legacy of North Frontier cuisine, known for its bold spices, slow-cooking methods and time-honoured recipes. At Diya, these traditional elements have been retained while being refined with contemporary techniques and thoughtful plating. Seasonal produce and regional influences play a key role, with each dish crafted to reflect authenticity, depth and culinary precision.
Chef Ishtiyake, along with his seasoned kitchen team, leads this new direction. Drawing from experience across reputed five-star establishments, the team has shaped a menu that respects classical foundations while adapting to modern palates. During the evening, guests were introduced to the philosophy and inspiration behind the courses, making the experience interactive and immersive.
Commenting on the launch, Vikas Sood, General Manager, stated that the initiative underlines the hotel’s continued commitment to delivering elevated Indian cuisine paired with warm, intuitive hospitality.
With this unveiling, Diya enters a new phase, further positioning The Leela Gandhinagar as a distinguished fine-dining address in Gujarat.
