Avatara, Dubai’s soulful ode to Indian vegetarian gastronomy, invites guests to an intimate, one-night-only dining experience in collaboration with acclaimed beverage innovator Nana Sechere, featuring bespoke cocktail and non-alcoholic pairings crafted using Paragon cordials.
Taking place on 12 February, this exclusive experience sees Avatara’s Experience Menu paired with a thoughtfully curated selection of drinks designed to echo, enhance, and elevate the philosophy behind each course. Rooted in shared values of ingredient integrity, balance, and craftsmanship, the collaboration offers a refined dialogue between plate and glass.
Nana’s pairings draw from Paragon’s rich botanical palette to mirror the structure of Avatara’s menu — accentuating spice without overpowering, adding brightness where needed, and offering gentle bitterness or warmth to create balance. Each cocktail and mocktail is designed not as an accompaniment, but as an extension of the menu itself, allowing flavours to unfold in unison.
The thoughtfully crafted pairing menu will be priced at AED 495 for cocktails and AED 390 for mocktails.
This collaboration marks a meeting point between modern beverage innovation and Indian vegetarian fine dining, where flavour is explored with precision, respect, and creativity.
Nana Sechere brings over two decades of global experience in the beverage world and is widely recognised for his ability to translate complex flavour concepts into refined, accessible experiences. As Regional Beverage Expert for Monin Middle East and a leading voice in contemporary drinks culture, Nana’s approach aligns seamlessly with Avatara’s philosophy of pushing boundaries while remaining rooted in tradition.
Together, Avatara, Nana, and Paragon present an experience that celebrates flavour as a universal language — one that transcends categories and redefines how beverages and food can coexist at the highest level of dining.
