Neuma, a modern European restaurant in Mumbai, is hosting a special two-day pop-up event, titled “What’s Poppin with Chef Mohib Farooqui.” Scheduled for September 20th and 21st, this event promises to present an exciting twist on Levantine cuisine, with a creative flair that moves beyond the traditional hummus and kebabs.
Guests will experience bold flavors that blend Levantine culinary traditions from regions like Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan with global cooking techniques.
Chef Mohib Farooqui, who will helm the pop-up, brings over 12 years of international experience. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Sydney, Chef Mohib has worked alongside Michelin-starred chefs and led kitchens in countries such as Australia, Denmark, and India. His previous work includes stints at prominent restaurants like Urbane and Restaurant Relae, as well as crafting a Michelin-starred menu for Inddee in Bangkok. With this pop-up, Chef Mohib aims to introduce Mumbai’s diners to a fresh interpretation of Levantine dishes, merging history and innovation on every plate.
The event, organized in collaboration with the Zomato Dining Experience, will take guests on a culinary journey across the Levant while incorporating unexpected elements. The menu reflects Chef Mohib’s ability to play with classic flavors in unique ways. Guests can expect dishes such as cucumber paired with liquid vegetables, pumpkin infused with habanero, and Australian lamb enhanced with traditional Levantine baharat spices.
Vegetarians are also in for a treat, with options like soybeans served with sesame and pomegranate, and a vibrant bell pepper and feta salad. To round off the meal, a dessert of Medjool dates and key lime is set to provide a sweet finish.
“This pop-up is my way of sharing the soul of Levantine cuisine with Mumbai’s vibrant food scene,” says Chef Mohib Farooqui. “Each dish tells a story—of history, culture, and flavor—and I can’t wait for guests to experience our innovation through every bite.”
Neuma, located in a beautifully restored colonial-era bungalow in Colaba, is co-founded by filmmaker Karan Johar, Bunty Sajdeh, and True Palate Café Pvt. Ltd. The restaurant has become a landmark in South Mumbai, offering a blend of stylish yet relaxed fine dining. With Chef Mohib’s Levantine pop-up, Neuma continues to push boundaries in the city’s culinary scene.

This Father’s Day, Serious Slice is rewriting the rules of the family table with a simple idea “The First Slice is His.” The Bengaluru-based pizza destination is turning Father’s Day 2026 into a warm, relaxed, and slightly playful celebration that places dads right at the centre of the dining experience.
Across its Cunningham Road and RR Nagar outlets, the restaurant is moving away from formal set menus and instead focusing on comfort, familiarity, and a sense of easy celebration. The idea is straightforward: give fathers a day where they are not just present at the table, but properly celebrated.
From the moment guests arrive, the experience is designed to feel personal. Tables will feature “Reserved for Dad” placards, along with handwritten-style notes that add a simple, human touch to the celebration. Live acoustic music from local artists sets a relaxed mood, making the space feel more like a neighbourhood gathering than a curated event.
The highlight of the celebration is the “First Slice” House Rule. As part of this playful initiative, the first pizza slice loaded generously with toppings is served directly to the father at the table before anyone else. It’s a small but symbolic gesture that flips the usual dining hierarchy and ensures dads get the first bite of the meal they usually help organise.
The menu itself stays true to Serious Slice’s signature approach, fresh, indulgent, and unpretentious. Guests can expect a casual dining experience built around sharing, laughter, and comfort food that brings families together without overcomplication.
With its mix of humour, warmth, and thoughtful detail, Serious Slice’s Father’s Day celebration focuses less on extravagance and more on appreciation. It’s a reminder that sometimes the simplest gestures, a slice served first, a note of thanks, or a shared laugh can make the biggest impact.

This Father’s Day, ITC Limited’s Sunfeast Baked Creations is celebrating fathers with an emotional campaign titled ‘A Briefcase of Love’, highlighting the often-unspoken ways in which fathers express their love through responsibility, dedication, and constant support.
At the heart of the campaign is the briefcase, a familiar object that symbolises much more than work. According to the brand, it represents the responsibilities, dreams, sacrifices, and unwavering commitment that fathers carry throughout their lives for the well-being of their families.
Bringing this concept to life is the Father’s Day Couverture Chocolate Briefcase Cake, a handcrafted creation designed in the shape of a chocolate briefcase. The dessert features layers of rich chocolate sponge, caramel diplomat cream, and a crunchy texture, creating a meaningful tribute to fatherhood while offering an indulgent culinary experience.
The special Father’s Day collection also includes Dad’s Favourite Pistachio Chocolate Pastry, featuring chocolate sponge layered with pistachio mousse and finished with an edible moustache, along with the Belgian Chocolate Brownie (No Added Sugar), crafted for those seeking a more mindful dessert option without compromising on flavour.
Extending beyond its product offerings, the campaign is supported by a digital film and social media storytelling that explore the emotional significance of a father’s briefcase, not merely as an accessory, but as a symbol of cherished memories, values, and countless acts of love that often go unnoticed.
With ‘A Briefcase of Love’, Sunfeast Baked Creations encourages people to look beyond everyday objects and recognise the quiet sacrifices that define fatherhood. The Father’s Day collection is currently available across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad through leading food delivery platforms.
Father’s Day is more than just another date on the calendar, it is a chance to celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who have shaped our lives with guidance, support, and countless unforgettable memories.
