Coolest Watering Holes and Restaurants To Spend Your Weekend At

SAMBAR

Replacing Loca Loca in Khar comes the quirky cool South Indian restro-bar, SamBar, which is Mumbai’s first as they say. Kick started by Pragnesh Rai – a South Indian himself – at the end of 2016, the bar is the perfect place to grab a drink after a long day’s work.

Step into SamBar to be struck by its eminent quirky decor. From vibrant hand-painted murals of Sam Anna – the fictitious South Indian party animal, to the lungi clad waiters that roam the halls…the place expresses eccentricity at its best. But don’t let the funky vibe deceive you into thinking that it doesn’t take its food seriously. The restro-bar serves a diverse menu, teleporting you straight to its Keralan shores and Mangalorean homes. Start off with the chicken sukkha supplemented with an appam, malabari parantha or the crispy kori churuttu. Also try the kori roti and the meen pollichuttu which is fish wrapped in a banana leaf.

While this may be Pragnesh’s first full-fledged venture, the owner is keeping the buzz going, with its special nights. Expect Rajnikanth happy hours, South Indian movie nights and outdoor music sessions.

Drink up Try the rasam mary which is their take on the bloody mary. The filter coffee here becomes capi madras, the classic martini gets a punch as the curry martini and your favourite pina colada defaced as the anna colada. Whatever you may choose, make sure you end the night with a payasam shot!
