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.

THE Park New Delhi has introduced Tyde, a new all-day dining destination that blends contemporary design, culinary creativity, and cultural inspiration into a single immersive experience. Positioned in the heart of Connaught Place, the restaurant is designed to evolve seamlessly through the day, offering distinct moods and dining experiences from morning to late night.
From vibrant breakfasts and business lunches to relaxed afternoon conversations, cocktail-led evenings, intimate dinners, and after-dark gatherings, Tyde has been conceptualised as a fluid space that adapts to the rhythm of its guests. The menu reflects this versatility, featuring artisanal coffee, wood-fired pizzas, Asian-inspired dishes, small plates, and a refined à la carte selection suited for both casual dining and special occasions.
The interiors draw inspiration from the geometric precision of Jantar Mantar and India’s deep cultural connection with water as a symbol of movement and transformation. Sculptural design elements, layered textures, deep indigo tones, and warm brass finishes come together to create an atmosphere that is both expressive and sophisticated.
A key highlight of the space is the installation titled “Dar Badar,” a sculptural brass artwork that introduces movement and visual rhythm into the restaurant’s design language. Complementing this are textile artworks inspired by oceanic textures, incorporating embroidery, zari, beads, mirrors, and metallic detailing to reinforce the theme of fluidity and depth.
Speaking on the launch, Priya Paul, Chairperson, highlighted that the restaurant reflects the group’s philosophy of creating spaces where art, design, music, culture, and cuisine converge to deliver distinctive hospitality experiences. She emphasised that Tyde continues the brand’s vision of offering experiences that go beyond traditional dining.
Parag Sahwney, General Manager of THE Park New Delhi, added that "Tyde is designed as a dynamic gathering space for both discerning diners and global travellers, with a strong focus on curated menus and thoughtful execution across every detail of the experience."
With Tyde, THE Park New Delhi strengthens its position as a pioneer in boutique hospitality, bringing together design-led storytelling and modern culinary expression in a vibrant urban setting.

Sri Narasu’s Coffee Company Pvt. Ltd. is accelerating its expansion plans across South India, strengthening its retail and distribution presence in Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh after building a strong foothold in Tamil Nadu.
The century-old coffee brand has opened its first store in Bengaluru and is preparing to launch another outlet in Amaravati within the next two to three months. The move marks the beginning of a larger strategic expansion aimed at growing the company’s footprint across key coffee-consuming markets in southern India.
Currently, the company operates 78 company-owned stores and offers more than 180 SKUs across coffee, tea, and FMCG categories. Its stores feature a range of products including premium coffee blends, instant coffee, and freeze-dried variants.
As part of the expansion strategy, Narasu’s Coffee is also strengthening its distribution network, with plans to increase its distributor base from 42 to 150 by the end of the current fiscal year.
The company believes the southern market presents strong growth opportunities due to increasing coffee consumption trends across Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. Salem’s strategic location is also expected to support efficient supply chain and distribution operations across these neighbouring states.
P Sivanantham said the company’s long-standing growth has been built on values such as quality, reliability, and consumer trust. He added that while the company continues to expand, maintaining consistent standards and delivering value to consumers remain central to the brand’s identity.
Meanwhile, Srudheep S highlighted that the company sees significant potential in the southern Indian coffee market and aims to bring authentic South Indian coffee experiences to modern households across India.
According to the company, its expansion roadmap over the next three years includes strengthening retail visibility and supply chain operations across the country. The Bengaluru and Amaravati stores are expected to play an important role in driving this larger growth strategy.
Narasu’s Coffee also sees its instant coffee range as a major growth driver. Its portfolio includes products such as Pure Instant Coffee, Master’s Extra Strong, Insta Strong Coffee, and freeze-dried coffee variants catering to different consumer segments and price points.
The company added that its focus on maintaining blend consistency, operational efficiency, and quick product dispatch systems has helped strengthen consumer trust over the decades.
