A pint-sized chef is serving the most Instagrammable dinner experience in Delhi
What if your dinner table could double as a stage, your plate as a screen, and your next meal as the lead act in a miniature chef's culinary odyssey?At Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, dining isn't just about food any just in case you thought the brand is venturing into something other than the dining experience, a small correction. The new addition (been close to three years) to the chapters of Shangri-La Delhi brings together theatrics and taste on a plate, and it tingles more than your At a time when experiential dining is making waves in the alcohol-beverage industry, watching a tiny chef leap across your table, dodge fiery woks, and whisk up a five-course masterpiece while you sit back in a chef's hat, giggling like a kid, that's one experience that you will be coming to Shangri-La for again and again. Le Petit Chef's third chapter, 'Become the World's Greatest Chef' is an immersive global dining experience that's as much theatre as it is a tasting menu.'We wanted to offer more than a meal, we wanted to tell a story that unfolds on your plate,' says Chef Gagandeep Singh Sawhney, executive chef and Culinary Centre of Excellence Cuisine specialist, MEIA Region, at Shangri-La Group.'Each course is a chapter in a journey where the diner evolves from a curious novice to a master chef.'First created in May 2015 by Skullmapping, a Belgian artistic collective founded by Filip Sterckx and Antoon Verbeeck, Le Petit Chef uses 3D projection mapping to bring a six-centimetre-tall animated chef to life on your plate, literally. Le Petit Chef's third chapter, 'Become the World's Greatest Chef' is an immersive global dining experience. The latest edition of Le Petit was launched on May 9, food meets theatricsThe menu plays along with the storyline. Think of it as a global top chef meets show kicks off with whimsical dishes like the Candy Tomato and Burrata Tart - light, artful, and full of flair - followed by mains such as Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli or Chicken Roulade, depending on your preference, each layered with richness and depth. The dishes are part of the 5-course meal served during the experience. As the animated chef ups his game, so does the grand finale is a DIY dessert experience, where guests are given piping bags and ingredients to complete their own dish, mimicking the chef's final test. 'The dessert session is not just interactive, it's symbolic,' Chef Gagandeep says. 'It marks the moment the diner becomes the chef.' The DIY dessert. In a room dimmed to perfection, projectors turn each table into a canvas, plates light up, the centrepiece is changed to suit each narrative, and guests giggle as the tiny chef flips, dances, and occasionally sets your table on (animated) fire.A global phenomenon with local soulWith its roots in Belgium and presence in over 100 countries, you might expect Le Petit Chef to follow a strict script, but that's not the case. 'We maintain the global story arc, but the menu adapts,' Chef Gagandeep explains.'For India, we've created vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus, which is a deliberate nod to our cultural diversity.'Behind the scenes, it's nothing short of a culinary orchestra. Skullmapping provides the blueprint, an animated storyline and a visual framework. Then, it's up to the chefs, service team, and tech crew to sync every detail. 'It's a showcase of precision,' says the chef. 'We train extensively to make sure the storytelling, plating, and service unfold in harmony.'A visitor's takeadvertisementDelhi might not have a dearth when it comes to experiential dining, but this one beats most. Why? Well, it's the theatrics for starters. The experience, which lasts for close to two hours, keeps you invested, children and adults alike.

A celebration of stillness and self-discovery through yoga
Celebrating Yoga for One Earth, One Health On the morning of 21 June 2025, as the world paused to honour the 11th International Yoga Day , Shangri-La Eros New Delhi invited guests to gather on The Lawns of its Wellness Club for an enveloping sunrise experience, one that aligns breath, body, and being in a powerful celebration of stillness and self-discovery. Guided by prominent yoga therapist Abhishek Paul, this year's celebration reflected the global theme, Yoga for One Earth, One Health, not just in name but in practice. It is a reminder, drawn from both ancient wisdom and modern understanding that individual consciousness is deeply intertwined with the collective energy of all living beings. Just as the planet heals when we live mindfully, so too do we begin to heal when we attune ourselves to something deeper than our senses can grasp. The morning harboured Experience Expansion, a specially designed five-step journey that commenced at 7:00 a.m. It evolves gently: first by energizing the body, then balancing the breath, followed by relaxing the body to release tension and still the mind. In the ensuing moments, guests are guided into a space of focusing and defocusing the mind, cultivating a delicate dance between awareness and surrender. Ultimately, the session opens into prana expansion and the superconscious experience, an awakening to the vast, unbound energy that connects us all. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo As the sun rose higher, the group came together for an intimate discussion led by Paul, titled Breath – The Bridge Between Mind and the Body. In this reflective conversation, he shared insights into the power of the breath: how most of us breathe unconsciously, how that affects both body and mind and how breathing, when trained and understood, becomes the deepest tool for inner alignment and emotional clarity. Paul, who holds a Master's in Yoga Therapy from SVYASA Bangalore, brings with him years of experience in yogic healing, pranayama, and meditative practices. Having guided over 400 individuals through transformative journeys, his work is rooted in both precision and presence, an intuitive, guest-centric approach that welcomes practitioners of all levels. To conclude the experience, guests were offered thoughtfully crafted wellness bites, curated with the intention to nourish and revive in keeping with the brand's continued commitment to holistic luxury.
