The Robb Report Table: An Evening at Central Park that Celebrated Belanova and Ultimate Home Series

The second edition of the Robb Report Table was hosted in collaboration with Central Park to celebrate the newly unveiled luxury residences Belanova and the new Ultimate Homes series. 

An invitation-only gathering, the evening drew a thoughtful mix of industry voices from across sectors, including Avijit Kumar Singh, Country Manager for the Indian Subcontinent at Jaeger-LeCoultre; Vidur Mayor, founder of Earth's Sake; Shiv Agarwal, Managing Director at ABC Consultants; and Kapil Chopra, founder of Diviana Interior, among others.

The space itself carried a certain lightness. A spring-forward theme defined the decor with beautiful florals that guided the guests from the entrance into the heart of the venue. Off to one side, a brewing station presented an array of teas, inviting a little pause. Nearby, a delicately arranged floral counter allowed guests to pick up small bouquets, a gesture that was appreciated by the guests. 

Music, too, was an essential part of the setup. The gentle resonance of live double bass and violin performances added depth, creating a soundscape that allowed conversations to flow freely.

As guests settled in, the transition into dinner was marked by a brief address from Robb Report India’s editor, Aindrila Mitra, followed by Ankush Kaul, President of Marketing and Sales at Central Park, and the Chef for the night, Vicky Ratnani.

At the centre of the experience was Chef Vicky Ratnani’s specially curated six-course menu. Thoughtfully constructed around elemental themes, each course arrived with its own narrative. In a gesture that added a layer of intimacy, the chef personally introduced each dish, offering context, inspiration, and a glimpse into the philosophy behind the plate.

The menu moved through a well-balanced progression, beginning with Mom’s croquettes paired with spiced tomato marmalade. It shifted into Roots & Stem with rainbow baby beets and lotus stem chaat, alongside smoked mango chutney, tamarind gel and mint aquachile, before Earth brings in torched jumbo asparagus with whipped brown butter, toasted almonds and preserved lemon. In Land & Breeze, a pâté of butternut squash and saffron-fennel risotto with confit pomelo and basil oil is mirrored by Atlantic salmon and jumbo prawn with saffron-fennel risotto, confit heirloom tomato, and basil oil. The Harvest course featured a portobello steak au poivre with morel jus, truffle pomme purée, and achari-glazed baby carrots, alongside herb-crusted free-range chicken supreme with romesco fonduta, brie-jalapeño kulcha, and black garlic chutney. It concluded with Nectar, where ricotta motichoor laddu, angoori rasmalai, and falooda with kulfi bring the meal to a delicious, familiar close.

At Belanova, the RR Table did what it set out to do. It created space for conversation, for connection, and for a shared understanding of what luxury, today, truly feels like.
