Nestled on the picturesque shores of Muscat, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah is elevating its culinary and leisure offerings with the introduction of SiO2 The Beach Lounge, poised to become the city's premier beachfront destination. This new addition complements the resort's 13 existing dining venues, offering guests an unparalleled feet-in-the-sand experience amidst the stunning backdrop of the Gulf of Oman.
Conceptualized by Area General Manager Rene D. Egle, SiO2 draws inspiration from the elemental beauty of its coastal setting, featuring a design that harmonizes with the natural environment. The lounge's name, SiO2, reflects the composition of quartz, silicon, and oxygen, mirroring the sandy shores it overlooks. Elegantly set on the edge of Al Bandar hotel's 500m long beach, SiO2 promises to be Muscat's hotspot for unforgettable afternoons and evenings.
The lounge's aesthetic combines contemporary island beach vibes with the majestic views of the Hajar mountains, creating a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. Guests can relax in the rattan cozy lounge, surrounded by white drapes, and indulge in a menu that revives the senses. The creative selection of cocktails and mocktails, inspired by the four elements of nature – fire, water, earth, and air – are designed to enhance the guest experience. Signature drinks like the "Above the Clouds" and "The Flying Bird" feature unique ingredients such as frankincense for a mythical touch.
SiO2's à la carte offering, available daily from 5pm until 1am, includes a range of light bites like hot and cold Mezze, arancini, and prawn tempura, perfectly complementing the beverage selections. For shisha enthusiasts, SiO2 provides a special opportunity to enjoy this tradition by the beach, further enhancing the leisure experience.
Adding to the ambiance, the lounge's resident DJ sets the mood with chill-out and acoustic beats, alongside seasonal entertainment throughout the year. With no entrance fee for diners, SiO2 invites everyone to immerse in Muscat's laid-back charm, where nature, entertainment, and gastronomy merge for an unmatched seaside escape.
"SiO2 The Beach Lounge represents our commitment to not just offering a beach lounge, but an experience that encapsulates the essence of luxury and relaxation," shared Rene D. Egle. "SiO2 is not just a place; it’s a feeling, a destination where the rhythm of the night meets the tranquility of the sea."
Located at Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah, Muscat, SiO2 The Beach Lounge is open daily from 5pm to 1am, featuring live entertainment, an A la Carte menu, and shisha options. Sunset Rosé Apéro, offering a 30% discount on the Rosé collection of beverages, takes place daily from 5pm to 6pm, inviting guests to enjoy the dramatic sunset views in style.

SOCIAL, India’s favourite neighbourhood café, has unveiled its latest culinary celebration—the ‘Mumbai Local Heroes’ menu, a bold tribute to the city’s vibrant street food culture. Now available across all 17 SOCIAL outlets in Mumbai, the menu brings together nostalgic dishes with a SOCIAL twist, paying homage to the rich flavours and iconic food moments of Mumbai.
Drawing inspiration from the city’s beloved street vendors and timeless recipes, the curated menu reimagines local classics into something bold, modern, and unmistakably Mumbai.
From Samosa Bhakarwadi with Thecha, a fiery fusion of flaky samosa filling and spicy thecha, to the cheesy and indulgent Beet(root) That Toastie with garlic chutney, each dish is crafted to awaken memories and taste buds. Kothimbir Vadi, served with coconut chutney, and Crispy Chana Garlic, with golden Kabuli chana, are the perfect crunchy companions.
Meat lovers can dig into Kandivali Fried Chicken paired with mint chutney or the adventurous Pohe Bhujing—BBQ chicken with Savji-style poha. Seafood fans are in for a treat with East Indian Fish N Chips featuring rawa-fried bombil and banana chips, or Hirva Masala Zinga, prawns cooked in green thecha. The much-loved Prawns Koliwada and Kombadi Wade Kala Mutton Taco complete the meaty indulgence.
For a sweet finish, the Teen Leches Bread & Butter Pudding offers a Mumbai-style comfort dessert like no other.
“Mumbai's food culture is more than just a collection of flavors—it's a feeling, a memory, a shared experience that brings people together,” said Chef Glyston Gracias, City Chef - Mumbai, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt Ltd. “With the 'Mumbai Local Heroes' menu, we set out to honour these iconic flavours and reimagine them with a SOCIAL twist—something fresh, something unexpected, yet deeply rooted in the city's soul.”
Available all day, every day, the new menu is being served at SOCIAL’s 17 Mumbai locations including Colaba, Khar, Palladium, Carter Road, Vashi, Vikhroli, Versova, Malad, Chembur, Ghatkopar, New Cuffe Parade, Capital (BKC), Goregaon, Dadar, Nesco, Powai, and Thane.
This new offering is yet another example of SOCIAL’s deep connection with the neighbourhoods it serves—serving up food, memories, and the flavour of Mumbai on every plate.
Indiranagar has a new reason to raise a toast with the opening of BRICKS Bar & Kitchen, a laid-back rooftop bar that’s all about building great vibes and better connections. Conveniently located near the Domlur Flyover on 100ft Road, BRICKS steps away from the high-energy nightlife to offer a warm, community-focused space where locals can unwind multiple times a week.

Wrapped in lush greenery and accented with warm wooden interiors, the rooftop space balances comfort and style, making it perfect for after-work drinks, chilled weekends, or catching live music under the stars.

Guests can look forward to regular live bands, DJ nights, and major sporting screenings, making it a versatile venue that transitions effortlessly from weekday chill to weekend thrill.
Walk-ins are always welcome, and reservations can be made via Google, Zomato, Swiggy, or EazyDiner. For group bookings or direct inquiries, reach out at +91-78801 14295.
