Shangri-La Eros New Delhi Hosts Indonesian Culinary Celebration at Tamra

• An Exclusive Ten-Day Dining Experience Curated by Renowned Indonesian Guest Chefs

(New Delhi, August 2025) For 10 glorious days, from 22 to 31 August 2025, the air at Tamra, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi’s award-winning world cuisine restaurant, will come alive with the sizzle of woks, the perfume of lemongrass, and the golden hue of turmeric drifting from open flames. This limited-time Indonesian Culinary Celebration will transport guests to the archipelago, as celebrated guest chefs Aris Diono and Anwar serve a menu that honours tradition while embracing the artistry and refinement for which Shangri-La is known.

The two guest chefs will lead this limited-time experience, each bringing deep-rooted expertise and a passion for preserving the integrity of Indonesia’s regional recipes. Chef Aris Diono, with Dutch, Javanese, and Chinese roots, is celebrated for his farm-to-table philosophy and soulful, sharing-style cuisine; having honed his craft in Dubai and Doha’s prestigious kitchens, he blends seasonal, locally sourced ingredients with live-fire techniques to present vibrant dishes that honour Indonesian flavours with modern flair. Chef Anwar, born in West Java, brings mastery of Balinese, Padang, and Sundanese specialities; rising from apprentice to Indonesian speciality chef, he has refined his craft in acclaimed kitchens while championing sustainable practices, creating cuisine that balances authenticity with innovation and carries Indonesia’s culinary heritage to the world.

The menu curated by them will offer a rotating selection of signature dishes, allowing guests to savour something new with every visit. In Menu Series One, highlights include Asinan Sayur Jakarta, a tangy vegetable salad with bean curd and fried peanuts; Lawar Tuna, a Balinese salad with long beans and coconut sambal; the legendary tropical fruit slaw Rujak Serut; Satay Lilit, lemongrass-infused grilled fish cake satay; and Gado-Gado Jakarta, an elaborate spread of steamed vegetables, tempe, and peanut sauce. The Pindang Seafood Serani brings a vibrant turmeric-sour broth to prawns, mussels, and calamari, while the Sop Buntut oxtail soup embodies Indonesian comfort. From the main course selection, diners can indulge in Rendang Sapi, slow-braised beef in Minang curry, Gulai Ayam chicken stew, Nasi Uduk coconut steamed rice, and the fragrant Nasi Padang platter.
