Shao, the Pan-Asian restaurant at Radisson Blu Bengaluru Outer Ring Road, has unveiled a new à la carte menu by Chef Sitam Lama, marking the first full expression of the chef's culinary vision at the restaurant.
The new menu brings together flavours and culinary traditions from regional Chinese, Southeast Asian and Balinese cuisines, offering guests an expansive Pan-Asian dining experience within a single menu.
The selection begins with a range of vegetarian creations, including Crispy Spicy Tofu, tossed with chestnut, peanut and dried chilli, and Crunchy Assorted Mushroom, wok-tossed with five-spice, chilli, garlic and spring onion. The sushi selection also features vegetarian options such as Avocado Nigiri and Sweet Shiitake Nigiri.
The menu extends into comforting and aromatic preparations, including Chongqing Chicken Soup, a slow-cooked broth featuring Sichuan peppercorns, dried chillies and goji berries. The Balinese Chicken Satay combines hand-minced chicken with chargrilling and a lemongrass dip.
For diners seeking bolder flavours, the Sizzling Cumin Lamb combines toasted cumin with the heat of Sichuan peppercorns, while the Smoked Spicy Pork Belly with Bamboo Shoots is wok-tossed with the kitchen's own fermented chillies and garlic.
The Shanghai Chicken Dumpling, finished with truffle oil, provides a lighter option, while the Hunan Steamed Seabass, topped with pickled mustard and chilli, brings the savoury selection to a bold and tangy finish.
Across the menu, Chef Sitam Lama's approach focuses on premium ingredients, refined techniques and authentic regional flavours, while presenting familiar Asian culinary traditions through a contemporary restaurant setting.
The new menu debuted on 25 August 2026, giving guests an opportunity to experience Chef Lama's signature creations as Shao continues its culinary evolution.

Tacos Atarantados has introduced Cerveza Atarantados, its first signature beer in the United States, in collaboration with Miami-based Magic 13 Brewing Co. The Mexican-style light lager is now available exclusively at the restaurant's Wynwood and Brickell locations.
Created specifically to complement the restaurant's food menu, the 4.5% ABV lager features a crisp and refreshing profile designed to pair with Tacos Atarantados' signature tacos, trompo meats, and house-made salsas.
The collaboration brings together two Miami hospitality brands, combining Tacos Atarantados' Northern Mexican culinary traditions with Magic 13's local craft brewing expertise. The resulting beer has been created exclusively for the restaurant and is intended to become its signature pour.
Speaking about the launch, Jorge Guadiana, Corporate Chef and Co-Owner, Tacos Atarantados, said, "Hospitality has always been about creating experiences that feel authentic to who we are. We wanted a beer that naturally belonged on every table alongside our food. Partnering with Magic 13 allowed us to create something that reflects both our Monterrey roots and the incredible craft brewing community here in Miami."
Cerveza Atarantados has been developed to pair naturally with dishes such as tacos al pastor, grilled meats, and the restaurant's range of house-made salsas, while also being suited to enjoy on its own.
The signature beer is currently available for $8 at Tacos Atarantados' Wynwood and Brickell locations.
The launch adds another dimension to Tacos Atarantados' dining experience, further connecting its Northern Mexican culinary identity with Miami's growing food and craft beverage culture.
Founded in Monterrey, Mexico, Tacos Atarantados is a chef-driven taquería concept known for Northern Mexican street flavours, signature trompo preparations, vibrant interiors, and a high-energy dining atmosphere. Led by Chef Jorge Guadiana, the brand has expanded to more than 16 locations across Mexico and the United States, combining traditional Mexican flavours with a contemporary hospitality approach.
