The culinary team, drawing inspiration from the essence of fermentation, incorporates handcrafted pickles and kombuchas, adding layers of complexity to the dishes.

The upper level houses a cocktail room featuring an open circular island bar. Here, guests can enjoy craft cocktails made with regional Indian ingredients, set against softly textured hues, marble, stone, wood, and terracotta.

Sarah Jane’s Path to Fitness

Sarah Jane Dias is a multi-talented artist and a dedicated fitness enthusiast. She has excelled in various forms of entertainment, from her early success in beauty pageants to becoming a highly respected VJ, a melodious singer, and a skilled actress in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu films. Her recent standout performance in ‘Made in Heaven Season 2’ and her captivating podcast, ‘The Sarah Jane Show,’ have cemented her reputation as a versatile and celebrated figure in the entertainment world. While she has amassed an impressive body of work in films and earned numerous accolades, it was her roles in ‘Made in Heaven’ and ‘Tandav’ that catapulted her into the limelight, promising a bright future filled with further accomplishments in the captivating realm of entertainment and her unwavering commitment to a fitness-oriented lifestyle. I believe that every individual has the potential to achieve their fitness goals and attain their ‘beach body.’ It’s essential to prioritize both physical and mental well-being and draw motivation from a positive place. Consistency plays a pivotal role; often, people delay their fitness plans, saying they’ll start ‘next Monday,’ only to repeat the cycle. To stay on track, I recommend setting clear goals and committing to them. Whether it’s joining a gym or planning to take only a few days off in a year, cultivating a habit of consistent, healthy practices is key to achieving long-lasting results. My approach to fitness doesn’t adhere to a set routine. I believe that physical well-being encompasses more than just exercises; it’s about understanding your body’s needs. My fitness regimen encompasses a holistic approach, including meditation, and yoga, focusing on flexibility and mobility, and maintaining a balanced diet. I make sure to eat what I enjoy in moderation and supplement wisely, choosing supplements tailored to my body’s requirements. It’s important to keep
