Mumbai, the bustling financial heart of India, welcomes the second outpost of Bawri, an esteemed name in authentic Indian cuisine. Bawri BKC, situated in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex, promises a gastronomic journey curated by Chef Amninder Sandhu, blending traditional Indian tastes with contemporary culinary innovations.
Chef Amninder Sandhu, the creative force behind Bawri, has meticulously combined age-old cooking techniques with a modern twist. Bawri's open-fire cooking equipment and grills enhance the dining experience, allowing the true flavors of the food to shine through.
The menu at Bawri BKC is a vibrant tapestry reflecting Chef Amninder's heritage, featuring recipes and flavors from diverse regions of India. With a commitment to locally sourced produce and traditional cooking methods, Bawri ensures an authentic and soulful culinary adventure.
Chef Partner Amninder Sandhu shares her vision, stating, "When we started conceptualizing Bawri more than a year ago, we were extremely certain that it would have two key ingredients – traditions, rituals, and warmth that you would feel when you went over to your grandmother’s or relatives’ place. Bawri BKC will make you feel all this and much more. I couldn’t wait to launch in Mumbai and feel that same sense of soulfulness."
The design of Bawri BKC, envisioned by Muninder and Vishakha Chowdhary, pays homage to its Indian roots through carefully chosen materials and textures. A distinctive feature is the majestic step well-inspired wall, adding grandeur to the dining experience.
Sahil Sambhi, the Founder of Bawri, expresses excitement about bridging the gap for a casual Indian food restaurant in the bustling financial center of the city. Having successfully launched Bawri in Goa and BKC, he looks forward to taking the brand internationally in the coming months.
The culinary journey at Bawri BKC spans a diverse menu, from appetizers like Gucchi Stuffed Mushrooms to signature mains like Raan Biryani, showcasing the rich and varied flavors of Indian cuisine. The selection of breads, reflecting India's diverse grain culture, is complemented by a variety of sides and snacks.
To elevate the dining experience, expert mixologist Tim Etherington-Judge curates a cocktail menu featuring an innovative fusion of indigenous Indian fruits and spirits. Indulge in concoctions like Amla Ki and Star Sour, concluding your meal with a delightful selection of desserts.
Bawri BKC invites patrons not just for a meal but for an immersive cultural experience, celebrating the essence of India's culinary heritage in a modern and inviting setting.

In a significant move for the advancement of India's tourism and hospitality sector, the Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI) inaugurated its Centre of Excellence (CoE) at its headquarters. The event was graced by Shri Suman Billa, IAS, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, along with prominent industry leaders.
The FHRAI Centre of Excellence has been envisioned as a dedicated research hub, established to enhance the federation’s advocacy initiatives and contribute to data-driven decision-making in the tourism and hospitality space. Positioned as an industry think tank, the Centre will focus on generating valuable insights through research, aiming to influence policy development and foster a culture of innovation and excellence.
Shri Suman Billa emphasized the crucial role of data in the sector: “Research and data are indispensable for understanding the true scope and potential of tourism. While government data provides foundational insights, we need a multidimensional view to fully grasp the sector's dynamics. By integrating insights from industry bodies and international organizations like the World Tourism Organization, we can create a robust data ecosystem that guides both government and industry stakeholders.”
He added that the Centre of Excellence represents a collaborative approach to better understand the industry's impact on employment and GDP. “With accurate data, we can build a resilient framework that supports sustainable growth, enabling the sector to thrive in a competitive global market,” he remarked.
Pradeep Shetty, President of FHRAI, described the CoE as a landmark achievement for the tourism and hospitality industry in India. "This has been a long-standing aspiration for our federation. In our engagements with the government, we’ve often encountered challenges stemming from regulatory issues and the need for reliable data. The Centre of Excellence fills this gap by providing a structured framework for research and advocacy,” Shetty noted.
With the Centre’s resources, FHRAI aims to present well-supported, data-driven insights to policy-makers, addressing industry challenges and proposing informed recommendations for reform. "Our objective is to uplift the industry by equipping it to meet evolving consumer and stakeholder expectations,” he added.
Garish Oberoi of the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Northern India highlighted the role of the CoE in addressing the data shortage within the sector, especially in tackling policy bottlenecks. “Each region in India has unique challenges, which is why the Centre will focus on creating state-specific reports and assessments. Our team will work to produce white papers and analytical insights, fostering a foundation for data-driven decision-making,” Oberoi stated.
The CoE aims to provide accurate information to government and industry stakeholders, empowering FHRAI to advocate effectively for its members and advance the industry’s standards.
The launch of FHRAI's Centre of Excellence marks a forward step for India's tourism and hospitality industry. Focused on research, training, and advocacy, this initiative is set to elevate industry standards and tackle critical challenges. FHRAI remains committed to collaborative efforts with both industry members and government bodies, ensuring that the hospitality sector continues to meet the dynamic needs of consumers and professionals alike.
