Scarlett House Juhu officially opened on Friday, August 8, 2025, introducing the city to a concept that blends the warmth of a neighbourhood hub with a modern, wellness-focused dining experience. Backed by Amit and Afsana Verma, hospitality expert Dhaval Udeshi, culinary and lifestyle icon Malaika Arora, designer Malaya Nagpal, and coffee-and-community voice Arhaan Khan, the outlet seeks to create an inviting space where people can unwind, connect, and feel at home.
Scarlett House is designed by Nyishi Parekh to reflect its surroundings while maintaining a distinct mood and story. The food philosophy is rooted in comfort and nostalgia, drawing inspiration from Malaika Arora’s own kitchen. Dishes are crafted with clean ingredients, generous use of olive oil, and an emphasis on nourishment over excess. Service is intentionally warm, and the plating has an informal, home-style feel.
At the heart of the outlet is India’s first Hydration Bar, offering flavoured waters, functional coolers, and smoothie-style blends formulated to support mood, clarity, and restoration — a direct response to the needs of contemporary lifestyles.
Afsana Verma, partner at Scarlett House, said:
“There’s a certain timelessness to the idea of comfort done well, and we saw the potential to build that into a community with real longevity at Scarlett House. From Gigi Bandra to our upcoming projects, we’re committed to creating dining experiences that stand out — not just for the food, but for the culture and community they nurture.”
Dhaval Udeshi, partner at Scarlett House & founder of Dhaval Udeshi Hospitality, added:
“Scarlett House was never about a cut-copy-paste model. It’s about creating something that reflects the people around it and the rhythm of the neighbourhood. For me, it’s about balancing design, functionality, and community needs while offering something truly distinctive.”
Malaika Arora, partner at Scarlett House, commented:
“Scarlett House feels like an extension of my own life — the way I like to eat, how I like to host, the kind of energy I seek in a space. The Hydration Bar was a passion project from the start. We wanted to create something that’s playful, functional, and perfectly in tune with how people live today.”
Scarlett House Juhu positions itself not merely as a dining spot but as a cultural and social space — one that adapts to the city’s energy while maintaining its own identity. The founders envision it as the first step in taking distinctive Indian F&B concepts beyond local borders, carrying them to a global audience with authenticity and purpose.

Nando’s, the internationally celebrated South African brand known for its flame-grilled PERi-PERi chicken, has made its much-anticipated entry into Pune with the launch of its first Casa at Phoenix Marketcity Mall in Viman Nagar.
The brand, fondly calling its restaurants “Casa” (meaning home in Portuguese), is bringing its fiery flavors to a city that has a deep love for food and bold taste experiences. After winning hearts in Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Punjab, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, Pune now joins the list of cities enjoying the iconic Nando’s touch.
“Pune is a city rich in culture, creativity and a serious love for food,” said Sameer Bhasin, CEO, Nando’s India. “We’ve felt the excitement from Punekars, who have been visiting us in other cities in India and other countries for a long time, and now we’re ready to serve the bold, unforgettable flavors they’ve been waiting for. We’re proud to bring our PERi-PERi experience to Pune and Phoenix Marketcity is the perfect place to begin.”
What sets Nando’s apart is its fresh approach to food. All its bastings, marinades, and sauces are made using real ingredients with no artificial flavors or colorants. The chicken is always flame-grilled for that unique taste, and diners can choose their spice level, from mild to Extra Hot, depending on how much heat they can handle.
Beyond the food, each Nando’s Casa is designed to immerse guests in the heart and soul of Southern Africa. Bold colors, handcrafted art, and Afro-Luso beats create a lively atmosphere that reflects the brand’s roots while offering a warm and welcoming space for diners.
With Pune added to its footprint, Nando’s now serves its signature flame-grilled chicken across seven major Indian cities, continuing its journey of spreading the love for PERi-PERi flavors.

Bombay Brasserie, the all-day Indian Bar & Eatery, has officially opened its flagship Delhi NCR outpost at DLF CyberHub, Gurugram. After making a mark in Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Guwahati, and Kolkata, the brand now brings its much-loved mix of food, drinks, and design to the capital region.
Celebrating the vibrant spirit of India with every bite and sip, the restaurant promises to be more than just a dining destination. “Bombay Brasserie is about much more than dining. It’s about discovering India’s regions, ingredients, and stories, whether through a dish that reminds you of childhood or a cocktail that brings back a city. This flagship marks an exciting new chapter for us in Delhi NCR, one where design, food, and storytelling come together in unexpected ways,” said Shikha Nath, Culinary Director at Bombay Brasserie.
At Bombay Brasserie, the menu is a culinary map of India. From foraged hill herbs and forgotten spice blends to street-side staples and heirloom recipes, every dish is retold with a modern twist. The bar, equally inventive, offers drinks inspired by India’s rich history and traditions each cocktail beginning with a story rooted in a snack, a spice, or a memory.
The spatial design of the new outpost adds another dimension to the experience. Blending the bustling energy of a French brasserie with contemporary interpretations of Indian art and artistry, the CyberHub restaurant has been envisioned as a living gallery of modern India bold, layered, and rich with stories.
With its flagship Delhi NCR debut, Bombay Brasserie continues its journey of blending food, design, and storytelling, creating a space that celebrates India in all its flavors and forms.
