• Chef Hemant Oberoi relaunches Indikaya with iconic Indian flavors
  • Each dish is a story rooted in India’s culinary heritage
  • Menu blends traditional recipes with global ingredients and modern flair
  • Chocolate Shawarma and Hathodi Chaat steal the spotlight, literally

Dubai’s dining scene just got a glow-up, and this one’s got five decades of firepower behind it. Indikaya has officially relaunched, and it didn’t just hire a chef—it summoned a culinary legend. Chef Hemant Oberoi (yes, the Hemant Oberoi who’s fed presidents, royals, and billionaires like it’s just another Tuesday) is now at the helm, ready to whisk diners through a deliciously dramatic Indian food renaissance.

Think of Indikaya’s comeback like a Bollywood reboot done right: iconic, grand, and reimagined with global flair. The menu? A literal edible anthology of India—each dish dripping with history, elevated by technique, and plated like edible art. This isn’t your average butter chicken beat drop. We’re talking Atta Chicken baked in a wheat dough like it’s getting its own Netflix origin story. Or the Hathodi Chaat, which comes with its own hammer—because subtlety is so last season.

Chef Oberoi is doing what few dare to do: taking traditional recipes and remixing them with ingredients that speak passport fluently. It’s India on a world tour—with more drama, elegance, and depth than an entire season of Made in Heaven. From the earthy Morel of the Story to the dessert mic drop that is Chocolate Shawarma (yes, prepared tableside with a swirl of sass and sabayon), every plate at Indikaya is a story waiting to be told—and devoured.

Oh, and it’s not just the food that slaps. The vibe is as elevated as the cuisine. Contemporary, classy, but never stuffy—like if Vogue hosted a dinner party with your grandma’s spice rack.

Indikaya isn’t just relaunching a restaurant; it’s reigniting India’s soul in the heart of Dubai. So if you’re craving a meal that whispers nostalgia but screams modern luxury, this is your table. Just one bite, and you’ll know—this isn’t just dinner. It’s history, plated.

Ready to taste the legacy? You know where to go.
