HELLO! India Eat Buy Try: What's on our hot list this November 2025

The lifestyle world is innovating so vigorously, there's more to discover since you began reading this sentence. Across the country, there's a new restaurant launching almost every month, a prime shopping pick that the internet cannot stop gushing over or an experience like never before that has made its way to your city. While it allows for plenty of choice, it can also be tricky to choose what's worth your time and money to dine at, shop for and visit. Enter the HELLO! Editor's Eat Buy Try list: a curated list of personally-recommended choices for a variety of experiences across the country. It's the hand-picked hotspots for you to head to, so you don't have to spend a second on those that don't make the cut.

This month on HELLO! India's Eat Buy Try, we're eating from a multi-course degustation menu, buying earphones that are made for exercise and trying XYZ.

Trèsind Mumbai: Before your spoon even touches the plate at this modernist fine-dining restaurant, there will be signs that your dining experience at Trèsind in BKC, which relaunched recently, is going to be unlike any other. A lavender-scented table-side smoke show and chilled towels open to an extensive 14-course degustation menu which constitutes with fresh picks and culinary gems from across the country. Their take on pani puri featured a carrot kanji orb, which burst with flavour. They reinvented the German turnip turned into a taco shell which ended with a creamy mouthful of yoghurt crémeux. The tomato and strawberry chaat came to life with its snap, crackle and pop in every bite. The Chargrilled Lobster, one of their most subdued but special courses, didn't need drama to make it a smash hit as its smokey finish and crustacean flavour did that well enough. The palette cleanser with bite-sized version of khandvi ice-cream topped with fafda and picked chilli is food play at its finest; with the dish signifying one thing to the eyes and something else entirely to the tastebuds. Their renowned Khichdi of India; which rests securely on their new menu, is assembled table-side with 20 ingredients from across the country; including Himachal's green apples, Goa's cashews and Kerala's black pepper. Desserts are just as fantastical as Pazham Pori's banana custard and chocolate ice-cream merge effortlessly while the Coffee Stone; which is an espresso-rific explosion in the mouth, ends the meal on a high note. There are good reasons why Trèsind's sister restaurant in Dubai has been awarded with a Michelin star and the fact that dining here is not just a meal but an experience; is simply one of those reasons.

Powerbeats Fit: As if working out regularly isn't tough enough, finding exercise-friendly earphones that don't plop out when you're hitting the treadmill can only add to the exercise dread. After all, lifts and pumps don't hit with the same vigour if you don't have a gym mix playing as your own personal background score. That changed when I made the Powerbeats Fit my newest workout buddy. Their flexible wingtip combined with multiple tip sizes make them sit securely within the ears; a god-send if you opt for high-mobility exercises and its sweat and water resistance keeps the fear of "will my particularly sweaty run damage my earphones?" at arm's length. When it comes to audio capability, the Apple-owned brand brings its renowned capabilities to the forefront. Its adaptive noise cancellation and personalised spatial audio will keep you riveted but hopefully, not too riveted because you're meant to be working out here! Its automatic switching works seamlessly for iOS users and add 30 hours of battery life to it and you've got yourself a winner, long after you step out of the gym as well.

Frozen Fun: In the country's ever-expanding ice-cream market, Frozen Fun has proved be a stand-out in my selection of post-dinner sweet treats. Making a name for itself as a gelato brand that turns to an authentic Italian methodology of small batch making with premium ingredients, it was clear as day to me how distinctly tasty it was compared to every other ice-cream I had eaten. Some of its more unique flavours blend cookie dough with butterscotch and peanut butter with chocolate but to me, it was their simplest flavours that stood out. Their Sicilian Pistachio, a rare variant I've only ever found outside the country, was a deliciously smooth bite with a butty base and the Belgian Chocolate is a heaven-sent not-too-sweet pick for chocolate lovers. For me however, it was Madagascar Vanilla that won. Creamy as ever, flecked with vanilla bean and no added flavouring, it was purely vanilla-laden and made me understand why its a favourite flavour choice the world over. When it's this good, it would be.

Bomba: Whatever is said about the pizzas and tacos at Bomba is a mere understatement to the overall experience. When I first walked into Bomba at one of their initial outlets a couple of years ago, I didn't realise I would walk out with a new favourite. A few years later, and with an outlet closer home, I find myself going back to this modern classic at any given excuse for obvious reasons. The space buzzes with an electric yet easygoing energy. Every cocktail feels like it’s been crafted to set the tone for a great night. The food is playful, vibrant, and surprisingly elevated for how relaxed the setting feels. For pizza lovers, the Hottie, a reimagined pepperoni drizzled with hot honey and the Lamb Birria tacos for taco Tuesdays, beyond Tuesdays; I can't recommend it enough. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time over good drinks and better conversations. Honestly, everyone deserves a Bomba night — that perfect mix of flavour, ambience, and a little indulgence.

Swarovski White Matrix Rhodium-Plated Necklace: The sale season this year got the better of me, but I am not guilty. The moment I spotted the Swarovski White Matrix Rhodium-Plated Necklace, I knew it would be a versatile addition to my collection. The minimalistic design feels like you're slipping into a quiet kind of luxury that adds glint to even my simplest outfits. Having said that, I also see it being paired with chic ethnic ensembles during the ongoing festive season to complement it in the best way possible. There’s something magical about owning a piece that transitions seamlessly from day to evening glamour. If you love jewellery that’s timeless yet modern, this necklace is the kind of investment that keeps giving.

Ultherapy at Alive Wellness Clinic: As if Delhi’s pollution levels weren’t stressful enough, I suddenly found myself battling unprecedented breakouts — something my usually reliable combination skin and minimal skincare routine had never put me through before. That's when Alive Wellness Clinic came to my rescue for a skin refresher. My Ultherapy session at Alive Wellness Clinic felt like a reset button for my skin. The clinic’s calm, luxe setting paired with the team’s expertise made the experience feel both reassuring and transformative. The treatment itself was non-invasive yet powerful — I could literally feel the promise of firmer, lifted skin beneath the surface. In the days that followed, my face felt more contoured and refreshed in a natural, “just back from vacation” way. If you’re looking for real results without downtime, this is one experience worth prioritising.
