The editorial take
Eight named cocktails include the Himalayan Negroni, Chai Whiskey Smash, and Badam Old Fashioned, mostly $8-$14. The nonalcoholic side is unusually developed, with named mocktails, lassi, falooda, and chai, plus an option to add a liquor for $4. Wine, beer, and spirits round out the program with broad but conventional coverage.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Himalayan Negroni, a gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth drink with Himalayan salted gin and dehydrated orange bitters. The Chai Whiskey Smash and Badam Old Fashioned show the whiskey side, while the Mango Mirchi Margarita brings tequila, fresh mango, green chili, lime, and a Tajin rim. For a nonalcoholic route, the Kesar Almond Cooler or Royal Indigo Falooda.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want cocktails built on Indian spices and ingredients rather than a standard bar list, and anyone seeking a serious nonalcoholic option with named mocktails, lassi, falooda, and chai.
