Roseate House, New Delhi, has partnered with Coração Do Vale and the Cyprus High Commission to present ‘Cyprus On A Plate by Coração Do Vale’, a week-long culinary showcase celebrating the flavours, traditions and heritage of Cyprus. The festival, running from June 11 to 17, 2026, offers guests an opportunity to experience authentic Mediterranean cuisine crafted using premium Portuguese extra virgin olive oil.

The culinary celebration commenced on June 11 with an exclusive dinner attended by food enthusiasts, diplomats and hospitality professionals. Present at the launch were H.E. Mr. Evagoras Vryonides, High Commissioner of the Republic of Cyprus, and Raksha Kotian, Business Head, Leads Brand Connect for Coração Do Vale.

Curated by Chef Gagandeep alongside Chef Eleni Michael, a Cypriot chef, culinary consultant and food anthropologist, the menu was designed to showcase the diversity and depth of Cyprus’s culinary traditions. Through a carefully structured multi-course dining experience, guests were introduced to the island nation’s rich food culture and time-honoured recipes.

The experience began with an assortment of traditional cold and warm mezze, including Tsakistes, Tashi, Melitzanosalata, Village Salad and Louvi Hummus. The warm selection featured iconic Cypriot favourites such as Halloumi, Sheftalia and freshly prepared Cypriot Pita.

Among the standout dishes were Patzarosalata, a beetroot and potato salad infused with coriander chutney, and Ravioles, handmade Cypriot pasta filled with halloumi cheese and spearmint. The main course highlighted Tavas Lefkarítikos, a slow-braised lamb preparation cooked with rice, potatoes, tomatoes and aromatic spices, alongside Gemista, roasted vegetables stuffed with rice, herbs and mint, finished with feta and served with herbed potatoes.

Desserts offered a sweet conclusion to the culinary journey, featuring Anarokrema, a whipped ricotta cream layered with cinnamon, filo pastry, honey and walnuts. Guests also enjoyed traditional petit fours including Soutzioukkos, Loukoumi and Daktyla, paired with Cyprus Coffee and fresh mint tea.

Speaking about the initiative, Raksha Kotian, Business Head, Leads Brand Connect for Coração Do Vale, said, “We are delighted to see Coração Do Vale enhancing the experience of Cyprus on a Plate. It was more than a dinner; it was a cultural bridge elevated by Coração Do Vale. Every dish reflected centuries of Cypriot culture and offered guests an immersive Mediterranean experience in the heart of Delhi.”

The event also marks the launch of ‘World On A Plate by Coração Do Vale’, a new culinary series designed to celebrate the food cultures of different countries through specially curated gastronomic experiences. The initiative will spotlight international cuisines while showcasing the role of premium ingredients, with Coração Do Vale Extra Virgin Olive Oil serving as a central element across future editions.

Through ‘Cyprus On A Plate’, Roseate House and Coração Do Vale aim to bring global culinary traditions closer to Indian audiences, creating memorable dining experiences rooted in authenticity, culture and craftsmanship.
