Let’s get into what everyone’s craving this week…

TheGlitz TASTE Round-Up:

The TASTE Makers

When two craft giants collide, magic happens… like Baker’s Artisanal Recipes (BAR) teaming up with Siolim Specialty Coffee Roasters for “When Chocolate Meets Coffee” on September 21, 2025.

This intimate tasting session blends single-origin Indian chocolates with specialty brews, offering a deep-dive into the art of pairing, fermentation, and flavour, all in a setting designed to engage every sense.

Meanwhile, Barbeque Nation is bringing the street to the seat with its mega Khau Galli Festival, turning iconic Indian street food into an indulgent buffet experience…

Think Dahi Bhalla, Keema Pav, Butter Chicken Tikka, and Jalebi Rabdi, served hot across select outlets in Mumbai, Pune, and Ahmedabad.

In Mumbai, Berlin Brew Beer Garden is flipping beer culture on its head with “Beer Meets Indian Spice” Fusion Pairing Nights

…Where craft brews meet Malvani Chicken and Cheese Kofta in pairings as bold as the rooftop vibe.

Over at HyLo, Kala Ghoda

It’s all about claws, crabs, and communal tables at the return of Soul Food’s Legendary Seafood Boil on September 21… a luxe, one-day-only feast where sauces are poured straight onto tables and seafood is served with bottomless wine and beer.

And finally, for whisky lovers, The Glen Grant just dropped one of the rarest single malts the world has ever seen, a 65-Year-Old expression from the Splendours Collection, aged in a single French oak butt since 1958, unveiled at an ultra-private showcase in Delhi.

With just 151 handcrafted decanters globally (each priced at $50,000), India now sits at the epicentre of luxury whisky appreciation.
