The aroma of roasted spices, sizzling chaats, and freshly prepared tandoori appetisers fills NYC Restaurant as chefs work behind live counters, plating regional delicacies in front of guests. Brass servingware, colourful market-inspired accents, and regional music create an atmosphere closer to a bustling street-food lane than a hotel brunch.
At Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport, Sundays this season are being turned into a culinary journey with ‘Flavours of India’, a curated brunch series celebrating India’s diverse street-food traditions. Spread across four Sundays — May 17, 24, 31, and June 7 — the experience takes diners through the flavours of North, South, West, and East India, with each edition focused on a distinct regional cuisine.
The concept blends the nostalgia of street food with the sophistication of fine dining, bringing together live cooking stations, regional beverages, and traditional recipes in an immersive format.
Unlike a standard buffet, the brunch unfolds like a food trail, with guests moving between interactive counters where chefs prepare dishes fresh to order. Smoky kebabs, tandoori snacks, and chaats sit alongside regional specialities from across the country.
The décor and ambience also shift with each regional theme, reflecting the culinary identity of every edition.
“With ‘Flavours of India’, we wanted to bring the authenticity and emotional connect of Indian street food into a more elevated dining experience,” said Chef Gurneet Grover. “Street food is linked to memories, travel, childhood experiences, and regional identity.”
Live counters
Chefs focus on less commonly featured preparations, live interaction, and customisation, allowing guests to engage directly with the cooking process. Regional beverages have been curated to complement the food and enhance authenticity.
“We wanted every counter to feel alive and interactive, similar to Indian food streets,” Chef Gurneet said. “We tried to recreate that warmth, aroma, and energy.”
The experience also emphasises storytelling, with each Sunday highlighting a different region’s culinary heritage.
“Food has the ability to transport people instantly to places and memories,” Chef Gurneet said. “We wanted guests to feel familiarity and discovery at the same time.”
‘Flavours of India’ is being hosted every Sunday at NYC Restaurant, Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport.
