HyLo Mumbai Launches New Menu Celebrating India’s Regional Flavours

Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda gets a fresh taste of India with HyLo’s new menu, bringing regional recipes, native ingredients and traditional cooking techniques to the contemporary dining table.

For travellers who believe that discovering a destination is as much about tasting its food as exploring its streets, Mumbai has another reason to slow down and savour. Located in the heart of Kala Ghoda, HyLo has unveiled a new menu that celebrates India’s incredible culinary diversity through hyper-local ingredients, regional recipes and traditional cooking techniques.

More than simply adding new dishes to its menu, HyLo’s latest culinary offering is an invitation to explore India through food. From the hills of the Northeast to the flavours of South India and the robust kitchens of North and Central India, each dish brings a different regional story to the table.

A Culinary Journey Across India

The new menu has been created under the guidance of Chef Swati Harsha, Head Chef at HyLo, and Chef Mrigank Singh, Culinary Director at All In Hospitality. Their approach is centred on extensive culinary research and a strong appreciation for India’s regional food traditions.

A key part of HyLo’s philosophy is its focus on GI-tagged ingredients and native produce, allowing diners to discover not only what they are eating but also where those ingredients and flavours come from.

Traditional Indian cooking methods remain at the heart of the experience. Techniques such as Sigri or open-fire cooking, Tawa cooking, Dum slow cooking and Patthar stone cooking bring depth and character to the dishes while keeping their regional identity intact.

The result is a menu that feels contemporary without losing touch with the traditions that inspired it.

Start with Regional Flavours and Coastal Favourites

The meal begins with a selection designed to appeal to different tastes. Guests can opt for the comforting Kalimpong-Style Thukpa, a warming noodle soup inspired by the culinary traditions of the Himalayan region, or choose from lighter options such as the Barnyard Millet Salad and Chickpea & Baby Spinach Salad.

Seafood lovers are equally well catered for. The new menu features Thecha Prawns, Bombil Rawa Fry, Paplet Fry and Crispy Calamari, bringing the flavours of India’s coastal food culture to Kala Ghoda.

For those looking for something a little more playful, HyLo Baigun Bhaja, Chicken Wings and the Farmer’s Taco add variety to the menu while continuing the restaurant’s focus on Indian ingredients and regional flavours.

Mains That Travel Across India

The main course is where HyLo’s pan-Indian approach really comes alive.

The Balochi Chicken Kadhai brings bold and robust flavours, while the aromatic Bhopali Chicken Rezala offers a more delicate take on rich regional cooking. Those craving something fiery can turn to Chicken Chettinad, known for its distinctive South Indian spice profile.

The menu also features Pandi Curry, a celebrated pork preparation, alongside the comforting Heirloom Tuar Dal and the indulgent Crispy Naga Pork Belly.

HyLo also revisits some much-loved Indian classics. Paharganj Chhole Bhature, Kakori Kebab, Qeema Naan, Bheja Pao, Sanpiau and Shadi Wala Methi Matar showcase the remarkable range of India’s regional cuisines.

Rather than simply recreating familiar dishes, HyLo presents them with a contemporary touch while attempting to preserve the flavours and techniques that make them culturally significant.

Desserts with a Touch of Nostalgia

The culinary journey ends with two desserts that bring together familiarity and innovation.

The Filter Coffee Tiramisu combines the rich, roasted character of South Indian filter coffee with the creamy elegance of the classic Italian dessert. It is a playful meeting point between two very different culinary traditions.

The Wattalappam, meanwhile, celebrates the beloved coconut and jaggery pudding associated with Sri Lankan and South Indian food traditions. Silky and comforting, it offers a fitting end to a menu built around regional stories.

Keeping India’s Lesser-Known Flavours Alive

According to Chef Swati Harsha, the inspiration behind the new additions came from travels, conversations with local communities and the sheer diversity of India’s food cultures.

The idea is not simply to introduce diners to new flavours but to encourage curiosity about the stories, communities and traditions behind them. For a modern diner, that makes the meal more than just a restaurant experience—it becomes a small culinary journey across the country.

A New Reason to Explore Kala Ghoda

Set in Mumbai’s vibrant Kala Ghoda neighbourhood, HyLo continues to combine contemporary dining with regional storytelling, locally sourced ingredients and a lively beverage programme.

Its latest menu is particularly appealing to food-loving travellers and curious diners who want to move beyond the usual Indian restaurant staples. With dishes inspired by different corners of the country, HyLo offers an opportunity to discover India’s culinary heritage without leaving Mumbai.

For anyone planning a food-focused visit to Mumbai, or simply looking for a restaurant experience that goes beyond the ordinary, HyLo’s new menu makes a compelling stop in Kala Ghoda.
