Goregaon's dining scene has welcomed a new gem, Baliboo, that promises to whisk you away to a paradise like no other. Baliboo isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience that transports you to the tropics, enveloping you in a modern yet inviting ambiance that exudes warmth and hospitality.
At the helm of Baliboo are Divya Kadam and Kedar Shetty, both extraordinary individuals in their own right. Fueled by an unwavering aspiration to craft a space where individuals can liberate themselves from their daily routines and partake in moments of indulgence, they envisioned and brought to life Baliboo—an embodiment of the very essence of a tropical paradise. Divya Kadam, a true embodiment of passion and creativity, possesses a profound love for hospitality that breathes life into every aspect of Baliboo. With a keen eye for innovation, she tirelessly seeks to elevate guest experiences, ensuring each moment is unforgettable. On the other hand, Kedar Shetty of Blabber brings his expertise, complementing Divya's vision perfectly.
Crafted by Right Brain Design, the restaurant's layout seamlessly merges contemporary elements with a warm ambiance, creating an inviting haven for patrons. Infused with the essence of Bali's lush flora and fauna, the interior boasts a serene colour palette and abundant natural light. The dining area, adorned with soft ambient lighting, shares space with a dynamic high-energy bar, while a captivating 3D mural and a striking Elephant statue, embodying the spirit of wildlife, lend visual intrigue. Cascading linen and bamboo chandeliers add a touch of tranquil elegance, and the extensive use of glass invites the outdoors in, all united to cocoon visitors in comfort within Baliboo's embrace.
Divya Kadam, the co-owner of Baliboo, enthusiastically reveals that "We aimed to craft an environment that immerses patrons in a peaceful ambiance, evoking the lush beauty of the tropics. Through a thoughtfully curated palette and captivating design elements, we've orchestrated an inviting space that perfectly complements Baliboo's diverse culinary offerings."
The menu brings together a delightful array of dishes that harmoniously blend Asian, Continental, and Indian inspirations to satisfy every palate. Start your meal with the Mockduck Al Pastor Tacos, where chipotle adobo-infused Mockduck meets salsa roja and guacamole for a taco revolution. Elevate your pasta experience with Tagliatelle Ragu, a truffle-scented twist on classic comfort. Unleash flavours that bridge East and West with the Hoisin Chicken Bao. The fragrant Balinese Curry, a coconut-infused delight enhanced by galangal and kaffir lime leaves and the opulent Malabar Biryani, uniting fragrant rice, spices, and slow-cooked perfection in a true South Indian treasure are few dishes you have to try from their large plates selection. To round off your meal, indulge in tempting dessert options that span from classics like Tiramisu and Matilda Chocolate Cake to inventive delights like Tres Leches. In addition to this, guests can explore an enticing variety of flavorful sushis and dimsums, delectable tartines and sandos, tantalising pasta creations, and much more.
Baliboo stands firmly committed to inclusivity, with thoughtfully tailored vegetarian, vegan, and dietary-specific options, ensuring that everyone can indulge in the island-inspired flavours. Additionally, their strong connection to local sourcing enhances the community's culinary experience, evident in every delightful bite.
At Baliboo, there's a libation for every mood, ensuring your visit is a delightful and well-rounded experience. Their signature cocktails, like the enigmatic Scarlet, the mesmerising Rosetta, and the tropical delight, Pomme Melange, promise to transport you to a world of flavour. For a caffeine-infused twist, don't miss out on the Not A Bali Coffee. And if you're looking for a fiery kick, the Nachos Pecante is a spicy sensation. Connoisseurs of classic cocktails will find solace in their Whisky Sour, Negroni, and Daiquiri. Their selection of mocktails includes the refreshing Snow Berry, the Cinematic Break, and the elegant Rouge Frappe, offering a non-alcoholic journey through taste.
