Trèsind Mumbai has officially reopened, marking a new era for one of India’s most celebrated modern Indian restaurants. Known for redefining the fine dining landscape and pioneering innovation in Indian gastronomy, Trèsind Mumbai reintroduces itself with a bold, reimagined identity, one that stays true to its core philosophy of storytelling through flavour.

The refreshed concept takes guests on a culinary voyage across India, celebrating regional diversity while embracing global techniques. Every course on the new menu is designed to spark both innovation and nostalgia, weaving traditional roots with modern artistry that reflects Trèsind’s signature flair.

The redesigned interiors now echo the same balance of refinement and creativity seen on the plate, elegant, warm, and deeply experiential. From a vibrant open bar to intimate dining spaces, each corner of Trèsind Mumbai has been crafted to immerse guests in a sensory narrative of Indian hospitality and design.

Speaking about the relaunch, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Head Chef at Trèsind Mumbai, shared, “At Trèsind Mumbai, we continue to evolve our craft through technique, storytelling, and respect for tradition. Our vision is to take Indian cuisine to the global stage through a modern Indian concept that adapts to each city’s palate, culture, and produce. The Mumbai relaunch reflects this philosophy — rooted in heritage, yet expressive, inventive, and ever-evolving.”

Adding to this, Chef Himanshu Saini, Corporate Chef at Passion F&B, said, “This relaunch represents a new chapter in our journey, one where innovation meets heritage. Every element of this menu is a celebration of Indian flavours expressed through imagination, emotion, and precision. It’s about reintroducing guests to the beauty of Indian cuisine, one experience at a time.”

Bhupender Nath, Founder and Managing Director of Passion F&B, added, “Trèsind was born from a vision to bring Indian cuisine onto the global fine dining stage not just as food, but as art, as narrative, as memory. The reopening of Trèsind Mumbai is our reaffirmation of that promise to continue elevating Indian gastronomy with authenticity, artistry, and ambition.”

Founded in Dubai in 2014, Trèsind is often credited as the birthplace of innovative Indian cuisine. Its India debut in 2018 brought the same ethos to local audiences, earning accolades in culinary guides and awards. Today, Trèsind Mumbai continues to represent the spirit of Atithi Devo Bhava, offering a dining journey that honours India’s timeless culinary heritage while pushing its creative boundaries.

India’s craft beer story has found a golden moment of pride. Ironhill Brewery, the country’s largest microbrewery brand, has won the Chairman’s Selection Award at Beer Asia 2025 for its signature Golden Ale, standing tall among some of the finest brews from across Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

This recognition shines a global spotlight on India’s brewing craftsmanship, reaffirming Ironhill’s place as a leader in the craft beer community. Brewed with precision and passion by the brewery’s expert team in India, the Golden Ale was shortlisted and sent to Singapore for an exclusive tasting session as part of Beer Asia’s nomination process. Competing against exceptional entries from the continent, Ironhill’s creation impressed judges with its balance, aroma, and finesse, earning the much-coveted Chairman’s Selection title, a rare honour in the international brewing scene.

Ironhill’s team personally travelled to Bangkok to receive the award, a moment filled with pride and emotion. The win reflects the brewery’s dedication to innovation and its commitment to raising the standards of craft beer from India.

Sharing his excitement, Mr. Teja Chekuri, Managing Partner of Ironhill India, said, “This award is more than just a recognition. It is a reflection of the passion, persistence, and purpose that drive us every single day. Brewing great beer isn’t just about ingredients and technique; it’s about heart, culture, and the joy of sharing something extraordinary with people. Our Golden Ale carries that spirit, and to have it recognized on a global platform makes this win incredibly special for me and my entire team.”

Ironhill’s brewing philosophy blends traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Each batch is brewed to perfection, combining locally inspired flavours with global techniques. The Golden Ale, with its smooth malt base, crisp finish, and light fruit notes, perfectly represents Ironhill’s vision of creating world-class beer that connects with both enthusiasts and casual drinkers.

Adding to the celebration, Soundera Rajan, Head Brew Master, shared, “This recognition belongs to every member of the Ironhill family, from our brewers to our servers, from our guests to our supporters who believe in what we pour. This is not just our victory, it’s India’s craft beer moment to celebrate.”

With this milestone, Ironhill Brewery continues to set new standards for India’s craft beer scene, proving that exceptional beer made in India can proudly hold its place among the best in the world.

As the Golden Ale returns home crowned with international glory, Ironhill raises a toast to creativity, craftsmanship, and the spirit of community that defines every pour.

A bold new landmark emerges in Hyderabad with the grand launch of Asembli, a first-of-its-kind multi-sensory venue that redefines the art of celebration. Founded by Nagineni Srikanth Rao, Asembli goes beyond being just another event space, it is an emotion, a movement, and a dining destination where design, technology, gastronomy, and culture converge to awaken every sense.

Spanning an impressive 40,000 sq. ft., Asembli transforms gatherings into unforgettable experiences where the venue itself becomes the celebration. The concept is built on five powerful pillars, Music, Architecture, Entertainment, Immersive Technology, and Food & Beverage, each contributing to an environment that engages guests on every sensory level.

At the heart of Asembli stands a majestic dome, among the largest in India, inspired by sacred geometry. The venue features kinetic chandeliers, projection-mapped walls, and Asia’s largest Danley Sound Labs audio system, creating a dynamic atmosphere that envelops guests in light, sound, and emotion. Enhancing comfort and wellness, a three-tier air purification system and tiered platforms lend natural theatricality and depth to every celebration.

The culinary journey at Asembli is curated by Chef Varun Inamdar, an award-winning celebrity chef renowned for his inventive approach to Indian cuisine. His menu bridges nostalgia and modernity, reimagining traditional flavours through a global lens, from Kerala-style ghee roast reborn as tikka to Rajasthani Ker Sangri presented as tacos. The vibrant offerings are complemented by craft cocktails and artisanal brews, completing a dining experience that feels both familiar and refreshingly new.

“We didn’t just build a venue; we assembled a feeling,” says Nagineni Srikanth Rao, Founder of Asembli. “It’s where people come together to celebrate boldly, beautifully, and meaningfully. There’s truly nothing like it.”

“Asembli is designed to bring people together for experiences that evoke the senses,” adds Priyanka Mechineni, Director of Brand & Experience, Asembli. “It’s a space where design, sound, and flavour work in harmony to create meaningful celebrations that feel both personal and memorable.”

“Our design approach was to create an environment that breathes with the rhythm of every event,” shares Anirudh Osuri, Founder of Design Epicenter. “From the dome’s geometry to the play of light and air, every element at Asembli was envisioned to awaken the senses and foster connection.”

“Food, for me, is a bridge between memory and modernity,” says Chef Varun Inamdar. “At Asembli, the menu celebrates India’s roots while embracing the world’s flavours, it’s about familiar comfort told in a new language.”

In an age of fleeting experiences, Asembli stands as a living canvas, a place where every celebration becomes artful, intentional, and profoundly human.
