CYK Hospitalities announces the launch of Thamel, a new Western and Himalayan restaurant at AIPL Joy Central, Sector 65, Gurugram. The new fine dining is an example of CYK’s motto of making beautiful F&B places and locating them at the best possible place where the realness of various cultures, aesthetic design, efficient operations, and thoughtful leasing come together perfectly.
A seamless blend of Himalayan and Western dining
Thamel, founded by Piyush Agrawal, an enthusiastic businessman with a deep love for Himalayan flavours and Western dining, serves as a unique culinary bridge between the warmth of Himalayan cuisine and the sophistication of Continental fare. CYK Hospitalities collaborated with him on every aspect — from concept creation and menu planning to design, training, and brand identity — bringing the vision of Thamel to life.
A founder’s vision rooted in heritage and passion
Piyush Agrawal, Founder of Thamel says, “Thamel is more than a mere dining establishment; it is a mirror of the emotions that are closely related to my origin and passion to offer irresistible. I intend to invite the world to a table where soft and comfortable tastes from the Himalayan cuisine are served with elegance. CYK Hospitalities was deeply involved in the process of making that dream happen, from concept creation to the development of a brand that feels both real and timeless.”
CYK’s expertise in building timeless dining brands
Commenting on the partnership, Pulkit Arora, Director & Culinary Expert, CYK Hospitalities states, “Every brand is a narrative that is just waiting to be unveiled. At Thamel, we have put our effort to create a place that is both very close and very high in the eye of the beholder, a place where genuineness meets flexibility. We intended to turn it into a spot that not only preserves the cuisines from the past but also embraces its future.”
A reflection of India’s evolving F&B landscape
Simran Jeet Singh, Director, CYK Hospitalities, adds, “A project like Thamel demonstrates the changing F&B approach in India, where local identity mingles with global inquisitiveness. Our target was to locate a place with substantial footfalls and a place like AIPL Joy Central in Gurugram was a great option for Thamel.”
