Martabaan by Hemant Oberoi Elevates Afternoon Tea with Contemporary Indian Sensibilities

Martabaan by Hemant Oberoi, nestled within the grandeur of Mandarin Oriental Emirates Palace, has introduced a refined reimagining of the afternoon tea service. The new offering infuses the time honoured British tradition with the rich culinary heritage of Indian cuisine, creating an experience that speaks to Abu Dhabi’s cosmopolitan sensibilities.

The High Tea selection presents a curated progression of flavours and textures, beginning with savoury offerings that showcase the depth of Indian gastronomy before transitioning to a selection of sweets that balance indulgence with sophistication. Each element has been thoughtfully prepared to reflect contemporary interpretations of classical Indian tastes, elevating what might otherwise be a familiar afternoon ritual into something altogether more compelling.

Tea service forms the cornerstone of this offering, with selections chosen to complement the carefully composed menu. The pairing of premium teas with both savoury and sweet components demonstrates a nuanced understanding of flavour harmony and the art of the traditional afternoon service.

Chef Hemant Oberoi’s distinguished culinary vision has long been recognised for its ability to marry technique with authenticity, and this new service represents a natural extension of that philosophy. By applying his refined sensibilities to the afternoon tea format, Martabaan invites guests to experience a moment of respite that honours tradition whilst celebrating contemporary creativity.

The addition of this service enriches the dining proposition at Martabaan, offering discerning residents and visitors a compelling reason to pause during their afternoon and engage with a refined culinary experience. It is the kind of thoughtful hospitality that defines Abu Dhabi’s most sophisticated dining establishments, where cultural traditions are celebrated and reimagined for the modern palate.

Martabaan by Hemant Oberoi continues to position itself as a destination for those seeking Indian cuisine executed at the highest levels of craftsmanship and presentation.
