Shao, the Pan-Asian restaurant at Radisson Blu Bengaluru Outer Ring Road, has unveiled a new à la carte menu by Chef Sitam Lama, marking the first full expression of the chef's culinary vision at the restaurant.

The new menu brings together flavours and culinary traditions from regional Chinese, Southeast Asian and Balinese cuisines, offering guests an expansive Pan-Asian dining experience within a single menu.

The selection begins with a range of vegetarian creations, including Crispy Spicy Tofu, tossed with chestnut, peanut and dried chilli, and Crunchy Assorted Mushroom, wok-tossed with five-spice, chilli, garlic and spring onion. The sushi selection also features vegetarian options such as Avocado Nigiri and Sweet Shiitake Nigiri.

The menu extends into comforting and aromatic preparations, including Chongqing Chicken Soup, a slow-cooked broth featuring Sichuan peppercorns, dried chillies and goji berries. The Balinese Chicken Satay combines hand-minced chicken with chargrilling and a lemongrass dip.

For diners seeking bolder flavours, the Sizzling Cumin Lamb combines toasted cumin with the heat of Sichuan peppercorns, while the Smoked Spicy Pork Belly with Bamboo Shoots is wok-tossed with the kitchen's own fermented chillies and garlic.

The Shanghai Chicken Dumpling, finished with truffle oil, provides a lighter option, while the Hunan Steamed Seabass, topped with pickled mustard and chilli, brings the savoury selection to a bold and tangy finish.

Across the menu, Chef Sitam Lama's approach focuses on premium ingredients, refined techniques and authentic regional flavours, while presenting familiar Asian culinary traditions through a contemporary restaurant setting.

The new menu debuted on 25 August 2026, giving guests an opportunity to experience Chef Lama's signature creations as Shao continues its culinary evolution.

Even Steven has opened its doors in Bandra, Mumbai, bringing a new all-day diner concept centred around flavour-driven food, house-made breads, inventive beverages and an easy-going neighbourhood atmosphere.

Founded by Geeta Amin and Timanshu Mokal, Even Steven is designed as an unpretentious neighbourhood diner where guests can drop in throughout the day for breakfast, lunch, coffee or dinner.

The 25-seater space features an open kitchen that allows diners to watch their food being prepared, while its signature green aesthetic and warm interiors create a relaxed setting designed for lingering over meals and conversations.

Chef Christopher Fernandes worked closely with the founders to develop the culinary and beverage programmes while also helping shape the overall character and energy of the diner.

The menu represents one of Chef Fernandes' most extensive explorations of vegetarian cooking, with vegetarian dishes given equal prominence alongside meat-based offerings.

The Egg Section moves beyond conventional breakfast dishes with options such as Jumbo Lump Crab or Chicken Krapow French Toast and the Arnold Bennett Omelette, adding a more contemporary approach to familiar egg-based preparations.

At the centre of the offering is the diner's sandwich programme, with every sandwich built using bread baked in-house.

The non-vegetarian selection includes the Fried Chicken Donut, combining hot honey, smoked cream cheese and crispy fried chicken, along with the Pain Suisse Smash, featuring a double beef patty, charred onion, cheddar, pickles and black garlic aioli.

Vegetarian options receive similar attention. The Grilled Halloumi sandwich combines grilled halloumi with pesto, charred tomato, balsamic and smoky romesco in fresh ciabatta, while the Caprese Sando brings together stracciatella, tomatoes, pesto and balsamic on house-made focaccia.

Beyond sandwiches, the menu features familiar comfort food with contemporary touches. The vegetarian Rigatoni combines roasted red pepper emulsion, creamy cheese curds and fresh herbs, while the Steak & Frites pairs tenderloin fillet with green peppercorn jus and truffle fries.

The beverage programme is led by an experienced master barista and spans traditional coffee preparations as well as more experimental creations. The menu includes Chemex pour-overs and Hot Matcha Lattes, alongside signatures such as Coca-Cola Espresso, Tiramisu Iced Coffee and Island Pineapple Coffee.

Coolers, frappes and teas further expand the beverage offering, creating options suited to different times of the day.

Desserts include Banana Foster Toast and Dark Chocolate Ganache, providing a sweet finish to the diner experience.

Located in Bandra West, Even Steven aims to establish itself as a neighbourhood destination where guests can enjoy everything from a quick coffee to a leisurely meal, with the philosophy "Eat Easy, Live Easy!" guiding the overall experience.
