The menu reinvents comfort, think chaat, kebabs, and hearty mains while the cocktail list draws from Indian botanicals. By day, it’s a calm café; by night, a retro-chic bar rooted in Indian design minimalism.

Co-founder Insight: “Zariya honours our legacy while inviting a new generation to rediscover Indian food,” says Ujval Ahuja.

Naarma – Where Fire Meets Stillness

With a “less is more” bar curated by global mixology duo Heena & Pablo, Naarma spans three stunning spaces — Groove (outdoor lounge), NAAR (live kitchen with teppanyaki), and The Den (private dining).

Founder Akshay Anand says: “Luxury should be democratic. Naarma makes it immersive, not inaccessible.”
