Mumbai’s beloved culinary haven, Lovefools, is back with yet another delightful twist — introducing Lunchish, a creative daytime dining experience that bends the rules of traditional mealtimes. Nestled in a charming Bandra lane, Lovefools invites diners to explore this flavourful new journey that’s not quite brunch, not quite lunch — and never boring.
Between that first sip of coffee and your evening cocktail, Lunchish offers a comforting yet adventurous pause — a mid-day moodboard of flavors blending nostalgia, wanderlust, and a generous dose of culinary rebellion.
Chef Sarita Pereira explains the inspiration behind the idea:
“We wanted to break this whole box format of breakfast, lunch & brunch. The Lunchish menu isn’t bound by time — it tastes just as satisfying at 11 AM as it does at 4 PM.”
Each dish on the Lunchish menu tells a unique story of global influence and emotional warmth:
The Jay Fai Bucket List: A gluten-free crab fried omelette meets Kerala moilee curry — bridging Bangkok’s street food with India’s coastal flavors.
Sawadee Mango Toast: Fresh mango slices, Thai chili-lime papaya salad, and peanut dressing create a tangy twist on the usual toast.
Mexican Khichu: Gujarat’s classic comfort dish gets a makeover with jalapeños, raw mango salsa, and crunchy paprika cornflakes.
Panji to Pattaya: Thai fermented noodles paired with Goan prawn or fish curry, coconut milk, mangoes, and tropical fruits — a true East-meets-West fusion.
Katsu 'Curry' Benedict: Crispy katsu chicken on brioche, topped with a poached egg, Japanese curry hollandaise, and crispy spinach — a Tokyo-inspired take on brunch.
From global mashups to nostalgic flavors, each plate is a playful expression of Lovefools’ ethos — slow, honest cooking filled with creativity, comfort, and emotion.
Lunchish is for the late risers, the dreamers, and the flavor chasers, served from 11 AM to 4 PM, Tuesday to Friday. No reservations needed — just follow your appetite.
Where: C14, 525, Ranwar, Bandra West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400050 When: Tuesday to Friday, 11 AM – 4 PM (Closed on Mondays)

Bagelstein, the celebrated French bagel brand known for its artisanal offerings and irreverent charm, has officially launched its first Indian outlet at the Ground Floor Atrium, Nexus Mall, Kukatpally, Hyderabad. This marks the beginning of Bagelstein’s journey in India through a partnership with Franchise India, the official master franchiser, with ambitious plans to roll out more than 100 outlets across the country by 2029.
Founded in Strasbourg in 2011 by Thierry Veil and Gilles Abecassis, Bagelstein has grown into a cult favourite across Europe, operating 107 stores across France, Italy, Luxembourg, and Switzerland. Popular among Gen Z for its bold personality, edgy humour, and out-of-the-box store ambience, Bagelstein offers more than just fresh, hand-rolled bagels—it’s an entire lifestyle experience. Each outlet blends quirky décor with a menu that creatively reimagines traditional favourites.
At the heart of Bagelstein’s menu are its distinctively flavoured bagels, crafted with an unmistakable artisanal touch. Highlights include the Halloumi Bagel, loaded with grilled halloumi, onion relish, cream cheese, cheddar, and crisp lettuce, and the Josephine Bagel, a hearty mix of falafel, hummus, pickled onions, tomato, and lettuce. All bagels are baked fresh on-site—steering clear of cold storage and heavy cooking equipment to focus on quality ingredients and efficient preparation.
The brand also charms visitors with its sassy wall art, playful placards, and an ambience designed for fun, turning a simple meal into a lively experience. Social media favourites like the Mango & Banana Smoothie and Strawberry Iced Tea have further amplified Bagelstein’s cult following, helping it resonate with audiences well beyond Europe.
"India presents a strategic growth and exciting opportunity for us, and we are delighted to introduce our delicious blend of French charm and cuisine to Hyderabad," said Thierry Veil, Founder & CEO of Bagelstein. "Our master franchise partner, Franchise India, plays a vital role in our blueprint expansion across the country."
The Hyderabad outlet offers Indian guests Bagelstein’s signature line-up of gourmet bagels, specialty coffee, and a lively café atmosphere that fuses Parisian chic with local cultural touches. This launch underscores the evolving Indian QSR landscape, meeting the growing appetite for international dining experiences with flair and personality.
Muro Mezz, located above MURO on Museum Road, has officially transformed its upstairs bar into a cocktail-first destination with the launch of the Musings 2.0 menu. Paired with Thai and Cantonese-inspired bar bites, the space now speaks to drinkers who crave more than just a good drink — it caters to mood, memory, and multi-sensory storytelling.
From tequila infused with Doritos and salsa in El Mariachi to a cocktail version of Mango Sticky Rice topped with textured sweetness, the Musings 2.0 menu goes beyond the expected. Other standouts include Sweet Chin Music that finishes with coconut namelaka and lavash, and carbonated highballs like Coffee Pandan Rum and Melon Cream Soda, triple-carbonated and chilled to perfection at -21°C. Even non-alcoholic options like the Garibaldi, using nitro-charged orange juice, deliver complexity and surprise.
Each cocktail is paired with vibrant small plates like sesame prawn toast, charcoal-grilled duck meatball, and curry puffs, echoing the energy of Thai and Cantonese street food. The pairings are crafted to complement the drinks, offering contrast, texture, and flavour that engage beyond the plate.
“At Muro Mezz, food and drink are in constant conversation — sharp, aromatic, and intentionally unexpected,” says Niharika Raval, Co-Founder, Muro. “The bar bites were thoughtfully designed to complement our cocktails, creating a seamless and layered experience.”
By day, Muro Café welcomes guests with serene, Asian-inspired breakfasts in a relaxed setting. By noon, it transforms into MURO, serving refined Thai-Cantonese cuisine. But from 7 pm, the scene shifts upstairs to Muro Mezz, where flavours grow bolder and cocktails take centre stage.
This is not just another night out — it’s a mood-driven experience for the curious and the conscious, built around timing, texture, tension, and taste.
Location: MURO, Museum Road
Hours: 12 PM – 12 AM
Muro Mezz Menu Timing: Served Upstairs from 7 PM onwards.
