Crowne Plaza Greater Noida Launches THE BUTCHER SHOP

Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad has introduced a new dining venue, Bella Aroma, offering guests a culinary journey through the diverse flavors of the Mediterranean. The restaurant and lounge feature a menu inspired by the traditional cuisines of Italy, Greece, Spain, France, Turkey, and Morocco, blending authentic tastes with contemporary culinary techniques.

The concept for Bella Aroma was born from a collaboration between Chef Marco, a specialist in Mediterranean cuisine, and the in-house culinary team at Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad. Their shared enthusiasm for Mediterranean flavors led to the exchange and refinement of authentic recipes, which now form the core of Bella Aroma's offerings. The restaurant aims to bring the essence of Mediterranean dining to Ahmedabad, reflecting the rich culinary heritage of the region.

Suraj Kumar Jha, General Manager of Crowne Plaza Ahmedabad said, “Bella Aroma is not just a place to eat; it’s an experience that celebrates Mediterranean culture and its vibrant culinary traditions. We wanted to create a space where guests can enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean while experiencing the hospitality that the region is known for. Whether it’s a family dinner, a get-together with friends, or a business lunch, Bella Aroma is designed to be a welcoming spot for all.”

The menu at Bella Aroma features a curated selection of Mediterranean dishes, including handmade Italian pasta, wood-fired pizzas, Syrian Tabbouleh with Quinoa, Moroccan Lamb Harira, Lebanese Fatayer, and traditional Baklava. The offerings highlight the diverse culinary traditions of the Mediterranean, with seasonal and promotional menus that introduce fresh ingredients and regional specialties, ensuring a dynamic dining experience.

Executive Chef Daksh Sirwani shared, “Bella Aroma is a realization of our passion for Mediterranean food. We’ve focused on recreating the authentic flavors of the region using the best ingredients and traditional cooking methods. Each dish on our menu is a reflection of the rich culinary history that has been passed down through generations, and we look forward to sharing these stories with our guests.”

Bella Aroma's ambiance is designed to capture the charm of the Mediterranean with its bright lighting, semi-formal seating, and relaxed lounge-like atmosphere. The restaurant offers a versatile setting suitable for various occasions, complemented by interactive service that enhances the overall dining experience.
