LETTER from the Editor

Travel + Leisure India & South Asia

KITCHEN CHRONICLES • This year, move over dalgona coffee and banana bread, and try your hand at immunity-boosting dishes. Eat, pray, and take care of yourself so that you can travel again when the time is right.

20 UNIQUE INDIAN RESTAURANTS YOU MUST TRY • These restaurants around the country serve a wide variety of delicious dishes, from healthy plates and artisanal food to DIY kits and meals-in-a-box. Bookmark them for future visits or order a home delivery to brighten up your lockdown days.

Sea of Dreams • When the world opens up again, fly to Conrad Maldives Rangali Island for a magical holiday.

AHEAD OF THE GAME • As the country battles a second wave of the pandemic, ITC Hotels has received Platinum level certification for its WeAssure hygiene protocol.

WITH LOVE, FROM SRI LANKA • There’s a lot that we love about our neighbouring island country. VEIDEHI GITE tucks into its rich treasure trove of gastronomic delights, and discovers shared ingredients and unique recipes.

KITCHEN WARHORSE • From the stand-alone Under The Over, to Indigo, his flagship restaurant in Colaba in the late 1990s, to the two-year-old Qualia in Lower Parel, chef and restaurateur Rahul Akerkar has spent over two decades in the restaurant business. He talks to ADILA MATRA about his fond memories, current challenges, and comfort food.

INDIAN FLAVOURS WITH NYC TADKA • After a year dominated by bad news for the F&B industry, the launch of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s NYC restaurant came as a refreshing spring breeze this March. What went into setting up SONA? Executive chef and culinary director Hari Nayak sat down for a chat with AINDRILA MITRA.

THE NO-FRILLS CHEF • Kashmir-born Prateek Sadhu is the co-founder and executive chef of the five-year-old award-winning restaurant Masque in Mumbai. The 35-year-old visionary talks to ADILA MATRA about stumbling upon elusive Indian ingredients, his love for yakhni, and prioritising his employees in the wake of the pandemic.

DIM SUM DREAMS • For Chef Andrew Wong, this year began with a second Michelin star for his restaurant A. Wong in London. We caught up with the chef when he visited his India outpost in March 2021.

THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS • Last year, a young New Delhi bar grabbed headlines when it ranked 40th in Asia’s 50 Best Bars. This year, Sidecar has outdone itself and scored an unprecedented No. 16 spot. It has also been named the Best Bar in India. SUMEET KESWANI speaks to the founders to find out how they turned the tide in a devastating year for the industry.

A Matter of Sustenance • The restaurant industry has employed a host of coping mechanisms in the face of the pandemic’s relentless assault. How effective is the delivery model and why should you order directly from restaurants? RIAAN JACOB GEORGE scouts for answers.

THE SUITE LIFE • Had it not been for a chance trip to Goa in 1993, UK-based John Spence might not have become the proud founder and owner of the Karma Group. With loads of experience and over 30 international properties under his belt, he shares his journey with RASHIMA NAGPAL.

Comfort First • As you stay home and plan your future holidays, dress easy and feel snug with these basic style items.
