Talking about the menu, Rahul Shrivastava, Executive Chef at Hyatt Centric Juhu, said, “The menu for Nitara is a celebratory map of India on a plate. It was born out of a desire to elevate our diverse heritage cuisine. We are taking simple, nostalgic food and applying fine-dining artistry, allowing guests to experience the contrast. Every dish on this menu is an attempt to evoke cultural pride and connect to our deep culinary roots while delivering a sophisticated experience.”

The dining experience unfolds against a beautifully curated backdrop, striking a balance between timeless elegance and festive charm. At the heart of it all, the Bar Area exudes understated luxury, with gleaming brass finishes, and soft, golden lighting that wraps the space in a sense of classic warmth.

Reflecting on the new launch, Xenia Jamshyd Lam, General Manager at Hyatt Centric Juhu, said, "We are thrilled to launch Nitara, which perfectly captures the Hyatt Centric spirit of local exploration.
