Winter delicacies 
This Republic Day, JW Café at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar presents a chef-led culinary experience shaped by how India cooks in winter. Curated as a one-day Republic Day buffet, the experience draws from regional food traditions, seasonal ingredients, and slow, time-honoured cooking found in everyday Indian kitchens.

Titled India, As Cooked: A Chef’s Winter Journey Across the Republic, the experience follows a chef travelling across India in January, a time when winter vegetables are at their best and dishes are cooked slowly to allow flavours to deepen naturally. The focus remains on food shaped by climate, local ingredients, and long-standing cooking habits rather than festive reinterpretations.

The menu brings together dishes from South, West, North, East, and North-East India, featuring aromatic rice preparations, classic kebabs, slow-cooked mutton and chicken dishes, and winter vegetables that appear only briefly each year. Each region is represented through dishes that reflect how food is traditionally cooked and enjoyed during the winter months.

Complemented by live band performances, the Republic Day experience unfolds in a relaxed and welcoming setting for families, corporate guests, and community gatherings. Set within the familiar  surroundings of JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, the celebration brings people together over food that is comforting, seasonal, and reflective of how India eats in winter.
