As part of its ongoing endeavour to revive and celebrate India’s lesser-known culinary traditions, Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach is shining a spotlight on Pathare Prabhu cuisine, a gastronomic legacy deeply embedded in Mumbai’s history. This exclusive food promotion, ‘Mumbai’s Ancestral Bites: Pathare Prabhu,’ offers diners a rare opportunity to experience a community’s rich and distinct culinary identity. With recipes passed down through generations, the Pathare Prabhu tradition is defined by its unique spice blends, bold seafood and red meat preparations, and a nuanced balance of flavours rarely found in mainstream Indian cuisine. Hosted at The Square restaurant, this initiative seeks to preserve and promote a vanishing culinary heritage.
Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach has partnered with acclaimed culinary expert Chef Bimba Nayak, a Pathare Prabhu herself, who has been instrumental in bringing this menu to life. Commenting on the initiative, she said, “Pathare Prabhu cuisine is a hidden treasure in Mumbai’s culinary landscape. Once a staple of the city’s aristocratic households, these dishes have gradually faded from public memory. This initiative aims to reignite interest in these historic flavours, offering a dining experience steeped in cultural significance and authenticity. Through this initiative, we are celebrating its vibrant flavours and ensuring its legacy continues for future generations.”
Chef Avinash Kumar, Director of Culinary at Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Our goal is to curate an experience that goes beyond just food. It’s about storytelling through flavours, evoking nostalgia, and showcasing Mumbai’s deep-rooted culinary traditions. We are honoured to bring this community’s rich culinary heritage to the forefront.”
The event runs exclusively on weekends from 7th to 9th February 2025 and 15th to 16th February 2025, offering an elaborate buffet that highlights the distinct seafood and red meat preparations that define Pathare Prabhu cuisine. Additionally, a special thali experience for lunch and an expansive buffet for dinner will allow guests to savour traditional dishes meticulously prepared by Chef Bimba Nayak, along with Chef Avinash Kumar and Chef JP Evangelist.

Healthy breakfasts are moving beyond simple salads and basic meals, with cafés across Mumbai creating menus that combine nutrition with comfort and flavour. Whether it is a quick morning bite before work or a relaxed brunch outing, several food destinations are now offering breakfast options that are both wholesome and satisfying.
Leading the list is Pantry, known for serving mindful meals without compromising on indulgence. Its breakfast menu includes the Four Cheese Omelet, bringing together mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan and artisanal gouda for a rich start to the day. For those looking for a protein-rich option, the Protein Packed Quinoa Egg Scrambled combines eggs, quinoa, cheddar and spinach into a filling breakfast plate. Another standout is the Marine Lines Wrap, filled with spicy cottage cheese, BBQ mix, peppers and lettuce wrapped in multigrain bread.
Flax Healthy Living continues to focus on lighter and nourishing breakfast choices. The Granola Power Bowl combines Greek yoghurt, fresh fruits and chia seeds for a balanced meal, while the Avocado and Garlic Butter Rye Toast pairs creamy avocado with roasted garlic butter and seeds on sourdough toast. Its smoothie bowls and parfait options, including Dragon Fruit Parfait, Blueberry Honey Parfait and Green Protein Smoothie, offer refreshing choices packed with nutrients.
Adding a creative touch to breakfast is Juliette Café & Bar, where classic comfort food meets global flavours. The café’s smoothie bowl collection, featuring options like The Beetfruit, Day Dreamer and The Green Galaxy, includes a mix of fruits, nuts, seeds and superfoods.
Those looking for sweet breakfast options can choose Japanese Fluffy Pancakes and French Toast, while savoury selections include Healthy Bowls, Quinoa Upma and Eggs Benedict Crobun. The Benne Dosas also bring a familiar South Indian touch to the menu.
Across the city, cafés and cloud kitchens are increasingly focusing on menus that balance indulgence with healthier ingredients. From protein-rich scrambles to energising smoothie bowls and wraps, breakfast options are becoming more thoughtful and diverse.
With changing eating habits and growing interest in wellness-led dining, these breakfast destinations show that healthy eating no longer means giving up flavour or comfort.

Rumour is set to celebrate International Wine Day with an immersive one-night flea experience designed around wine, music, curated brands, and social experiences in the capital.
Scheduled for 24 May 2026, the event titled “Flea at Rumour” will transform the New York-inspired speakeasy into an experiential social space featuring curated wine tastings, a dedicated wine window, pop-up lifestyle brands, and music-led experiences.
Positioned as an evening for wine enthusiasts and culture-focused audiences, the event aims to combine the relaxed charm of European wine evenings with the evolving social and nightlife culture of Delhi.

The Flea at Rumour further reflects Delhi’s growing appetite for experiential hospitality concepts that blend food, beverages, music, retail, and community-led engagement into a single curated evening.
