/EHV Announces HOSA Goa
November 2022: EHV International, the company behind Indian Accent, Comorin and the recently launched Koloman in New York, is excited to announce the opening of its newest concept, HOSA in Siolim, Goa. HOSA explores the culinary diversity of South India, beyond the familiar and also features a creative and energetic bar.
Rohit Khattar, Founder Chairman EHV/Old World Hospitality says. “We have always wanted to create a slightly more approachable and contemporary interpretation of the marvelous flavours of South India. Set on the waters opposite the magnificent St. Anthony’s Church in Siolim, we hope Goa embraces our newest concept.”
The restaurant seats 100 people, including 25 in the Patio. A beautiful Art Room functions as a gallery during the day and becomes a private dining area in the evening with a pre-function area replete with its own bar counter. In Phase 2 extensive outdoor seating shall line up the promenade set on the banks of the Chapora river.
HOSA literally means ‘New’ in Kannada and it is appropriate that its Brand Chef, Suresh DC is a Bengaluru resident. A culinary institute graduate, Suresh brings with him several years of experience in restaurants in India and Thailand. For HOSA, Chef Suresh has travelled extensively over the South to curate dishes that are unique and is presenting them in a contemporary manner while retaining their authentic flavours.
The HOSA menu goes way beyond the familiar. Dosas and appams are accompaniments to dishes like the Guntur crab fry and rich ghee roasts of jackfruit or goat. Small plates like Puli Munchi Wings and Gunpowder Kid Corn pair well with tropical-inspired cocktails. Wild Mushroom Pongal and the Curry Leaf Cured Snapper are other highlights. Cocktails feature classic, tiki and modern interpretations. An extensive wine list complements the food menu further.
Varun Sharma, who leads the award-winning bar at EHV’s other restaurant, Comorin, heads the beverage program at HOSA too. Operations are spearheaded by General Manager Sudhakar Singh under the guidance of Operations Director, Nitin Mathur.
The interiors have been designed personally by Rohini Kapur, EHV's Design Director, who was keen to create a contemporary thread while maintaining the character of the old Goan bungalow. She has paired contemporary furniture with Portuguese tiles; the art of old masters with cool, avant-garde (and even whacky) art from the South. Her design is modern yet respectful of the uniquely Goan setting. Her design vision was translated beautifully and further enhanced by veteran architect and designer Ashley Mascarenhas, who specialises in restoration, redesigning and revitalisation of old Portuguese villas and has done a terrific job at Hosa.
EHV’s Director of Development Vikas Bhasin was in charge of end-to-end project development and management from site selection to construction and the launch. He takes special pride in the fact that despite the site constraints, the most sustainable practices possible have been put into this restaurant
EHV thanks the owners of Irada Home for restoring their beautiful bungalow to give 'HOSA’ a lovely abode. Irada Home is a venture by +nineone, a hospitality and real estate investment firm led by Yash Malhotra.

Tim Hortons plans to open 120 stores in India in next 3 yrs
/
The company could exceed the target as the first year is focussed on "building the foundation" with 20 new stores followed by another 50 new stores in the following 12 months, The company's India CEO, Navin Gurnaney said.
Canadian restaurant chain Tim Hortons plans to open around 120 stores in India in the next three years at an investment of up to INR 300 crore, a top company official said on Monday. The chain, which had in August opened its first outlets in India, is initially focussing on North India and will later expand to other regions.
"The commitment that I made to the board is in the first 36 months of operation, in the first three years, there'll be 120 stores (in India)," the company's India CEO Navin Gurnaney said.
The company could exceed the target as the first year is focussed on "building the foundation" with 20 new stores followed by another 50 new stores in the following 12 months, he added.
This, he said, will be followed by another 60 new stores in the third year.
All these stores will be company-owned, he said, adding the "investment per store is between INR 2 crore to INR 2.5 crore".
At present, Tim Hortons has six stores — five in Delhi-NCR and one in Chandigarh, and by December, three more stores will be opened, Gurnaney noted
"We're currently focused on the north, which is Delhi and Punjab but by early summer, late spring, we will be in Mumbai, Pune, Surat, and Ahmedabad. There will be some off-highway locations. We are actually considering a few different locations in Bangalore," the CEO said.
These will be in malls, high streets, airports, and office complexes, he added.
Bullish on the Indian market, he said, "It's the consumer spending in India. The global aspirations, the number of industries that are coming to India and adding to people's ability to spend more, the social media that makes them think differently globally, any retail brand has prima facie the possibility of success, then it depends on how well you execute".

Marriott International Introduces Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy, Responding To Growing Consumer Demand As Travelers Increasingly Blend Work And Leisure
/
New offering expected to spur development opportunities globally
India – (November 2022) – Marriott International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) today announced its expansion into apartment-style accommodations with the launch of Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy. The company is seizing upon growing consumer interest among families and friends seeking more space for stays, propelled by the blending of work and leisure travel, and desire among younger travelers for wider accommodations options.
Marriott is building upon its 26 years of experience with Marriott Executive Apartments, its serviced-apartment brand in Asia, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Latin America. With the introduction of Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy, the company expects it will enhance portfolio growth globally and bring the serviced-apartment concept to Marriott guests in the U.S. and Canada.
“Travelers planning vacations and long business trips today are seeking more choice in accommodations, and the introduction of Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy responds to those trends, while offering developers a premium product backed by our trusted name and distribution platform,” said Stephanie Linnartz, President, Marriott International. “With Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy, guests will be able to shop a wider array of accommodation options within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, growing their loyalty to the portfolio and its range of brand offerings.”
Marriott plans to introduce Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy in the upper-upscale and luxury segments, distinguished from Marriott’s existing extended-stay brands, with distinctly designed products that reflect the local neighborhood for independent travelers seeking more space and residential amenities. Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy will feature a separate living room and bedroom, full kitchen, and in-unit washer and dryer, but will be differentiated from Marriott’s existing extended-stay brands by not providing certain traditional hotel services such as food and beverage, meeting spaces, and retail. Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy is anticipated to offer developers flexibility to build new properties or convert existing properties, with a design approach similar to the company’s successful Autograph Collection and Tribute Portfolio lodging brands, which offer consumers independent, uniquely distinguished hotel experiences. Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy will be backed by Marriott’s powerful reservations engine and Marriott Bonvoy, the company’s award-winning travel program with 173 million members.
Among travel consumers and Marriott Bonvoy members, there is a growing desire for premium accommodations that provide home-like amenities as travelers combine work and leisure trips to reconnect with family and friends. According to Phocuswright research, three of the top five reasons for selecting an apartment-style rental are more room or space, access to a full kitchen and laundry, and home-like feel.1

Launch of TAB - Thoughtful American Bistronomy in association with Celebrity Chef Ajay Chopra, this 2022
/Thoughtful American Bistronomy opens in Palladium Mall, Mumbai
~ Experience American cuisine with modern-day gastronomical influences ~‘
American cuisine was typically defined by visuals of cheesy pizzas, buckets of fried chicken, hot dogs, and hamburgers. With influences from immigrants who moved to this continent, this cuisine has adapted to modern food trends and is no longer limited to fast food. Bringing these diverse flavors and evolved gastronomy to Mumbai, TAB - Thoughtful American Bistronomy opens in High Street Phoenix Mills this 2022.
Founded by Romaan Pathan, the concept of TAB helms is from the idea of introducing present-day America through its chic cuisine and melting pot of global flavors. TAB offers a thought-through, all-American modern bistro experience with gastronomical touches, hence the name - Thoughtful American Bistronomy.
Designed by architecture and design firm S+F Design, the concept of TAB takes the traditional American diner up several notches to transform it into a chic, sleek restaurant. The interiors depict a beautiful panoramic Californian landscape, with the pink and green colors being inspired by the breathtaking LA sunsets that paint the sky pink with a little tinge of Californian Greens. The texture of the walls gives a classic rustic look which is contrasted by contemporary modern furniture that gives you a sense of opulence. The space has been developed to give the diners an experience of both formal and informal concepts Overall, the space strikes a fine balance between simplicity and complexity.
The menu has been curated by renowned Celebrity Chef Ajay Chopra MD of Zion Hospitality pvt. Ltd. Offerings on the menu comprise Slayin’ Soups; Issa Green Wave (Salads); Savage Schnacks; LIT Burgonomy; (Sand)’ Wiches on Fleek; New York-style Pizzas; and live Josper Grills - a signature offering of the brand. In addition to these, one will also find a Kid's Menu and a lip-smacking variety of Desserts. True to its American roots, the meals are big, hearty, and more importantly, very delicious. Some of the signatures on the menu include Pescado Chowder; Southwest Burrata Salad; Chicken Popcorn Salad; Big Boy 20-inch Wood Fired Pizzas; Tenderloin Steak; and oven-baked Louisana Crab. Guests can also try American classics such as Southwest Barbecue Wings; Nashville Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger; and Steakhouse Buff Burger. The Pizookie - a choice of chocolate chip, honey oatmeal & orange, and white chocolate is the perfect ending to a great meal.
To compliment this gourmet goodness, the bar offers a selection of exquisite concoctions by India’s 1st Lady bartender and ace Mixologist “Shatbhi Basu” such as Raspberry & Mandarin Bramble, (an orange gin sour) ; Encantado, a medley of sweet strawberry and tangy passion spiked with tequila; and New York Pine Pepper Sour, a bourbon sour with peppered pineapple touched by red wine. In addition to these, guests will also Revisit Classic Cocktails; and a selection of Spirits and Wines. For the younger guests and teetotalers, the menu has a large selection of smoothies and shakes with a take on classics, and can be paired with food items as a combo.
“For years, American cuisine has had the misconception of being limited to burgers, fries, sandwiches, and all things fast food. While these items are native to this region, the cuisine has progressed vastly thanks to the evolving food trends and global gourmet influences. We wanted to bring this experience to Mumbai while still keeping the American roots intact, and we hope to do this with each plate and drink we bring forth at TAB.”, says Romaan Pathan, Owner, of Thoughtful American Bistronomy.
