7. Shangri-La Bengaluru Presents Rooted in Nature Hi-Chai

To commemorate Republic Day, Shangri-La Bengaluru along with Go Native and Evolved launches a plant-based Indian afternoon tea that will be available at the Lobby Lounge from 26 January until 30 April 2023.

The brand’s global culinary programme Rooted in Nature highlights locally and ethically-sourced food offerings. It enables all Shangri-La hotels and resorts to incorporate sustainable items from unique local markets into the menu, ensuring authentic flavour with every bite. Diners can identify Rooted in Nature menu items by spotting the pea shoot logo beside the dish description.

Founded in 2017, Go Native is a conscious store and a farm-to-table restaurant chain in Bengaluru. From material to method and production-to-packaging, Go Native takes responsibility to ensure every step of the journey is gentle on the planet. Evolved Foods is an award-winning Bangalore-based plant-based protein brand that is on a mission to make everyday meals delicious, nutritious and protein-rich.

The super chefs at Shangri-La and Go Native have curated a special locally-inspired vegetarian afternoon tea with regional ingredients, plant meat and desi drinks. This special Hi-Chai is reminiscent of the bygone tradition of Chai Nashta evenings at home, where families assembled every evening to have tea, coffee and snacks.

Hi-Chai features delicacies like Millet Kaju Pakoda with Tomato Thokku, Quinoa Kerai Vada with Chutney, Aloo Patta Sprout Chaatlets, Ghee Roast Plant Meat Samosa and Plant Protein Masala Puffs.

To top it off, diners can enjoy Mysore Pak Cheesecake, Thinnai Halwa Tarts, Sugiyan and Coorg Coffee Mousse on Choux. Pair it with limitless cups of Masala Chai, Filter Kaapi & Sulaimani Chai and enjoy a choice of thirst quenchers such as Masala Shikanji, Iced Filter Coffee or Kokum Cooler.

Rooted in Nature Hi-Chai is available until 30 April 2023 at the Lobby Lounge at Shangri-La Bengaluru and is priced at INR 1250 plus taxes.
