The Speakeasy.
Bar & Dinner Floor

Upstairs, Pahli Hill is bright, warm and built around the table. Downstairs, Bandra Bhai is darker, cosier and more clandestine — a low-lit cocktail den with the same soul. Two distinct moods, one kitchen, and the same regional Indian food at the heart of both.

Down the back staircase, behind an unmarked door, there's a Mumbai-1970s cocktail den. Curry-leaf gin, jaggery sours, Indian single malts. Walk-ins, low light, late hours. Knock twice.

Bandra, once a quiet Catholic fishing village, evolved into a vibrant Bombay neighbourhood. In the early '90s, India's closed economy led to underground smugglers providing rare luxuries like whiskies and gold watches. Our bar and cocktails celebrate this spirit of secret hustle, forbidden indulgence, and timeless charm.
