Hilton India Launches a New Sustainable Dining Experience - Aayush

India, February TBC, 2022 – Hilton India launches a brand-new additional menu – Aayush, a  sustainable health-focused vegetarian menu that brings back traditional Indian recipes rich in  nutrients, low in calories and with natural healing properties. It will be available in all  properties across India, curated by the culinary team in Hilton. Aayush is a concept that puts  flavour and health together on the table, keeping in mind the rising desire of consumers for  healthy food options and mindful eating choices. 

As more and more consumers are exploring sustainable food choices, it is important to offer  a sustainability based menu across all dining options. Aayush is a mindful creation that  focuses at offering a healthier option, aimed at rejuvenating, purifying, and restoring inner  strength of the body. 

, "We at Hilton are amongst the pioneers in India to bring wholesome and mindful food options  alongside our regular menu. It is part of our continuous endeavour to support the growing  appetite for sustainable dining. In the past, our association with Wakao foods was welcomed  by our guests for its innovation, sustainability, and deliciousness. Now with Aayush, we want  to expand and cater to our conscious consumers with a satisfying meal, making dining out at  any Hilton brand across the country a friendly and reliable experience.” 

Mr. Prashant Kulkarni, Director F&B, India-Hilton

"Aayush is a contemporary celebration of our ancient Indian food combinations and flavours  that perfectly blends with the shift towards plant-based alternatives, vegetarianism, and  vegan diets enduring to be dominant trends in 2022. The menu includes immunity-boosting  dishes like "Moringa Saaru," a drumstick soup from Southern India that is full of potassium,  vitamin C, and other essential nutrients.” 

This one-of-a-kind menu is Hilton’s venture into re-popularizing ancient Indian ingredients  and superfoods through an array of starters, main courses, and desserts—guests can savour  dishes like Tulsi aur Jau ka Shorba, Kapalanga Thoran, Kathal Sukka, Malabar Nadaan Curry,  Vegan Quinoa Kheer, and Turmeric Latte, among others. 

According to Ayurveda, food has a great influence over one’s overall wellbeing, with people  across the globe switching to Indian alternatives for foods and superfoods. The Aayush menu  is a step towards encouraging people to adapt to a lifestyle change with healthy and clean  eating and processes that are connected to the roots of ancient India.
