“What if we styled a grazing table, almost like a deconstructed version of it?”
Inspiration doesn’t just arrive to the host unless she’s truly seeking it. It all started when Meher (@mehersradesigns ) visited our Gurgaon flagship—one look at our hero table displays and she immediately knew what she wanted to do with it.
Placing five tables of different heights and materials, she tied the setting together with floral displays, innovative servings, warm candlelight and food by the wonderful @caarafood .
A host always knows how to make her vision come true.
The newest generation of hosts are doing things differently. Home of the Hostess is our new series where we discover the tricks up their sleeve. Link in bio.
An evening at Hindustan Park, Kolkata, made up of all the right ingredients— tapas, wine, and good conversation.
Good Earth and CAARA hosted an intimate masterclass with Chef Sunil Kumar and Designer Rocio Perez, where guests discovered gourmet Spanish recipes, plating techniques, and the Moorish design and making behind Al-Andalus — our newest stoneware range, inspired by the gardens of Granada.
As summer unfolds, we’ve curated a menu celebrating the season’s freshest treasures and global culinary traditions. Our vibrant mango, avocado & fennel salad features perfectly ripe mangoes from Andhra’s sun-drenched orchards.
Traveling to the Swiss Alps, we present Malakoff, a beloved classic reinvented with local artisanal cheeses.
For something special, our wild tomato goat cheese & rocket flammkuchen features a super-thin, hand-stretched German inspired bread base topped with garden-fresh ingredients.
The stone-grilled lamb & emmental brioche burger offers a perfect balance of textures, with succulent lamb and melted cheese on a buttery brioche bun.
Dessert celebrates mango’s versatility in samplers and the warm, gooey skillet cookie which is just pure decadance.
For drinks, nothing beats a classic mango smoothie when we are celebrating this super star of a fruit and the best thing about an Indian summer!

Three women. Three journeys. One table.
Over tea, they spoke freely about beginnings, risks, doubts, and everything it takes to build something of your own. From luxury fashion, full-leaf teas, handcrafted in small batches, pantry essentials, homeware, food experiences, art, interior design- they’ve shaped more than one space, across many industries.
Over a perfectly brewed @threecliveroad blend, with delicate CAARA canapés served on @rezonsilverware , it all felt easy- like a conversation that simply found its rhythm.
Some collaborations require effort. Others feel instinctive. This was the latter.
A coming together that felt easy, aligned, and deeply rewarding, because when there is mutual respect for each other’s journeys, partnership becomes something more. It becomes meaningful.
So here’s to the next 10— @rezonsilverware x @threecliveroad x @caarafood

We’ve been working quietly for a while now, putting together a space we truly care about.
You might have seen the construction in progress, but behind that, there’s been a lot of planning, tasting, and small decisions that shape the experience we’re building for you.
It’s been exciting to watch things slowly come together, from exploring ingredients and local produce to shaping a menu that feels thoughtful and honest. Nothing here has been rushed. Every element, from the coffee we serve to the way natural light moves through the room, has been considered with care.
We’re nearly there now, and we can’t wait to reveal where we are opening next! Any guesses?

Ogaan launched its fine jewellery collection on March 11th, and CAARA had the privilege to work together with @ogaanjewellery & @inordinary.practice to create a food experience that drew inspiration from the processes of the jeweller’s workshop- translating actions associated with the making of jewellery into contemporary Indian food.
Tools such as mandrels, tweezers, doming blocks, polishing nubs, and shovels were reimagined as instruments for serving and putting together food and inviting guests to engage with the meal as one might approach the craft of making these jewellery pieces.
Thyme and cacio e pepe kachori’s were inspired by the doming block used to create curvature and dimension in jewellery, while caramelised figs with khejur gur and smoked paprika goat cheese parfait represented the careful visual inspection of precious gems.
While the centre grazing table peaked curiosity, the signature cocktails were designed to be fun, with an element of surprise, and for the guests to experience the discovery of the raw materials used in the craft of jewellery making. The chili & curry leaf spritzer, once sipped, stained your lips with a decadent touch of silver vark, representing beaten metal sheets, while the java plum fizz revealed gemstones at the bottom of the glass as you sipped and discovered them.

Hello Kolkata ❤️ We have been busy experimenting, cooking & tasting in the kitchen and are excited to launch a few new dishes on our menu! What do we recommend?
If you are stopping by for breakfast, the classic scrambled eggs are a must. They arrive on a house-baked multi-seeded Flemish bread with our signature basil pesto-marinated cherry tomatoes. It feels light, fluffy, and fresh. For a quick working lunch, the chèvre chaud salad - golden goat cheese croquettes, julienned apple, toasted walnuts- feels both European and utterly Kolkata but was inspired by our co-founders’ time spent in Switzerland!
There is off course a nod to the city’s love for seafood with tempura fish and chips and a caper tartar sauce, while those who love pasta, our handmade fettuccini is enveloped in a slow-simmered lamb bolognaise ragu that evokes an Italian nonna’s kitchen. For those of you who like something sweet- a hot, gooey chocolate cookie with vanilla bean ice cream is beyond decadent and must be tried!
The new menu is now live at CAARA, Kolkata. 2nd floor, 54/1b, Hindustan Park Rd, Golpark (Above Good Earth). For reservations, please call +91 74288 15600

We call this chef’s special because they truly are little flaky pillows of pure deliciousness.
We took the classic ravioli and gave it a total makeover- filled with a creamy cacio e pepe mixture and then cooked to perfection so they puff up like a cloud!
The magic happens when these little pillows get crispy on the outside but stay soft and cheesy inside. We serve them on a bed of romesco sauce, which adds a rich, nutty flavour to the entire dish.
Find this on all our menu’s - it’s a must try, chefs recommendation this week!
