Milagro Brings Old-World European Charm to Mumbai’s Evolving Dining Scene

Milagro is redefining Mumbai’s all-day dining culture with a refined experience that seamlessly blends European elegance, contemporary flavours, and warm hospitality in the heart of Prabhadevi. Designed as a destination that transitions effortlessly from leisurely lunches and sunset dining to intimate dinners and late-night gatherings, the restaurant offers an immersive escape inspired by the charm and romance of old-world Europe.

Founded by Francesca Smith and Romeo, alongside co-founders Suved Lohia and Deepesh Sharma, with partners Artik Salva, Simra Waseem Amrohi, and Waseem R. Amrohi, Milagro has emerged as one of the city’s most distinctive lifestyle dining destinations. The space captures timeless sophistication through grand arches, crystal chandeliers, layered textures, and curated artworks, creating an atmosphere that feels elegant yet inviting. Sunlit during the day and softly candlelit by night, Milagro evolves beautifully with every passing hour.

At the centre of this experience is Chef José Manuel Borrallo Sánchez, whose Michelin-starred culinary background across Mallorca, Valencia, and Paris brings depth and finesse to Milagro’s menu. Rooted in European and Mediterranean influences, the restaurant’s refreshed culinary programme introduces a range of newly added and reimagined dishes designed for both indulgent dining and everyday moments.

Highlights from the vegetarian menu include Carpaccio Coco and Asparagus, Morels à la Crema, Coco Artichoke & Red Peppers Flatbread, Coco Verdura | Paneer Flatbread, Veg Lasagne, Spaghetti Arrabbiata with Burrata, and Paella de la Huerta. Non-vegetarian signatures such as Crab à la Donostiarra, Buff Carpaccio, Chicken Diavolo, Black Paella, Slow-Cooked Lamb, and Sole Meunière further showcase the menu’s layered flavours and refined approach. Desserts including Sticky Toffee Pudding, Churros, and Tiramisu complete the experience with a sense of comfort and indulgence.

Complementing the culinary offering is Milagro’s thoughtfully crafted cocktail programme featuring signature creations such as the Carajillo Milagroso with coffee and house-made liqueur, the Patio Andaluz layered with hazelnut and passion fruit notes, the Rebujito with gin and sherry, and the Aged Mezcal Negroni, an oak-aged cocktail with smoky depth and complexity.

Further enhancing its daytime dining experience, Milagro also introduces curated lunch experiences tailored to Mumbai’s evolving social culture. From corporate lunch offerings to the Yapper’s Menu designed around relaxed mid-day gatherings and “ladies who lunch” occasions, the restaurant creates a space where dining feels both elevated and effortless.

“European cuisine is about simplicity, quality, and emotion,” says Chef José. “At Milagro, we focus on creating dishes that feel comforting yet refined, while bringing together timeless flavours with a contemporary perspective.”

Open daily for lunch, sunset dining, dinner, and late-night experiences, Milagro continues to position itself as a destination where every moment, whether casual or celebratory,  is designed to linger a little longer.

Mumbai Port Authority Plants 1,500 Trees on World Environment Day under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam

Plantation drive held at Cotton Green and Sewri East to support green cover and public participation in environmental care

Mumbai Port Authority organised a tree plantation drive on World Environment Day 2026 under the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam initiative, reinforcing the message that caring for the environment begins with individual responsibility and collective action.

The plantation programme was organised by the Civil Engineering Department of Mumbai Port Authority at two locations. A total of 1,500 plantations were undertaken as part of the drive, including 500 trees at Ram Mandir, Cotton Green East, and 1,000 bamboo plants along the footpaths at Sewri Gadi Adda, below Atal Setu, Sewri East.

The first plantation activity was held at Ram Mandir, Cotton Green East, Mumbai 400033, in association with FICCI FLO. The second activity was held at Sewri Gadi Adda, below Atal Setu, Sewri East, Mumbai 400015, in association with the Director General of Shipping and Amazing Nautical Association.

The initiative carries a larger public message beyond plantation numbers. Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam encourages citizens to plant a tree in honour of their mother and, through that gesture, recognise the nurturing role of nature in everyday life. The drive also reflects Mumbai Port Authority’s effort to contribute to greener public spaces in areas connected with the port and the city.

Speaking on the initiative, Dr. P. N. Bahekar, Secretary, Mumbai Port Authority, said, “A tree planted in the name of one’s mother is not only a tribute, it is a promise to protect life, nurture nature and leave behind a healthier environment for the next generation. Mumbai Port Authority is proud to be part of Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam on World Environment Day. As a public institution deeply connected with Mumbai and its people, we believe that development and environmental care must move together. Every tree planted today is a small but meaningful step towards cleaner air, greener public spaces and a more responsible future.”

The bamboo plantation at Sewri East will add to the greenery along a key public movement corridor near Atal Setu, while the plantation at Cotton Green will support green cover in a port-linked urban area.

Mumbai Port Authority has been taking steps towards sustainable port operations and environmental care across its areas of work. The World Environment Day plantation drive reflects this commitment to cleaner, greener and more responsible development through participation by institutions, partner organisations and citizens.

More Than a Grocery Store: Foodstories Launches Mumbai's Most Immersive Food Destination

The food lifestyle platform founded by Avni and Ashni Biyani debuts in Mumbai at Bandra, Hill road

Mumbai, India – Foodstories, the food lifestyle platform founded by Avni and Ashni Biyani, makes its Mumbai debut this June with immersive flagship destinations in Bandra and Lokhandwala, introducing a new kind of culinary and cultural experience for the modern Indian consumer.

Created at the intersection of food, wellbeing and community, Foodstories is not a traditional grocery store. It is a platform that brings together farmers, makers, artisans, producers, chefs and storytellers through curated products, experiences and everyday rituals.

Launching alongside the stores is the Foodstories mobile app and a Mumbai-based fulfilment ecosystem enabling deliveries across the city in under 60 minutes, extending the experience beyond the store.

At the heart of Foodstories is a simple belief: food, when sourced with intention and enjoyed with curiosity, has the power to nourish not only the body, but culture, connection and self-expression.

"At Foodstories, we believe food is one of the most powerful ways people express who they are," says Avni Biyani, Co-Founder."The choices we make every day shape our wellbeing, rituals and culture. We celebrate the farmers, producers, bakers and artisans behind every ingredient because understanding where food comes from changes how we experience it. Foodstories exists to make food more joyful, intentional and connected."

The Mumbai stores introduce a collection of original concepts including That Grocery Café, which brings ingredient stories from shelf to plate; That Bev Bar, focused on hydration, caffeination and creativity; and That Bake Shop, led by award-winning pastry educator Chef Dean Rodrigues, where baking becomes a live experience throughout the day.

Freshness remains central to the experience, with a fresh pasta bar by Chef Aabhas Mehrotra of Sorrentina fame, live spice grinding, freshly roasted nuts, made-to-order nut butters and a working flour mill created in collaboration with Two Brothers Organic Farms.

Guests can also explore The Tea Library, a dedicated tea discovery destination designed around origin, craft and contemporary tea rituals.

Foodstories is powered by a community of passionate specialists including bakers, farmers, chefs, water sommeliers and caviarologists, while also serving as a platform for emerging Indian food brands and producers.

Around the world, food destinations are becoming cultural destinations. If Los Angeles has Erewhon, Mumbai now has Foodstories — a new home for discovery, wellbeing and modern food culture.

"Mumbai is a city that has always embraced ambition, creativity and culture, and nowhere is that more visible than Bandra," says Ashni Biyani, Co-Founder."Foodstories was built for this consumer. We wanted to create a destination where discovery becomes part of everyday life; where buying ingredients can lead to a conversation with a maker, a tasting or an entirely new food experience. We're not simply opening stores in Mumbai. We're building a platform for modern food culture."

Foodstories allows customers to engage with the brand in-store, through dedicated relationship managers, online via its website and app, and through rapid delivery across Mumbai.

As food increasingly becomes a reflection of lifestyle and wellbeing, Foodstories is building a new category in India — one where food, culture, community and discovery come together under a single roof.

Designed for a generation that wants to live better, eat better and stay curious, Foodstories arrives in Mumbai starting with Bandra and soon launching in Lokhandwala, Andheri.

To foster engagement and creativity around environmental conservation, employees across departments will participate in an environment-themed drawing competition, providing a platform to express their perspectives on sustainability and the role each individual can play in protecting the planet.

Adding further momentum to the celebrations, the hotel has partnered with Ugaoo, one of India's leading urban gardening brands, for a dedicated green showcase featuring a curated selection of plants and sustainable gardening solutions. Guests and employees will have the opportunity to explore and purchase indoor and outdoor plants, encouraging the creation of greener homes and workplaces while making sustainability a part of everyday living.

Through these thoughtfully curated initiatives, ITC Grand Central, Mumbai, reinforces its vision of integrating sustainability into every aspect of hospitality. By fostering awareness, encouraging conscious choices, and creating meaningful connections with nature, the hotel continues to contribute towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future, one small action at a time.

Supa San Brings Japan's Nomikai Culture to Mumbai with a Gamified After-Work Experience

There’s a moment when BKC begins to shift. Emails slow, blazers come off, and the city’s corporate crowd heads not home, but to Supa San. At 5 PM, laptops shut, the workday fades, and something far more electric takes over. Enter Nomikai Hours, a high-energy ritual that flips the idea of happy hours into something unpredictable. Built on chance, driven by indulgence, and charged with spontaneity, it turns the post-work hour into a playground, where control loosens, the vibe takes over, and the night begins before you even realise it.

Rooted in Japan’s post-work drinking culture of Nomikai, where hierarchy dissolves over drinks, Supa San brings this spirit to Mumbai with a twist that’s impossible to ignore, elevated with limitless drinks. This isn’t about discounted cocktails, it’s about what happens when you add unpredictability to the mix. Because here, you don’t just order a drink. You play for it, unlock it, and sometimes, you win more than you expected.

The night begins the moment you step in. A game of Janken rock, paper, scissors, sets the tone. Win, and a Power Card lands in your hand, unlocking surprise perks that could shift the entire course of your evening. Lose, and it doesn’t matter, the game is far from over. Because at Nomikai Hours, the experience is designed to build, layer by layer, moment by moment.

For those who lean in, the 90-minute limitless drinks experience takes over, free-flowing cocktails and beers paired with a curated round of small bites that arrive as the table settles into its rhythm. Plates of crispy Tori Kari Kari, wasabi-laced edamame, and comforting gyozas and sushi rolls move seamlessly between conversations, designed not to interrupt, but to keep the evening flowing. For groups looking for more, the experience expands into mix-and-match formats like the Robatayaki skewers and sushi roll sets, where guests can pick and choose their favourites, keeping the table dynamic and constantly in motion. It’s effortless, it’s social, and it’s built for those who came to unwind, but end up staying longer than planned.

And just when the night feels like it’s found its pace, Nomikai flips the script again. Power Cards return, rewards shift, and the energy spikes without warning. Tables erupt, colleagues become friends, and what starts as a casual drink begins to feel like something far more electric. Because here, no two evenings play out the same way.

Then comes the final moment, the one that decides how the night ends. As the bill arrives, so does the dice roll. A rare double one unlocks 50% off the next visit, turning luck into loyalty, while every table walks away with a voucher in hand, a reason to return before the moment fades. It’s a closing ritual designed not just to end the night, but to ensure it lingers.

Running Wednesday to Friday, from 5 PM to 8 PM, Supa San’s Nomikai Hours aren’t positioned as an offer, they’re a programme, a pattern, a new kind of after-work culture for Mumbai. In a neighbourhood driven by deadlines and deals, this is where the release finally feels earned.

Vegetarian favourites include the Fiamma 2.0 and Basil Pesto pizzas, while meat lovers can opt for the Chermoula Chicken with Vodka Sauce pizza. Guests can also snack on the bakery’s much-loved “Better Than Dr*gs Garlic Knots” while waiting for their order.

To complete the experience, the outlet serves specialty coffee, making it the perfect stop for a quick caffeine fix before a meeting or brainstorming session.

Whether it’s for a fresh bake, a hearty pizza or a leisurely coffee break, TwentySeven Bakehouse invites guests to arrive hungry and leave happy. Those unable to visit in person can also order through Swiggy and Zomato and have their favourites delivered straight to their home or office.

Four decades of The Leela, built by its people

As the hospitality brand marks four decades, it is recognising the employees and long-serving associates who have contributed to its growth and culture

As The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts marks 40 years since its founding, the milestone also highlights the contribution of employees who have been part of the brand’s growth from a single hotel in Mumbai to a multi-property luxury hospitality company.

For four decades, the brand has focused on hospitality, service and guest experience. Drawing from the Indian ethos of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’, The Leela’s operations have been shaped by generations of associates across its hotels and corporate functions.

Celebrating Associates

The 40-year celebrations began earlier this year with a corporate townhall involving teams from across the company’s hotels. The event brought together associates from different locations to reflect on the brand’s history and acknowledge the contributions of its workforce.

As part of the event, employees participated in a commemorative pinning ceremony and received 40-year badges. Long-serving associates were also recognised for their years of service and contribution to the organisation.

Journeys of Growth

For many associates, The Leela’s story is deeply intertwined with their own. Their journeys reflect not only the growth of a hospitality brand, but the evolution of a culture built on care, excellence and belonging.

Reflecting on her 31-year journey with the organisation, Seema Jadhav, Assistant Manager – Marketing shares, “What began as my first job soon became an opportunity to witness the making of True Indian Luxury. From just two hotels then to 15 today, I have truly grown alongside The Leela.”

Her words echo the experiences of many long-serving associates who have spent decades helping shape the brand while building lifelong careers and relationships along the way.

Leadership Development

The Leela’s commitment to nurturing talent is reflected in the journeys of many of its leaders. Having joined the organisation in his early years and risen from Management Trainee to Senior Vice President and General Manager, Sridhar Nair’s story embodies the opportunities, mentorship and culture of excellence that have long defined The Leela.

“Having witnessed The Leela’s remarkable evolution firsthand, I have had the privilege of growing alongside the brand through some of its most defining moments. From my early years with the organisation to taking on leadership responsibilities today, the journey has been shaped by learning, growth and an unwavering commitment to excellence. As we celebrate four decades of True Indian Luxury, I feel immense pride in being part of a brand that continues to set benchmarks for Indian hospitality while remaining deeply rooted in its values and people.”

Founder’s Influence

Many of these stories also carry the enduring influence of the brand’s Founder, Captain C. P. Krishnan Nair, whose vision continues to inspire The Leela’s culture today.

Anita Kakodkar, Vice President – Architecture and Design who has been part of the organisation for 28 years, recalls a lesson that has stayed with her throughout her career “Even in a half-built space, he saw the finished story – not just the architecture, but the emotion a guest would one day feel.”

It was a philosophy that extended far beyond design, shaping a culture where every detail is considered through the lens of the guest experience.

A Culture of Belonging

For others, what has endured most is the sense of community that has defined life at The Leela. After three decades with the brand, Sarita Thomas, Executive Assistant – Corporate Finance, describes what wearing the Leela name means to her in a single word: “Family.”

It is a sentiment that speaks to the culture of warmth, respect and genuine hospitality that has remained unchanged even as the brand has grown and evolved over the years.

A Taste of Home: Namah's Darshini-Style QSR Is Mumbai's Most Authentic South Indian Opening Yet

Mumbai just got a whole lot more delicious and a whole lot more soulful. Namah, a Bengaluru-inspired darshini-style QSR, has arrived in Andheri West's Four Bungalows, bringing with it the kind of warmth, nostalgia, and comfort that only a deeply rooted South Indian dining experience can offer.

Namah is built around a philosophy as old as hospitality itself: Namma Mane, Nimma Mane: My Home is Your Home. It's a belief that shapes everything here, from the food on the plate to the stone beneath your feet.

From the moment guests step inside, Namah begins to transport them. A Padipura, the traditional gateway of a South Indian home, forms a striking first impression, immediately transporting guests out of Mumbai and into something far more familiar. Beyond it, a flower-decked gazebo draws its inspiration from the Totimane, the ancestral courtyard that sits at the heart of every Kannada home. Amphitheatre-style seating, landscaped courtyards, an adorned Ganesh idol, and the arresting "Wall of South" come together to create a space that feels less like a restaurant and more like a homecoming.

The material palette tells its own quiet story. Kota flooring with inlays of white marble and Jaisalmer stone reinterpret traditional South Indian motifs in a contemporary language. Sadarahalli stone runs across textures, pillars, fountains, and railings. Layers of terrazzo, terracotta tiles, and abundant greenery soften the interiors into something that feels organic, lived-in, and deeply comforting. Several architectural and decorative elements have been thoughtfully sourced from across Karnataka and South India, adding layers of regional character and authenticity to the space.

The menu is where Namah truly earns its place. The Idli and Vada Junction alone is a love letter to the form: Mallige Idlis so soft they barely hold their shape, Thatte Idlis served the flat, wide Bengaluru way, and the signature Ghee Podi Mini Idlis arriving in a pool of coconut gatti chutney, tomato chutney, and sambar. The Tindi Terminal reaches further into the regional map. Mangaluru Buns, pillowy and subtly sweet, arrive with veg khorma and coconut chutney. Goli Baje, the beloved Coastal fritters, come with neer chutney. Khara Pongal is paired with raitha, red coconut chutney, and sandige. Paniyaram, Shavige Bhaat, and Khara Bhaat round out a section that reads like a tour of Karnataka's breakfast culture.

Desserts carry the same regional conviction. Obbattu, the ghee-drenched puran poli of Karnataka, is served with badam milk. Ada Pradhaman and Pineapple Bhaat are topped with shredded badam. Mysore Pak and Wheat Halwa made with palm jaggery complete a dessert section that feels like the final chapter of a meal at someone's grandmother's home.

  On the beverages front, the Filter Kaapi anchors everything, available hot, iced, as a milkshake, and in the now-famous Filter Coffee Softy. Alongside it sit softy flavours including Salted Caramel with Cookie, Tender Coconut, and Guava Chilly, as well as fresh juices, Masala Majjige, and Tender Coconut Juice, a beverage menu that is as thoughtful as everything else on the table.

At a time when Mumbai diners are chasing authenticity, regionality, and the kind of comfort that feels genuinely earned, Namah couldn't have arrived at a better moment. This is South Indian dining not as a passing trend, but as a culture; a space where food, design, tradition, and emotion come together to recreate the feeling of being welcomed home.

SAMHI Hotels Leadership Comment

Commenting on the performance, Ashish Jakhanwala, MD & CEO, SAMHI Hotels Ltd. said, “FY2026 was a year of transformation where we created a solid foundation coupled with tangible outperformance in the midst of real headwinds — and I am pleased to share our progress with you. Financial performance: Delivered strong FY26 revenue growth of 12.3% despite multiple business disruptions, exceeding the guided 9–11% range. EBITDA grew 8.8% despite GST-related impacts, reflecting resilient operational performance. Net Debt to EBITDA now at a comfortable ~3.0x — a promise delivered despite revenue disruption and active investment in future growth.”

He added, “GIC investment & balance sheet: A landmark development in FY2026 was our partnership with GIC, one of the world’s most respected institutional investors. GIC invested ~₹6,000mn (with a further ₹1,500mn committed) for a 35% minority stake in a platform of ~1,000 rooms — a strong validation of the quality and prospects of our assets. This capital infusion has materially strengthened our balance sheet and gives us significant firepower to pursue the next phase of growth. Portfolio growth: We added four strategically significant hotel developments during the year, spanning multiple formats. Two were structured as highly capital-efficient variable leases, keeping our equity deployment disciplined. We partnered with an affiliate of Ingka Centres (part of the Ingka Group, which operates IKEA) to lease an upscale hotel of ~162 rooms in Sector 51, Noida — further anchoring our presence in Delhi NCR. We also signed a lease for a ~260-room hotel in Hyderabad’s financial district, one of the country’s strongest performing commercial markets. In Chennai, we are adding a Marriott-branded hotel alongside our existing Fairfield by Marriott — deepening our cluster advantage. And we have commenced construction on our largest hotel to date, in Navi Mumbai with ~700 rooms.”

Furthermore, he mentioned, “Leisure optionality: The structural tailwind in leisure and experiential travel is among the most durable growth themes in Indian hospitality. To participate, we have acquired a 70% stake in RARE India — a curated platform of 73 hotels and 1,015 rooms spanning across heritage palaces, wildlife lodges and boutique retreats. The proposed affiliation under Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy will connect this portfolio to a global distribution network. This is a high-growth segment addressed in an asset-light model — a compelling combination of brand, scale and capital efficiency. Outlook: Macro headwinds are a reality we plan for — not an exception. SAMHI enters FY2027 with a stronger balance sheet, a larger and more diversified portfolio, an institutional co-investor, and a clear roadmap. We are well positioned, and we intend to execute. Looking ahead to FY27 and beyond, we expect every incremental EBITDA to translate into free cash flows. With interest outflows expected to remain stable, future growth investments are anticipated to be increasingly self-funded, supporting a disproportionate improvement in free cash flow generation. Thank you for your continued confidence in SAMHI. We look forward to updating you on our progress.

Conçu Arrives in Mumbai After 14 Years : A Beloved Hyderabad Legacy Finds a New Home in Colaba

Mumbai, May : After 14 years of quietly shaping India’s modern café culture, Conçu, the much-loved patisserie and café from Hyderabad, makes its long-awaited debut in Mumbai. Opening its doors in Colaba, this marks a significant new chapter for a brand that has built a loyal following through its unwavering commitment to craft, consistency, and connection. What began as a small, made-to-order cake boutique in Hyderabad has grown into a multi-city presence across Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Now, with Mumbai, Conçu brings not just its signature desserts and coffee, but a distinct philosophy—the idea of a café as a space for people, not just products. At its heart, Conçu has always been about creating a modern-day town square—a place where conversations unfold easily, mornings begin gently over coffee and viennoiserie, and evenings transition into something more spirited. The Colaba space continues this rhythm, open six days a week, and on weekends, welcoming early risers with a fresh, easy breakfast menu—from eggs and pancakes to smoothie bowls and avocados made just the way you like them. An extensive coffee and beverage program anchors the experience, featuring everything from classic brews to matcha, ube, and a curated selection of teas.

As the day unfolds, the menu expands into an all-day offeringpizzas, salads, DIY pastas, and a small plates section where the kitchen truly comes into its own. At the heart of it all sits an open dessert counter, inviting guests to choose from beautifully crafted pastries alongside made-to-order cakes for every occasion. Set within the cultural fabric of South Bombay, Conçu Colaba finds its home on Pasta Lane, a neighbourhood rich in art, history, and old-world charm. Designed by Essajees Atelier, the 2,700 sq. ft. space blends colonial architectural influences with a clean, contemporary sensibility. A triple-height structure allows natural light to pour in, while exposed brick and layered seating create a sense of warmth and familiarity—a design that is thoughtful yet understated.

By day, the space is calm and sunlit, ideal for quiet coffees, working lunches, or slow catch-ups. By evening, the mood shifts—lights dim, music deepens, and the bar comes to life, creating a lively yet intimate cocktail experience.

This new chapter in Mumbai is helmed by founders Swati Upadhyay and Chef Sahil Taneja, whose shared vision has shaped Conçu into a brand rooted in care and detail. Together, they bring a deeply personal approach to hospitality, one that continues to define every Conçu experience. Mumbai, with its layered history and ever-evolving energy, feels like a natural extension of Conçu’s journey. This move is not just expansion, but a thoughtful continuation—bringing Hyderabad’s warmth into a city that understands both chaos and pause. With its arrival in Colaba, Conçu invites Mumbai to slow down, gather, and rediscover the simple pleasure of being present.
