Neuma: When ace Chef Suvir Saran recommends you to try something, it means to be something really delectable and thoughtful, and Neuma's two-day pop-up called ‘What’s Poppin with Chef Mohib Farooqui’ on 20th and 21st September is no exception, as Chef Mohib Farooqui is bringing his world-class expertise and a fresh take on Levantine flavours, served with a side of innovation. An alum of Le Cordon Bleu Sydney and a true culinary globetrotter, Chef Mohib has worked with Michelin-starred chefs and helmed kitchens across Australia, Denmark, and India. With over 12 years of experience, including stints at top restaurants like Urbane and Restaurant Relae, and a Michelin-starred menu at Inddee in Bangkok, his dishes are a celebration of tradition, reimagined for modern palates. This one-of-its-kind popup will play with tradition and offer a delectable twist, for instance, cool cucumber will meet liquid vegetables, pumpkin will get a hit of habanero, and the rich taste of Australian lamb will be elevated with classic Levantine baharat spices. And if you have vegetarian preferences - you’re in luck! Dishes like soybeans with sesame and pomegranate or bell pepper and feta salad are here to impress. And for those with a sweet tooth, the Medjool date and key lime dessert is a perfect finale. Excited about the pop-up, Chef Mohib Farooqui says, “This pop-up is my way of sharing the soul of Levantine cuisine with Mumbai’s vibrant food scene. Each dish tells a story—of history, culture, and flavour—and I can’t wait for guests to experience our innovation through every bite.”
