My stay at Shangri-La’s – Eros Hotel may have been plenty memorable, but it wouldn’t have been complete without a trip down Ayurveda lane. Enter Shangri-La’s Spa facility! Featuring a fitness center, salon and private suites, it is easily one of the largest in Delhi. Now the fact that it’s named ‘the Spa at Shangri-La’ is unassuming to begin with. But this also means I had no idea I was in for traditional Asian healing philosophies. Being a ‘Swedish massage’ woman, I was miffed at being recommended the Ananda touch treatment, if ever so slightly. Turns out, it all was for nothing. You’ll see.

I rode down the elevator to the lower ground level knowing fully well whatever I was in store for was going to last two whole hours. But what was it going to be? The answer came after two sips of the aromatic herbal tea. After seating me in what I could call the most minimalistic lounge, for a spa at least, the therapist offered me a cup of tea and said ‘Abhyanga’ and ‘Shirodhara’ it was going to be. So my two-hour treatment was an Ayurvedic oils laced amalgamation of two independent therapies. Lucky me! I thought and proceeded to change into a robe and prepare to stretch out in some steam.

After 10 minutes, beading with drops of sweat, newly open pores in tow, I followed the therapist through a colossal lobby. Now I must say, I had never been to a spa within a hotel before. This one, at times, gave me the feeling of being far away, into some wood-paneled Indian-ized galaxy. At other times, such as this, it made me lucidly aware that I was in yet another one of the hotel’s lobbies. All my notions, however, turned hazy as soon as I stepped foot in the treatment room. This was my own personal, ambiently lit galaxy, where a warm, foot soak awaited me. A Thai touch, was it? Didn’t matter. It was the first step (no spa pun intended) into a rigorous process of rejuvenating.

Next, it was time for Abhyanga. The therapist explained this is a traditional Indian massage, which uses a combination of soothing and symmetrical long strokes to relax the body. Her voice softly cut into the calming music as she continued that the ritual increases blood circulation, stimulates lymphatic flow, and relieves fatigue. I was glad it did and amazed at how much she knew too. Stroke by stroke, she went on to elaborate that all the oils being used were transported all the way over from South India, extracted from the leaves of ancient trees. She quieted down when she sensed she’d lost me. She spoke up again when she found me stirring, telling me all about how these ancient rituals were meant to be carried out sans luxury.

At this point, I mentally thanked the hotel for the plush privacy of my surrounds, my cushioned massage bed, and the chance to luxuriantly experience therapies rooted in history. When she was done kneading out any knots and was through with meticulously massaging each part of the body, the therapist asked me to step down and move to the second bed to experience the Shirodhara method or the application of oil to the forehead in a steady stream. Now this one’s going to make you hold your shampoos close (and your conditioners miles away), but it was one third-eye awakening technique! Ok, so maybe not. But Shirodhara is known to awaken the third eye besides relax both the mind and the senses and improving mental clarity.

I don’t know how the first one worked, but I did know I was greatly in need of relaxation and clarity. Thus began the dripping of medicated oil on my forehead from a vessel that hung above. I can’t say it wasn’t a whole lot of tickling sensations at first but soon, I got used to this unusual therapy. At some point, I realized how often I had seen it advertised in spa pamphlets and wondered what it had been. Now I was glad I knew, especially if it were supposed to relieve sleeplessness and headaches. After all, how often do we exit a spa knowing it will benefit our general well being! That said it was time to exit this chamber of earthen enchantments and once again, bask in some steam.

The steam is supposed to help further soak in all the oils. So if the therapist’s tousling and squeezing of my particularly long hair hadn’t done it (which I highly doubt), this would. I was supposed to be in there for 10 minutes, but its not like I could’ve kept a tab on time, what with the floating feeling that nobody said would accompany the treatment. I walked out through the waft of steam and made my way into one of the shower stalls. Now ‘stall’ wouldn’t quite do justice to the spacious bathing suites. Nor would I ‘made my way,’ to the treatment because my eyes were practically snapping shut from all that combined serenading. Lets just say I stumbled into the shower and took God knows how long to wash all the oil out, numbed from being elevated to newfound levels of harmony.

Said harmony followed me out as I made my way back to the much brighter reception, nursing my glass of water and a sense of rejuvenation. I bid goodbye to my erudite therapist and thanked the floor’s attendant. He had pressed in for the elevator that had just pinged open. Clearly, pampering hadn’t ended with the treatment.

Ananda touch- Rs 7,000 ($115)

Address – Shangri-La’s – Eros Hotel, New Delhi 19 Ashoka Road, Connaught Place, New Delhi, 110 001, India T: (91 11) 4119 1919 [Shangri-La’s Eros Hotel, New Delhi]

I find most coffee shops painfully stifling so Tamra (Sanskrit for copper), the all-day dining and coffee shop at Shangri-La’s Eros Hotel in the Capital, with its jute dividers, wooden rolling pins on the ceiling and bright sunlight, was a happy surprise. This contemporary 186-seater, which replaces 19 Oriental Avenue, boasts of five live theatre kitchens: Indian, Asian (Thai, Malay, Singaporean and Chinese), Western Grill, Japanese-and-Teppanyaki, and a dessert counter. There is also a large salad bar and a cheese counter.

The good stuff

The Western Barbeque, the non-vegetarian section of the Western Grill, featured cuts of meat and fish, live-grilled and accompanied by light complimentary sauces or jus. I’m a big fan of good sauces and these hit the mark: coffee barbeque sauce with the chicken, citrus cream sauce with the fish, rosemary jus with the lamb, and a green peppercorn reduction with the tenderloin.

As impressive was the sophisticated assortment of vegetarian dishes on the Western Vegetarian island, the vegetarian section of the Western Grill. I had a creamy polenta cake, a beautiful cabbage dolma with a fiery pomodoro sauce and crispy herbed potatoes. All light, flavourful and delicate.

Just like the Caesar salad. Simply done using a large, crisp romaine, tossed with charred asparagus, corn niblets and assorted toppings, a choice of olive, walnut and avocado oil dressings—I chose the walnut—and topped off with toasted superfood seeds (from flax to sunflower), with Parmesan shavings adding texture and flavour.

From the Indian section, we had the signature Paneer Ka Lifafa ( ? 950), similar to a grilled quesadilla: malai paneer dices tossed with vinegar onions, encased in a lightly fried roomali roti. The marinated Aambedi Fish Tikka ( ? 1,100) had an interesting, tangy flavour. At lunch they also have a saag station with “healthy" food, from blanched veggies in turmeric and salt to lightly fried bhindi (okra) or baingan (brinjal).

Dinner at the Ghar Ka Khaana buffet, a part of the Indian section, is more elaborate. The chef makes two dishes using only five basic spices: turmeric, cumin, coriander, chilli powder and salt. These are served with fresh phulkas of multigrain flour, masala flour and besan (chickpea flour).

My lunch companion tried the lamb massaman and said it was delicate, with complex layered flavours, making it the best dish off the Asian counter. She also endorsed the mixed rice with veggies. I tried the laksa from the noodle soup station: tangy and spicy, with toppings including shredded chicken, bean sprouts, spring onions, coriander, fried shallots and lime wedges.

And then there was dessert: The Tamra Chocolate ( ? 500), dark chocolate with a chocolate mousse-filled sphere, a chocolate dacquoise base and sesame orange crisps, with caramel sauce poured at the table. The Aag Jamun ( ? 500), gulab jamun flambéed with Old Monk and topped with kulfi, was an inspired sensory feast.

The not-so-good

The Tofu Denngaku, deep-fried tofu with miso sauce ( ? 500), was soggy. The Ohn No Khaoswe (noodles in a coconut-based chicken broth) was overpowered by what seemed to be red Thai paste. Most of the Chinese dishes were a disappointment, even somewhat baffling: The lamb had a sauce straight from a Chinese 101 cookbook, and the greens were watery, not wilted.

The crêpes at the live dessert counter were bulky and dense, and could not be salvaged by the syrupy sweet sauces and assorted fruit.

Talk plastic

The lunch buffet is ? 1,950 per person. The dinner buffet is ? 2,100. There’s also a breakfast buffet for ? 1,100 (exclusive of taxes).
