Hum: Ek Bar trades tasting menus for dry ice, gold leaf and modern Indian dishes that wow
Article content Larger servings of curries here were all worth ordering again, ranging from the relatively mild Keralan cod moilee ($39) to the zingier Goan shrimp curry ($35) to the chili-forward but complex Northern Indian nihari lamb shank ($35) to my favourite, the dark, earthy and peppery oxtail curry ($34). Article content Can't go to an Indian restaurant without ordering butter chicken? Ek Bar's bells-and-whistles rendition ($29) might top your fave. Its white meat is atypically moist and definitely seasoned due to brining, while time in the tandoor adds a touch of smokiness to the chicken. The sauce is fresh, rich and full-on. Article content Designated 'chef Sarath's Hyderabadi biryani' on the menu, chicken biryani ($32) at Ek Bar is a carryover from Mohan's previous Ottawa restaurants, Vivaan and NH 44. Fans of the 35-year-old self-taught chef will be glad, as will fans of fluffy, delicious rice and vibrantly spiced chicken. Article content Article content Two desserts (each $18) by young pastry chef Diksha Verma made for strong finishes to our meals. Shahi tukda was almost tiramisu-like, with a rose- and cardamom syrup-soaked caramelized saffron brioche, vanilla-condensed milk crème and a pistachio crumble among its attractions. Entirely different, novel and beguiling was a plate of rose ice cream, powdered fennel seed sponge cake, and chocolate mousse flavoured by perfume-y betel leaf, with cherries, syrup and a white chocolate crumble to add some unifying sweetness. Article content Cocktails here, made by servers, were well-concocted, smooth and sophisticated. They, and beer, would be better picks than more perfunctory wine choices. Article content Article content Service was a little uneven. One server, while friendly and attentive, seemed a little undertrained, and our leftover biryani, which she'd packed, didn't make it back to us before we left. A different server did a better, more polished job. Article content Article content Ultimately, Ek Bar managed to erase my bias in favour of Kathā. I like them both a lot, but for their respective great dishes and aspirations. Article content Comparison aside, Ek Bar makes some excellent, distinguished food out of the gate and it has tremendous potential to be better still. Together, Bhagwani and Mohan could reach the culinary highs and prominence that Mohan couldn't on his own, and restaurant-lovers in Ottawa and beyond should take note.

Couple, 2-Year-Old Daughter Die In Kedarnath Chopper Crash, Son Survives After Staying Behind
Last Updated: The couple's son, Vivaan, survived the tragedy as he had stayed back with his grandfather in Pandharkawda and did not accompany the family on the trip. A family from Maharashtra's Yavatmal died after a helicopter returning from Kedarnath crashed in Uttarakhand's Rudraprayag district on Sunday. The helicopter was en route to Guptkashi. The couple and their two-year-old daughter from the Jaiswal community in Wani have been identified as Rajkumar Jaiswal, Shraddha Jaiswal, and Kashi Rajkumar Jaiswal. The couple's son, Vivaan, survived the tragedy as he had stayed back with his grandfather in Pandharkawda and did not accompany the family on the trip. Meanwhile, Captain Rajveer Singh Chauhan, the pilot who died in the incident, was the father of twins born just two months ago, officials said. A resident of Shastri Nagar in Jaipur, Chauhan had served in the Indian Army for over 15 years and had vast experience of flying missions over different terrains. Kedarnath Chopper Crash Uttarakhand witnessed at least six helicopter crashes on the Char Dham route within a span of nearly 40 days. This includes the Sunday chopper crash killed seven people. Seven people, five adults, one infant, and one pilot died in the incident when the chopper took off from Guptkashi at 05:10 am and landed at Shri Kedarnath Ji helipad at 05:18 am. The helicopter took off again at 5:19 am for Guptkanshi and crashed near Gaurikund. The helicopter, with six pilgrims (five adults and a child) and a pilot, died in the incident when the chopper took off from Guptkashi at 05:10 am and landed at Shri Kedarnath Ji helipad at 05:18 am. The helicopter took off again at 5:19 am when it crashed in a forest between Gaurikund and Sonprayag. The pilgrims killed during the 10-minute ride were from Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat. The visuals showed the wreckage of the helicopter in flames in an open field. The crash occurred between Gaurikund and Triyuginarayan while returning from the shrine. According to officials, the chopper belonged to Aryan Aviation. The officials believe bad weather may be the cause of the tragic incident. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed anguish over the chopper crash and said that the SDRF and other rescue teams have been put to the rescue operation. 'Very sad news has been received about a helicopter crash in Rudraprayag district. SDRF, local administration and other rescue teams are engaged in relief and rescue operations. I pray to Baba Kedar for the safety of all the travellers," he posted on X. In the wake of the crash, Dhami has issued strict instructions for helicopter operations in the state. The chief minister said a strict SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) should be prepared for the operation of heli services in the state, in which a complete check of the technical condition of the helicopter should be made mandatory. Weather status should also be checked before heli operations. The chief secretary has been directed to constitute a committee of technical experts, which will prepare the SOP after thoroughly reviewing all technical and safety aspects of heli operations. The incident comes days after tragic Air India flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad after it took off for London. 241 people, including the cabin crew, died in the crash on June 12. There was merely one survivor in the incident, a British national. First Published: June 15, 2025, 12:50 IST
