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.

Delhi just got a new street food gem! Galli Gully Cafe, a spirited, street-inspired café by Meenakshi Kumar, the force behind Roots Café, has opened its first outlet in Zamrudpur, near GK 1’s N Block Market.
Open from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM daily (with plans to extend hours soon), the cafe is rooted in the idea of turning everyday Indian gallis into flavour-packed, joyful, and inclusive food spaces.
"After creating Roots Café, I wanted to do something bolder—more street, more soul", says Meenakshi Kumar, founder and chef. “Galli Gully is our love letter to Indian street food—and a safe space for women, queer, and trans folks to reclaim the dining experience”.
Galli Gully doesn’t hold back on flavour or flair. The menu brings a playful twist to familiar favourites, Bun Maska Chutney Bhujia, Keema Maggi, Aloo Tikki with Green Apple Chutney, and the crowd-favourite Gully Chicken Roll with Gunpowder Mayo. Want something spicy and addictive? Try the Sambal Chilli Fries. Their drinks are equally creative with Iced Orange Filter Coffee and Chatori Cold Brew standing out.
The cafe’s vibe is cheeky, loud, and full of life, think neon signs, funky tiles, desi-style wall quotes, vintage posters, and colourful stools that invite lingering chats and laughs. It’s a visual and sensory experience, a little bit tapri, a little bit TikTok, and all heart.
To celebrate the opening, the cafe is offering a Galli Welcome Combo, a roll, fries, and drink at a special price for the first two weeks. Looking ahead, they plan to host queer artist nights, slam poetry, and pop-ups with home chefs, keeping the vibe fresh and community-driven.
Meenakshi sums it up best: "Galli Gully is not just about food, it’s about belonging. It’s for everyone who’s ever felt ‘too much’ at the table. Here, you're celebrated. You’re seen. You’re fed".
So if you’re looking for food with soul and a place that feels like home, welcome to Galli Gully Cafe.

As Rakshabandhan draws near on August 9, the search for thoughtful, tasteful gifting takes centre stage. This year, Klava, India’s first boutique baklava brand, invites you to sidestep the traditional with its Premium Assorted Baklava Box, an elegant, vegetarian alternative to conventional Indian sweets.
Handcrafted with finesse and packed with flavour, the 500g assorted box is a luxurious mix of time-honoured Middle Eastern confection and modern Indian aesthetics. It features:
Pistachio Baklava – Nutty, fragrant, and satisfyingly classic
Walnut & Cashew Baklava – Comforting, rich, and nostalgic

Each piece is delicately layered with ultra-thin golden phyllo pastry, subtly sweetened, and crowned with premium nuts sourced from Gaziantep, Turkey, known as the gold standard of pistachios.
With festive tables often crowded with mithai staples like laddoos and barfis, Klava’s baklava stands apart as a sophisticated gift, a box of celebration, elegance, and culinary storytelling. Available in the beautifully wrapped box is 100% vegetarian and available in-store or via phone reservations.
