New Delhi, June 2025: Shangri-La Eros New Delhi presents “An Affair to Ember” at Sorrento from 18th to 22nd June 2025. The exclusive pop–up introduces an inventive fusion concept that unites the elemental charm of a rustic live-fire steakhouse with the layered richness of traditional Italian cuisine. At its core lies an open parrilla grill and wood-burning oven, where smoke, glowing coals, and radiant embers reimagine ingredients into expressions of coastal traditions from Patagonia to Italy.
The menu features standout creations emblematic of this fire-led philosophy. Cedar-Roasted Burrata is paired with cherry tomato and charred leek, while the Spicy Lobster Spaghetti offers a bold mix of pomodoro lobster sauce, chili aioli, and fresh cherry tomatoes. Baked Taglioni combines prosciutto cotto with Parmigiano Reggiano, accompanied by wood-fired pizzas such as the Alla Positano with salami, pepperoncini, and spicy honey. Other highlights include Grilled Chicken with roasted mushrooms and onions, and fire-kissed or salt-baked Branzino finished with lemon, capers, and olive oil.
The antipasti selection showcases the precision of ember cooking with Smoked Caprese featuring smoked mozzarella, paprika, confit cherry tomatoes, arugula, and prune mint sauce. Scallops Cooked on Ember Coal arrive with white tomato sauce, basil, yuzu lemon, romaine hearts, fermented mustard, and egg bottarga, demonstrating the sophisticated application of coal cookery.
The Grilled Canadian Lobster stands as the centerpiece preparation, enhanced by lobster liver sauce, mustard bee pollen, wilted spinach, radish, charred fennel, and burnt lemon oil. Pan Seared Chicken features morel farce, zucchini, asparagus ash, and leek chlorophyll, showcasing how fire techniques can elevate delicate proteins. From the Scallop Cooked on Ember Coal to the Coal Charred Eggplant grilled to perfection, each dish celebrates char, craft, and coastal soul.
The experience concludes with the Rosemary Smoked Dark Chocolate Petit Gateaux, featuring 70% dark chocolate, namelaka, charred raspberry sorbet, and burnt rosemary oil. This dessert encapsulates the event’s philosophy—using smoke and fire to create unexpected depth and complexity.
Available for lunch and dinner à la carte from 18th to 22nd June 2025, “An Affair to Ember” redefines Italian dining through the primal elements of fire and smoke at Shangri-La Eros New Delhi.
