EVE Arrives in Santacruz: A Stunning New Culinary Destination Unveiled

Published on February 24, 2025

Monarch Liberty Hospitality and Chrome Asia Hospitality proudly announce the opening of Eve's latest outpost in Santacruz. Following the success of its Powai and Worli locations, Eve Santacruz is set to redefine upscale dining with its signature blend of bold flavors, immersive design, and vibrant energy.

With Eve, the focus has always been on blending culinary innovation with breathtaking design, creating spaces where people don't just dine but truly experience. More than just a restaurant, Eve is an experience, seamlessly blending global cuisine, masterfully crafted cocktails, and an ambiance that personifies elegance. With a design aesthetic that is both sophisticated and inviting, Eve Santacruz is a space where every corner tells a story.

A winding staircase, lined with thousands of books, draws the eye upward, creating a striking visual and a sense of curiosity. This architectural centerpiece, coupled with warm lighting, rich textures, and thoughtfully designed seating, transforms the space into a haven for both intimate dinners and lively social gatherings.

The menu at Eve Santacruz is an ode to global culinary craftsmanship, featuring dishes that balance refined flavors with artistic presentation. From truffle parmesan fries and miso-glazed black cod to lobster risotto and charred burrata with heirloom tomatoes, every plate is designed to captivate the senses. The restaurant's commitment to quality shines through the premium ingredients, expert techniques, and attention to detail that go into every dish, making each meal a true gastronomic experience.

No visit to Eve is complete without indulging in its expertly crafted cocktails, which elevate the art of mixology. The bar program features contemporary classics with a bold twist, such as the Eve Martini infused with house botanicals, the citrus-forward Santorini Sunset, the smoked Old Fashioned, and the floral Midnight Bloom. With every pour and garnish, the bar team ensures that each drink is a masterpiece in both taste and presentation, perfectly complementing the energy of the space and the food.

Beyond food and drinks, Eve Santacruz is designed to be a space for every occasion. Whether it's a laid-back brunch, an indulgent dinner, or a high-energy night out, the ambiance evolves with the mood. Carefully curated playlists and live music nights enhance the experience, creating a setting that is as dynamic as it is refined. With a blend of cozy nooks for intimate gatherings and expansive spaces for lively celebrations, Eve adapts effortlessly to its guests' needs, making it a destination that feels personal yet endlessly exciting.

Eve Santacruz is set to carry forward the legacy of Eve Powai and Eve Worli, both of which have redefined premium dining with a blend of vintage charm and contemporary vibrancy. The inspiration behind Eve Santacruz stems from the success of its predecessors, which identified a gap in the market for a space that seamlessly merges exquisite food, stylish ambiance, and a homely yet luxurious experience. With its upcoming launch, Eve Santacruz aims to bring the same 'feel-good' factor to its customers, whether for a relaxed coffee break, a business lunch, or a lively evening with friends over cocktails. The restaurant's concept is rooted in offering a diverse culinary experience, innovative cocktails, and an aesthetically rich setting that makes it an Instagram-worthy destination. By expanding to Santacruz, Eve continues its mission of creating a unique F&B space that is welcoming, sophisticated, and perfect for all occasions.

Bringing Eve Santacruz to life was an exciting yet challenging journey. One hurdle was positioning Eve in a highly competitive F&B landscape while maintaining its signature charm. Santacruz has an evolving dining scene, and we wanted to ensure that Eve stood out as more than just another restaurant—it had to feel like a home away from home, just like our outlets in Powai and Worli. Expanding to a new location also meant ensuring brand consistency while allowing room for innovation. Eve Santacruz stays true to its multi-cuisine, feel-good concept but brings in menu enhancements and subtle design elements that cater to the Santacruz crowd. The goal was to create a space that feels familiar to our loyal patrons while also drawing in new customers with fresh offerings.

"With Eve Santacruz, we're not just launching another restaurant—we're bringing an experience that feels both timeless and contemporary," says Sumit Govind Sharma, Founder & Director of Monarch Liberty Hospitality. "From the way the space is designed to the way our menu and cocktails are crafted, everything is curated to transport our guests into a world of refined indulgence, warmth, and connection," says Pawan Mukesh Shahri - co-founder and CEO of Chrome Hospitality

As Monarch Liberty Hospitality and Chrome Asia Hospitality expand their footprint across Mumbai, Eve Santacruz stands as a testament to their vision of growth, expansion, and a commitment to curating luxurious dining experiences.
