Ishaara, a contemporary Indian dining establishment, is set to unveil Swaad by Ishaara, an exclusive pop-up experience meticulously curated by celebrated food expert Rushina Munshaw Ghildiyal. This unique event, titled Swaad: A Journey Through Taste, takes diners on an extraordinary exploration of India’s culinary heritage, reviving regional flavors and age-old ingredients in a modern setting. It’s an invitation for guests to experience Indian cuisine in a fresh light while connecting with its deep cultural roots.
The Swaad experience is a carefully crafted 7-course meal, each course representing a distinct taste profile, from bitter to sweet. Through this progressive menu, diners embark on a sensory journey that merges ancient Indian culinary practices with contemporary expression. Each course is a tribute to traditional ingredients, honoring regional farmers, communities, and the ecosystems they support.
The meal opens with Katu (Bitter/Astringent), highlighting the rhizome family through an Osaman soup infused with turmeric, ginger, and mango ginger—a nod to the healing spices of Gujarat. Namak (Salt) follows, paying homage to salt’s integral role in Indian cuisine with Patra Shaka, Australian Salt Bush, and the prized Pisyoon Loon from Uttarakhand. This course celebrates salt as a transformative ingredient that defines flavor across various regions.
Khatai (Sour) brings a refreshing tang to the table, combining Gondhoraj lime with exotic Australian lemon myrtle and finger lime dukkah. For the spice lovers, the Mirch (Spice) course transports diners through India’s vast history of spice trade, featuring Pipali, Naga chili, and Australian Mountain Pepperberry—each bringing a unique heat and depth to the experience.
The meal continues with Tadka, an ode to the art of tempering spices in Indian cooking. This course uses traditional pahadi wild tubers, filling the air with aromas that evoke the mountain regions of northern India. The sixth course, Svada, draws inspiration from ancient Indian texts, featuring dishes like Black Moong Dal, Mansodan biryani, and Takra, a seasoned buttermilk—all of which showcase heritage recipes cherished across generations.
The experience concludes on a sweet note with Sugandha, a final course that blends toasted puffed rice, fragrant paan leaves, and vanilla-infused cream with Bengali gur patasha, a delicate sweet made from jaggery. This dessert provides a memorable end to a journey that celebrates India’s culinary diversity and timeless flavors.
Each plate in the Swaad experience is designed to capture the cultural significance of its ingredients, bringing the stories of India’s diverse landscapes, people, and traditions to the table. By showcasing regional ingredients in an innovative format, Ishaara hopes to foster a deeper appreciation for India’s rich food heritage and honor the contributions of local farmers and artisans.
The Swaad by Ishaara pop-up will be hosted at Ishaara Palladium, High Street Phoenix in Mumbai, on the evenings of November 20th through 23rd, 2024, from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm. The exclusive experience is priced at ₹2950, inclusive of all charges, providing a culinary experience that promises to leave diners with a newfound appreciation for India’s remarkable flavors.

Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram recently celebrated the start of the festive season with a unique, eco-friendly cake mixing ceremony that blended holiday traditions with sustainability. The event brought together guests, local dignitaries, media representatives, and resort staff for an occasion that emphasized the resort's commitment to environmental stewardship.
This year’s cake mixing featured an engaging twist. Barrels and crushers were used to make the mixing process more interactive, inviting participants to add dried fruits, nuts, and spices while festive music played in the background. The lively gathering captured the essence of the season, with guests dressed in bright holiday colors, enjoying the atmosphere and seasonal treats.
A highlight of the event was the sustainable tree lighting ceremony. In a refreshing departure from traditional Christmas decorations, the resort showcased a tree made entirely from locally sourced coconut leaves (panaellai), including the base and decorations. This innovative approach underscored the resort's commitment to sustainability by opting for natural, waste-reducing materials.
Adding to the festive mood, children from the local community joined the event, singing carols and spreading joy. Their heartfelt performances brought warmth to the celebration, embodying the holiday spirit.
Speaking on the occasion, Shabin Sarvotham, Senior General Manager of Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram, shared, “At Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay, we aim to combine the joy of tradition with our commitment to sustainability. This year's Cake Mixing Ceremony is not only a celebration of the festive spirit, but also a step toward reducing our environmental impact. The use of coconut leaves for our tree, and the participation of local children in carol singing, highlights our ongoing efforts to embrace sustainability while fostering a sense of community.”
The resort has long prioritized eco-friendly practices, including water and energy conservation, waste reduction, and promoting local culture and biodiversity. Through these efforts, Radisson Blu Resort Temple Bay Mamallapuram continues to provide guests with an experience that combines luxury with environmental responsibility, ensuring each visit is both memorable and in harmony with nature.
