Dubai, UAE — This festive season, INDIKAYA invites guests to gather around the table for a Christmas dining experience shaped by warmth, intention, and refined Indian flavours. Located at Shangri-La Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road, the contemporary Indian restaurant presents a thoughtfully curated Christmas menu that reflects tradition, balance, and quiet celebration.
Recognized in the MICHELIN Guide 2025, INDIKAYA approaches festive dining with restraint and cultural depth. The Christmas menu is designed as a composed tasting journey — one that honours seasonal ingredients while remaining rooted in the culinary heritage of India.
“Festive dining is about slowing down and sharing moments,” said Chef Hemant Oberoi, Indikaya. “For Christmas, our chefs have curated a menu that feels familiar yet considered — respectful of tradition, shaped with care, and meant to be enjoyed together.”
Available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian formats, the Christmas menu unfolds as a progression of flavours rather than an elaborate display. The experience opens with refined interpretations of classic chaat, including Amritsari Chowk ki Tikki Chaat and Quinoa Avocado Chaat, offering a gentle introduction to the courses ahead.
From there, the menu moves into tandoor and grill selections that reflect regional influences and precise technique. Vegetarian dishes include Pothari Paneer Tikka and Till Methi Broccoli Kebab, followed by composed main courses such as Paneer Bemisal and Subzi Nizami Handi. The non-vegetarian selection features dishes including Nawabi Chicken Tikka, Fish Farcha, and Bhatti Prawns, alongside a seasonal Ghee Roast Turkey — a subtle nod to Christmas traditions, interpreted through an Indian lens.
Slow-cooked rice preparations form a natural continuation of the experience, with Subz Dum Biryani and Chicken Dum Biryani, accompanied by traditional condiments and breads, each prepared with quiet precision.
The meal concludes with a restrained selection of festive desserts. Kunafa Kalakand, Chikki Phirni, and Rose Petal Ice Cream offer a composed finale — familiar flavours presented with balance and simplicity.
With its understated ambience and culturally rooted approach, INDIKAYA provides an elegant setting for intimate Christmas celebrations, family gatherings, and festive evenings in the heart of Dubai. The Christmas menu is available for a limited time during the festive period.
