Hyatt Centric Juhu Mumbai is bringing the soul of Japan’s cherry blossom season to life with Sakura Matsuri 2025, an exclusive spring festival hosted at Sesame, the hotel’s celebrated Pan-Asian and Japanese restaurant. Running from April 11th to 25th, this immersive two-week event transforms Juhu into a vibrant slice of Tokyo’s Hanami streets—complete with authentic dishes, floral cocktails, and hands-on cultural experiences.
The menu at Sakura Matsuri is a celebration of Japanese street eats, seasonal specialties, and modern interpretations of time-honored classics. Highlights include the iconic Okonomiyaki—a savory pancake slathered with tangy okonomiyaki sauce, and Takoyaki, golden-crisp octopus balls topped with dancing bonito flakes. Fish Karage offers a crunchy bite with a twist of umeboshi dip, while Robata skewers—especially the Tebasaki wings and Nappa Dengaku—bring out the bold, smoky charm of traditional grill fare.
For mains, the rich Katsu Curry and sizzling Shogayaki pork glazed in soy and ginger are comfort on a plate, while the Yuzu Miso Cod balances sweet and citrusy notes to perfection. Sushi lovers can indulge in playful New Age Gunkan and vibrant Rainbow Maki. A 7-course tasting menu priced at INR 2000++ ties it all together with curated finesse.
Desserts offer a stunning close: from Matcha Raspberry Mousse with zesty lemon marmalade and luscious raspberry compote, to the indulgent Hazelnut Chocolate Chantilly and playful Suki waffle cones filled with berry ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate.
On the drinks front, the Tokyo Rose steals the spotlight—a sparkling blend of cherry gin, maraschino liqueur, and yuzu. The Matcha Sour, Mount Fuji Fizz, and the Oishi Cocktails (Matcha and Bonsai Bloom) are equally expressive, capturing the fleeting joy of spring in every sip.
Beyond the plate, guests are invited to explore three curated experiences that celebrate Japanese heritage:
Matcha Making Ceremony, where experts guide you through the meditative art of preparing matcha
Canvas Painting, with cherry blossom-inspired designs
Origami Workshops, transforming paper into delicate works of art
With its blend of traditional flavors, cultural immersion, and springtime elegance, Sakura Matsuri at Hyatt Centric Juhu isn’t just a festival—it’s an invitation to experience the poetic charm of Japan right here in Mumbai.

SOCIAL, India’s favorite neighborhood café-bar, is back with its much-awaited Oktobeerfest 2025, running from 6th to 19th October. This year’s edition promises bigger buckets, bolder bites, and playful new experiences designed to bring people together over food, beer, and festive cheer.
Beer takes the spotlight with bucket deals offering up to 20% savings on 3, 6, and 9 pints, perfect for sharing with friends. Making a comeback is SOCIAL’s popular Sausage Platter, the perfect companion to chilled brews. Guests can also indulge in exclusive bucket-and-platter pairings crafted to spark camaraderie and turn group hangouts into memorable beer-filled feasts.
Adding a quirky SOCIAL twist, each table will feature Brew Bingo, a beer-inspired challenge card with fun prompts like “chugged a pint in one go,” “spilled beer on yourself and kept drinking,” or “paired beer with dessert.” Guests can tick off their challenges as they go, creating laughter-filled moments to remember.
All SOCIAL outlets nationwide will transform with buntings, quirky décor, and festive energy. True to SOCIAL’s spirit of being a second home for communities, the festival combines good beer, hearty food, and togetherness.
Divya Aggarwal, Chief Growth Officer, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt Ltd, shared, “Oktobeerfest at SOCIAL has become a custom our communities look forward to every year. It’s our way of raising a toast to togetherness with buckets to share, a hearty platter to dig into, and playful experiences that bring people closer. Every year, we add a new SOCIAL twist to the global Oktobeerfest tradition, making it uniquely ours and something our guests can truly call their own.”
With bigger buckets, flavorful pairings, and engaging activities, Oktobeerfest 2025 is set to turn October into a month-long celebration of flavor, fun, and friendship, reaffirming SOCIAL’s place as the go-to neighborhood destination for unforgettable gatherings.

Known for its commitment to fresh, preservative-free, and plant-based cooking, the brand continues to champion mindful dining with dishes that balance taste, nutrition, and sustainability.
The new outlet, set in the backyard of a century-old home surrounded by greenery, features both indoor and outdoor seating for up to 120 guests. With cane, bamboo, copper, and recycled accents, the space reflects Santé’s eco-conscious philosophy while encouraging guests to relax and connect with nature.
Santé’s menu remains true to its wellness-driven ethos. Guests can choose from vegetarian, vegan, Jain, and gluten-free options including millet bowls packed with superfoods, Levantine-inspired protein-rich dishes, gluten-free multigrain pizzas, high-fibre casseroles, and indulgent yet healthy desserts made with jaggery, date sugar, and erythritol. Cold-pressed juices, detox beverages, and carefully paired wines and sangrias complement the food experience.
Founder Sonal Barmecha shared her vision at the launch, “Our aim is to provide a space where people can sit peacefully and nourish both body and mind. With the Law College Road outlet, we are creating more than a dining space, we are building a community that values health, sustainability, and mindful living.”
She added, “The vibrant greenery and open spaces beautifully complement our ethos of simplicity and nourishment. We hope this space inspires people to adopt healthier lifestyles and to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, while also caring for the planet.”
With outlets already at Koregaon Park and Baner in Pune, along with three locations in Mumbai, Santé Spa Cuisine is rapidly expanding its reach in the health food space. Soon to be available on Swiggy and Zomato, the brand is making nutritious and sustainable dining more accessible to urban diners.
Santé’s seasonal menus, like the current Monsoon Menu featuring Himalayan Thukpa soup with momos, keep the experience fresh, relevant, and comforting.
