Spread across a sprawling heritage bungalow in Central Bangalore, Bombay Borough is the ideal space for all your moods and moments, from drinks after work to meals with loved ones and an any-time catch-up session with friends. You would find that Bombay Borough epitomizes modern India through an explosion of hyper-local and regional flavors with its eclectic food and cocktails.

The bungalow encompasses a beautiful mango tree as its centerpiece, and the portico, the patio, and the outdoor open to nature create a unique and alluring all-day vibe. The beautiful Bougainvillea portico bar is located at the porch spilling over to the bar-centric relaxed outdoor, open to nature, alongside a roofed patio covered in poetic Mangalore tiles. The artistic rooms inside the villa are given an eclectic bohemian set up and lit by sizeable handmade brass lamps inspired by Kashmiri filigree. The hand-painted ceramic wall plates draw inspiration from Indian floral motifs and a balance of vintage artifacts and modern art to add an exotic charm to the space.

Whether guests want to dine Al Fresco out in the open air, sample the indoor comfort of our bar, or opt for indoor private dining – Bombay Borough is a multi-layered space with options to suit everyone.

The Bougainvillea Bar at Bombay Borough is a well-traveled one. An upscale bar version of Bombay Brasserie, the drinks menu at Bombay Borough focuses on tastefully curated cocktails that are themed on Indian regional ingredients and history, besides an extensive list of wine, gin, beers, and other spirits. Old favorites from across cultures sit comfortably alongside refreshing new concoctions.

The cocktails feature our unique homemade infusions, bitters, and tinctures with regional and global flavors which fit a diverse range of palettes. Desi Cocktails like Cochin Smoke, Royal Maharaja, Chowpatty Beach Lolly, and Darjeeling Nights are designed to reflect regional twists. The botanist-inspired Angrezi Gin & Tonics inspire British India with inclusions like Memsaab’s Pink Gin, Bengal Blossom, and Queen’s Necklace. The menu also features “Pauwas,” a concept rooted in Bombay’s local drinking dens, served in 180ml bottles paired with crunchy “Chakhnas” (Bar Nibbles) to munch on. Signature Pauwas include Jamun Bazaar, Mango Masti, and Santra Mantra.

The food menu is thoughtfully designed to take one on a thorough culinary journey across India, with dishes and ingredients from different parts of the country. One can find something for brunch, luncheon, evening drinks, or dinner. The menu focuses on flavors that have never been tried before, lending a modern twist to traditional recipes to suit today’s tastes. We use regionally sourced ingredients, like aam papad from Amritsar, kashundi from Bengal, thecha from Maharashtra, podi from Andhra, and malwani masala from the Konkan belt. After much research and trial, the menu showcases recipes from across India that are unique.

Small Plates include Avocado and Anar Pakwan Crisp, Gongura Chicken with Dosai, and Corn Scramble with Kadak Toast.
