Muro Mezz Redefines Cocktail Culture with Musings 2.0 and Bold Asian Bar Bites

Published on June 26, 2025

Bengaluru’s discerning cocktail crowd has a new address—and it’s hiding in plain sight. Nestled on Museum Road, Muro Mezz unveils Musings 2.0, a bold new cocktail menu that signals a quiet but confident transformation: from a stylish upstairs bar to a mood-driven, cocktail-first destination.

No grand renovation. Just sharp intent and a menu that speaks in flavour, texture, and nuance.

“The bar has always been there,” says Niharika Raval, Co-Founder of Muro, “but now it has a story to tell. Musings 2.0 is our way of starting a deeper conversation—between the glass, the plate, and the guest.”

The new cocktail offerings are anything but ordinary. From the rebellious El Mariachi, which blends tequila with Doritos and salsa, to the dessert-turned-drink Mango Sticky Rice, this is a menu designed to surprise. Sweet Chin Music ends with coconut namelaka and a delicate lavash, while highballs like Coffee Pandan Rum and Melon Cream Soda are triple-carbonated and rested at –21°C to achieve pristine flavour and mouthfeel.

Even the zero-proof drinks make an impression—the Garibaldi features nitro-charged orange juice for a creamy, velvety finish without alcohol.

Pairing these cocktails is a sharp new bar bites menu, drawing inspiration from Thai and Cantonese street food. Expect the likes of sesame prawn toast, a single charcoal-grilled duck meatball, or a flaky, spice-laden curry puff. Each plate is designed not to fill, but to echo and amplify what’s in your glass—creating a back-and-forth of bold, surprising pairings.

“At Muro Mezz, food and drink are in constant conversation—sharp, aromatic, and intentionally unexpected,” says Niharika. “The idea was to create something that doesn’t overwhelm, but constantly invites you back in.”

The experience flows from morning to night. Downstairs, Muro Café offers serene Asian-inspired breakfasts, before transitioning into MURO—a refined lunch and dinner space showcasing Thai and Cantonese cuisine. But once the sun sets, the mood shifts: upstairs comes alive with the Musings 2.0 menu, giving serious drinkers and curious explorers a space to slow down, sip, and savour.

Muro Mezz isn’t just Bengaluru’s newest cocktail bar. It’s a thoughtful, flavour-led experience for those who seek more—where every sip and bite is calibrated for tension, temperature, and memory.

Faasos Introduces Paratha Burger, Blending Desi Flavours with a Global Favourite

Faasos Introduces Paratha Burger, Blending Desi Flavours with a Global Favourite

By Hariharan U

Published on November 13, 2026

Faasos, a food brand from Rebel Foods, has introduced its Paratha Burger range, combining the familiar format of a burger with the flaky, layered texture of lachha paratha. Available across 20 cities in India from November 12, 2026, the launch gives a distinctly Indian interpretation to a globally popular fast-food favourite.

Instead of conventional burger buns, the new range uses lachha paratha as its outer layer, enclosing flavourful patties, generous fillings and indulgent sauces. Described by the brand as having a “flaky outside, freaky inside” format, the product is positioned as a loaded burger experience rather than a wrap, roll or stuffed paratha.

The range features six vegetarian and non-vegetarian options across three flavour profiles: Teriyaki, Chipotle and Hot Garlic.

The non-vegetarian selection includes Teriyaki Chicken Dynamite, Chipotle Chicken Blast and Hot Garlic Chicken. The vegetarian options are Teriyaki Paneer Dynamite, OG Chipotle and Hot Garlic Manchurian.

Commenting on the launch, Mohit Mahajan, AVP – Marketing, Rebel Foods, said, “At Rebel Foods, product innovation is about finding new ways to make familiar food formats exciting for consumers. With the Paratha Burger, we have brought together the flaky, layered goodness of Indian lachha paratha with the bold, globally inspired flavours of a burger. The idea was to create something that feels familiar yet new, combining the comfort of a desi favourite with the indulgence of a loaded burger. The pilot across Mumbai and NCR is helping us understand the consumer response to the flavours that resonate the most with them. Our focus remains on expanding our offerings and bringing exciting food experiences to consumers across India.”

The flavour combinations range from the sweet and savoury notes of Teriyaki to the smoky profile of Chipotle and the sharper, more pronounced flavours of Hot Garlic. The concept builds on the appeal of familiar food formats while introducing new textures and internationally inspired flavour combinations.

Customers can order the Faasos Paratha Burger at a promotional price of ₹169. The launch also includes Buy One Get One (BOGO) offers and specially curated combos.

The introduction of the Paratha Burger adds another format to Faasos' menu innovation efforts, bringing together an Indian flatbread and the structure of a burger. The range also reflects the brand's approach of adapting familiar food experiences through new combinations of ingredients, textures and flavours.
