Chef David Myers returns to ADRIFT KAYA, JW Marriott New Delhi, with an all-new menu

Curates a menu that fuses classic Japanese flavours with his signature California influence

Chef David Myers returns to the national capital, where he will showcase his culinary artistry at ADRIFT KAYA, seamlessly blending tradition with innovation under the expert guidance of The Gypsy Chef.

Situated in JW Marriott New Delhi, ADRIFT KAYA, the brainchild of Sandeep Gupta, Executive Chairman of Aria Hotels and Consultancy Pvt Ltd, seamlessly blends traditional izakaya elements with modern culinary artistry. Designed by the world-renowned Timothy Oulton Studio, the space features sumptuous yet relaxed surroundings with authentic raw materials, state-of-the-art finishes, and beautifully detailed furniture, creating an unparalleled hospitality experience.

The new menu harmoniously fuses classic Japanese flavours with Chef David Myers’ signature California influence. Highlights include Shishito Peppers with Hokkaido sea salt, Fried Oyster Tonkatsu with Gabriche sauce, and cold dishes like oysters with chopped Negi and Ponzu, sweet prawns with Yuzu Kosho, and salmon belly. Tempura options feature red snapper with coriander salad and hot Ten Tsuyu with grated radish, while the Robata and Yakitori selection includes King Crab with Ponzu, Lobster with Lemon Miso Butter, and Braised Red Snapper with Yuzu Kosho.

ADRIFT KAYA also introduced Majicha Tea. Majicha embodies meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering passion. Each cup of Majicha Tea reflects a rich cultural heritage and is handpicked and crafted using traditional methods. The tea leaves, nurtured by Kyoto’s climate, ensure the highest quality in every brew. The tea is sourced from an exclusive partnership with the oldest tea company in Japan and the tea company that sells to the royal family. Rich in antioxidants and amino acids, Majicha promotes good health and well-being with every sip.

David Myers shares, “My most powerful experiences in life are those that include food. Travel continues to be my greatest inspiration and the most important tool in crafting unique culinary experiences. As I develop each ADRIFT concept, I aim to create a special journey for every guest that reflects the powerful union of travel and cuisine. As chefs, we constantly seek perfection in our craft, driving us to explore new dishes and techniques. I am delighted to present our latest recipes and ideas in this new menu edition. Join us on a culinary journey as we explore some of my favourite flavours from the land of the rising sun.”
