LUNCH / DINNER MENU

Your Candlelight Dining Experience

When the soft glow of candlelight flickers across your private celebration space, every dish served becomes part of an unforgettable romantic narrative. At HIVY – Candlelight Dinner in Surat, we understand that a truly romantic evening requires more than beautiful décor – it demands a culinary experience that matches the intimacy of the moment, dish after carefully prepared dish.

Our candlelight dinner menu has been thoughtfully designed by experienced chefs who specialize in romantic dining. Each element – from the initial welcome mocktail to the final spoonful of dessert – is calibrated to enhance the connection between you and your partner while creating a sensory journey that engages taste, aroma, and visual delight in equal measure.

The Art of Course-by-Course Service

Unlike rushed restaurant dining, our candlelight dinners unfold at a deliberately romantic pace. The first thirty minutes of your three-hour celebration begin with welcome drinks – signature mocktails served in elegantly decorated glasses that catch the flickering candlelight beautifully. This is your moment to settle into the atmosphere, admire the fairy lights and floral arrangements, and reconnect with your partner before any substantial food arrives.

When the starters emerge from our kitchen, they arrive warm and impeccably presented. Whether you've chosen vegetarian appetizers like crispy paneer bites, loaded cheese fondue, or garden-fresh bruschetta, or non-vegetarian selections such as tender chicken tikka or spiced seekh kebabs, each dish is portioned for sharing – encouraging that intimate moment of feeding each other or debating which starter is the favourite.

Main Course Perfection

The heart of any candlelight dinner lies in the main course, and HIVY ensures this centrepiece exceeds expectations. Our multi-course meal features a balanced selection of dishes that reflect both comfort and sophistication. Vegetarian couples can savour rich paneer butter masala, aromatic vegetable biryani, creamy dal makhani, and freshly baked naan – dishes that are indulgent without being heavy, allowing you to enjoy the meal without post-dinner drowsiness.

For those who prefer non-vegetarian preparations, our kitchen excels in butter chicken, mutton rogan josh, and grilled chicken dishes that balance flavour and spice perfectly. Each gravy is prepared using traditional recipes enhanced with our chef's signature touches, ensuring familiar comfort food elevated to celebration quality.

We also offer Jain food options prepared without onion and garlic for couples with specific dietary observances. Simply mention your requirements during booking, and our team will ensure every dish respects your preferences while delivering full flavour satisfaction.

Sweet Endings: Desserts by Candlelight

The dessert course arrives during the final act of your romantic evening – timed perfectly to coincide with the emotional crescendo of your celebration. Our signature warm chocolate brownie served with vanilla ice cream creates that perfect photograph moment: two spoons, one dessert, candlelight dancing in the background. Alternatively, choose traditional gulab jamun for a sweet Indian touch, or opt for our fresh fruit platter for a lighter finish.

Every candlelight dinner package includes a complimentary celebration cake for special occasions. Whether it’s an anniversary, proposal celebration, or simply a date night that deserves a sweet highlight, the cake-cutting moment becomes another cherished memory under the romantic tent décor.

Beverages That Enhance Romance

Careful attention has been given to our beverage selection, ensuring drinks complement rather than overpower the food. Welcome mocktails include virgin mojito, rose sharbat spritzer, and mango tango – refreshing options that photograph beautifully in decorated glasses. Throughout the dinner, soft drinks, fresh juice, and bottled water remain available.

For those special toasting moments – proposals, anniversaries, or simply celebrating love – non-alcoholic champagne can be added for ₹500. The celebratory pop, the bubbling glasses, and the romantic clink create picture-perfect moments that couples treasure forever.

Customization and Dietary Care

Every couple is unique, and so should be their candlelight dinner. Our fully customizable menu allows you to request specific dishes, adjust spice levels, accommodate allergies, or even recreate a meaningful dish from your relationship history. Inform us of gluten sensitivities, nut allergies, dairy restrictions, or any other dietary concerns, and our kitchen will prepare every item safely.

We encourage couples to speak with our team during booking to discuss menu preferences. Whether you want extra-spicy dishes, a particular regional cuisine emphasis, or special items that hold sentimental value, we adapt our standard menu to create something truly personal.
