To honour the spirit of Sharad Purnima, Ishaara, an Indian restaurant in the city has collaborated with home chef and food content creator, Chef Amrita Kaur to craft a delectable 5-course menu that pays homage to the season's bounty.
In line with their efforts to shine a spotlight on India’s many regional celebrations, this association will see a special two-day pop-up menu being introduced on the auspicious occasion of Sharad Purnima. The pop-up is set to take place on October 27 and 28, 2023, at Ishaara, Palladium Phoenix from 12 pm to 3.30 pm.
The menu promises a myriad of dishes, which interestingly start with a dessert. Named ‘Ek Tukda Chand Ka’, the dessert will be served as the first dish.
