India’s identity is woven not just through its myriad languages and breathtaking landscapes, but through the vibrant tapestry of its flavours. Every region brings its own sensory signature—tastes that spark memories, transport us back home, and gently remind us who we are.
It’s a legacy that doesn’t merely nourish; it narrates. A handful of spices from Kerala’s lush coast or a melt-in-the-mouth biscuit from a Hyderabadi bakery can stir more emotion than a stack of photo albums ever could.
Now imagine capturing these soulful regional stories in something as universal as chocolate. That’s exactly what MISHTHAAN, a beautifully curated collection of regional-inspired chocolates, sets out to do. Born from a passion to celebrate India’s rich culinary soul, MISHTHAAN transforms the country’s most iconic local flavours into luxurious chocolate experiences.
Each bar isn’t just a sweet treat—it’s a taste memory reinvented. A heartfelt indulgence where heritage meets innovation, turning chocolate into a canvas for India’s most beloved stories.
Here’s how this delicious journey across Bharat unfolds, one irresistible bite at a time:
MISHTHAAN Mahabaleshwar Berries & Rose Dark Chocolate
From the strawberry fields of MaharashtraThis bar is a quiet homage to Mahabaleshwar, the famed land of berries. It brings together handpicked strawberries and cranberries from the misty hills, layered with delicate rose petals that add a fragrant, almost poetic softness. Wrapped in velvety dark chocolate, it tastes like early morning walks, market stalls overflowing with fruit, and rose gardens still wet with dew.
MISHTHAAN Kolkata Meetha Paan Milk Chocolate
A sweet stroll through the bylanes of BengalKolkata doesn’t just serve paan—it offers a whole ritual, rich in charm and tradition. This milk chocolate bar captures that experience with surprising grace. Delicate notes of betel leaf, cardamom, and traditional paan ingredients blend seamlessly into creamy chocolate, transforming a beloved street-side delight into something smooth, nostalgic, and deeply satisfying. It’s paan without the chew, only the enchantment.
MISHTHAAN Maharashtra's Alphonso Mango & Cardamom Milk Chocolate
A slice of Ratnagiri summersFew things announce an Indian summer quite like the golden glow of Alphonso mangoes. This chocolate celebrates that lush sweetness, pairing it with the gentle warmth of cardamom—a spice often hidden in grandmother’s mithai boxes. The result? Sunshine in a bar—rich, juicy, aromatic, and comforting. A celebration of mango season you can relish all year round.
MISHTHAAN Kerala’s Malabar Black Pepper & Pineapple Milk Chocolate
Where spice meets sweetness on Kerala’s coastAt first bite, the pineapple shines through—tangy, tropical, playful. Then comes a gentle whisper of Malabar black pepper that adds depth and a subtle thrill. It’s a bar that tells two stories—the fruit vendor and the spice trader—blending them into one delicious narrative. Kerala, in its layered, generous, slightly mischievous glory.
MISHTHAAN Hyderabad Osmania Biscuits Milk Chocolate
Tea-time nostalgia, reimaginedOsmania biscuits are a Hyderabadi classic—soft, buttery, just a touch salty. This bar folds that comforting flavour into a creamy milk chocolate base, creating a treat that feels like a warm cup of chai and conversations that linger into twilight. It’s subtle, familiar, and nearly impossible to stop at just one piece.
With each thoughtfully crafted bar, MISHTHAAN doesn’t just satisfy sweet cravings. It reconnects us with places we miss, people we cherish, and traditions we carry in our hearts.
This isn’t just chocolate.This is India—made beautifully, delectably edible.

Salt – a small pinch
Vanilla essence – 1/4 tsp

Hospitalitynews had the delightful opportunity to be hosted at Carnaby, the vibrant all-day dining restaurant at The Residency Towers Chennai, for an exclusive tasting of their soon-to-be-launched Italian menu, curated in collaboration with Chennai-based Italian culinary expert Fiammetta Pereira.
From the moment we stepped in, the ambience set the tone for an afternoon filled with soulful Italian flavours and heartfelt hospitality. The warmth extended by Chef Ajeeth Janardhanan, Culinary Director at The Residency Group of Hotels, and Fiammetta Pereira truly made the experience memorable.
Speaking about the new menu, Ajeeth, Culinary Director shared,"With this new Italian menu, we’re celebrating the heart of Italy—simple, honest ingredients prepared with passion. Each dish tells a story of tradition, but with a fresh twist that reflects our kitchen’s creativity.”
Fiammetta Pereira, with her infectious passion for Sicilian cuisine, walked us through the inspiration behind each dish. She said, “Working with the team at The Residency Towers has been a pleasure. Dishes like Pasta alla Norma, seasonal vegetable risotto, and specialities from Liguria and Sicily will soon be part of the Carnaby experience.”
The menu beautifully captured the essence of Italy. Some of our personal favourites from the afternoon included:
Throughout the event, the generosity and warmth of the Carnaby team stood out as much as the flavors on our plates. The conversations, the plating, and the passion behind every dish reflected the team’s dedication to delivering a truly authentic Italian dining experience in the heart of Chennai.
Fiammetta Pereira also shared her pride in founding Bottega Pereira (@bottegapereira on Instagram), a beautifully curated home‑and‑lifestyle boutique based here in Chennai. The name “Bottega” — Italian for “workshop” — is fitting: it’s a creative space where Fiammetta, along with her daughter Tanitha, brings warmth and elegance into everyday living. The boutique features thoughtfully designed linens, table accessories, cushions, décor, gift sets and more — each piece selected to “bring warmth and happiness to your home".

For anyone looking to experience authentic Italian cuisine right here in Chennai, paired with genuine hospitality, Carnaby at The Residency Towers is a must-visit. And for those wanting to take a little slice of Italy home—whether through flavors or fabrics—Bottega Pereira is worth exploring too.
The Italian Food Festival runs through this week, with the new dishes soon becoming a permanent part of the menu.
