Coolest Watering Holes and Restaurants To Spend Your Weekend At

VERSOVA SOCIAL

Chocolate Chutzpah

Chatkara

Marking the eighth in Mumbai and 16th pan-India outpost of Riyaaz Amlani’s Social brand that has quickly and surely established a stronghold over the country’s nightlife, this sprawling three-story property is the talk of the town. Designed to resemble a Victorian greenhouse, it features mangrove vines on a raw structure, lush courtyards on multiple levels and a number of corners that reflect varying moods. Walk up the trippy staircase – the walls of which have a print that spells out ‘aa’ in Hindi to welcome you and ‘jaa’ when you walk back down to leave – and a classy space greets you replete with cozy upholstery, grand armchairs, chandeliers, wooden decor, wall micro gardens and a large bar. If the open-air cafe area on the same floor is full, one can head further upstairs to the terrace, which has its own bar.

As always, the large food menu is reliable, quirky and authentic, featuring regular favourites like gunpowder calamari and Black Label butter chicken alongside new dishes like the killer kebab plate, basil and thyme paneer tikka and Jose’s jalapeno chicken tikka.

Drink up Embrace the happy-go-lucky vibes with the tadi colada and tropical mojito or let your taste buds tingle with the Shimla mirch martini, aacharoska, coke and cane, and the striking cosmo explosion. Also on offer here are the brand-new Social house wines, of which the red is our favourite.

Quirk fest If you like unique decor as much as we do, go crazy at the ‘Social maal ki dukaan’ on the ground floor and pick up the brand’s trademark thandi beer glass set, davaa daaru shot bottles or the cutting chai set.
