Behrouz Biryani spices up Ramzan 2026 Iftar menu
Badshahi & Nawabi Iftar boxes plus a-la-carte haleem and sheer khurma roll out for the holy month.
MUMBAI: When the sun sets and the call to break fast echoes, Behrouz Biryani is ready to turn Iftar into a royal affair – one slow-cooked spoonful at a time. As Ramzan 2026 begins, the brand is refreshing its much-loved offerings with limited-time Iftar boxes, timeless favourites and a multi-format campaign that keeps tradition simmering while honouring the month’s spirit of patience and togetherness.
Leading the lineup are two grand Iftar boxes. The Badshahi Iftari Sandooq serves a lavish 7-course feast for 3–4 people: Royal Dates, choice of Royal Biryani, Royal Gosht Haleem with Kulcha, Zareen Murgh Shorba, Murgh Patti Samosa, Murgh Koobideh Kebabs, Phirni, Sheer Khurma, Gulrosh Soda Sharbat and a Luxe Choco Indulgence gift box. For smaller gatherings of 1–2, the Nawabi Iftari Khazana offers a refined 5-course spread with Royal Dates, Royal Biryani, Gosht Haleem with Kulcha, Phirni and Gulrosh Soda Sharbat. Customers can pick their preferred biryani variant in both.
Beyond the boxes, the a-la-carte Ramzan menu brings back crowd-pleasers, Gosht Haleem, Murgh Haleem, Zareen Murgh Shorba, Sheer Khurma, Murgh Patti Samosa, Phirni, Gulrosh Soda Sharbat, Royal Dates and a seasonal Rose Falooda. The Luxe Choco Indulgence box doubles as a festive gifting option.
The storytelling ramps up with two hero films. One, narrated by Vijay Raaz, dives into Behrouz’s royal roots, dum pukht technique, long-grain basmati and its signature 23-shahi-masala blend. The other spotlights the slow, patient craft behind Behrouz Haleem, framing it as the comforting reward after a day of fasting. A Mushaira series in collaboration with Tape A Tale, plus influencer-led stories of families sharing Iftar across India, keeps the cultural conversation flowing.
Rebel Foods chief marketing officer Nishant Kedia captured the ethos: “Ramzan is a deeply significant period for our consumers, rooted in patience, gratitude, and togetherness. At Behrouz, we approach the month with great respect for these traditions. Our Ramzan menu from slow-cooked haleem to thoughtfully curated Iftar boxes is crafted to remain consistent, comforting, and deeply satisfying, strengthening the trust our consumers place in us.”
In a month where food becomes more than fuel, Behrouz isn’t just serving biryani, it’s dishing out memories, one fragrant layer at a time. Whether you’re breaking fast solo or with a full table, these offerings promise to make the evening feel a little more regal.

Disney Cruise Line launches Disney Adventure as Robert Downey Jr. christens ship in Singapore
Star studded ceremony marks line’s first Southeast Asia ship
SINGAPORE: Disney Cruise Line has officially welcomed its newest and largest ship, the Disney Adventure, with a glittering, music filled christening ceremony in Singapore, marking the brand’s first ever vessel to homeport in Southeast Asia.
Held inside the ship’s grand Walt Disney Theatre, the celebration unfolded as a theatrical spectacle worthy of Broadway. Regional vocalists and musicians were joined by a 23 piece orchestra, while sweeping video projections wrapped the stage in classic Disney, Pixar and Marvel moments. Special appearances from captain Mickey Mouse and captain Minnie Mouse added a touch of nautical charm.
Among the headline performers were Jed Madela, hollywood performing arts hall of fame inductee, and Dami Im, international recording artist known for Eurovision. Together, they led a soaring tribute to Disney’s musical legacy.
On stage to mark the milestone were Josh D’Amaro, chairman of disney experiences and incoming chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company, and Joe Schott, president of disney signature experiences.
D’Amaro described the ship as a new chapter for the company in Asia, saying it would bring Disney storytelling to audiences who may be experiencing the brand’s magic for the first time.
The ceremonial highlight came from Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr., who serves as the ship’s godparent. With characteristic flair, he declared, “You bring the theme and I’ll bring the thunder,” before delivering the traditional blessing: “I christen thee, Disney Adventure, may God bless this ship and all who sail upon her.”
The ceremony closed with a jubilant rendition of “Let’s Set Sail”, a long standing Disney Cruise Line tradition designed to stir excitement for the voyages ahead.
Drawing on more than a century of storytelling from Disney, Pixar and Marvel, the Disney Adventure promises a floating world of fantasy. Guests can wander through seven immersive themed areas, including San Fransokyo Street inspired by Big Hero 6.
On board highlights include a brand new Broadway style musical titled Remember, immersive dining, signature fireworks at sea, imaginative children’s clubs and a vibrant collection of bars and lounges for adults. Thrill seekers can also take on Ironcycle Test Run, the cruise line’s first roller coaster at sea.
The Disney Adventure is the eighth ship in the fleet and sets sail on its maiden voyage on 10 March, launching an inaugural season of three and four night itineraries. It forms part of an ambitious expansion plan that will see five more ships join the fleet by 2031.
For Disney, the magic is no longer just on stage or screen. In Singapore, it now sails.
