Every detail, from Scandinavian-inspired design to curated playlists and handcrafted menus, is aimed at making people feel at home while discovering something new every visit.

Chef & Co-Founder Soham Joshi adds, At Bae was born to innovate familiar flavours, taking authentic regional dishes and giving them a contemporary twist. From Poha Crusted Malvani Prawns to Palak Burrata, we strike a balance between creativity and comfort. Each cocktail mirrors the same spirit of experimentation found in our menu.

The food menu celebrates global inspiration with a desi heart, featuring dishes like Malabari Tacos, Thecha Hummus with Mirgunda, and wood-fired pizzas. At Bae is more than food, it’s a destination to connect, unwind, and belong. Here, BAE can be anyone — a friend, family, loved one, or even the space itself.
