After a successful run in Baner, The Gulmohar Bar & Curry House has unveiled its new address in Koregaon Park, Lane 7, bringing its signature blend of contemporary Indian food and nostalgia-driven cocktails to one of Pune’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. The new space reflects the brand’s philosophy of everyday comfort, regional diversity and familiar flavours, designed for both relaxed downtime and lively celebrations.
Owned by Harsh Agarwal and Umang Bhimrajka, the 3,000 sq. ft. outlet seats up to 120 guests and is envisioned as a warm, easygoing escape in the heart of the city. Speaking about the opening, Harsh Agarwal, Co-Founder, said, “The name Gulmohar is drawn from what the tree itself represents - simplicity with quiet grandeur, an icon deeply rooted in memory. Much like its season of bloom, The Gulmohar stands for nostalgia, good times and moments meant to be shared and returned to."
Umang Bhimrajka, Co-Founder, added, “The Gulmohar is a comfortable, proudly Indian space you can return to often, whether for downtime or celebration. The space is designed to fit into the rhythm of your week, not just your weekend.”
Designed by Natasha and Parzan Daruwala of Studio 1658, Bandra, the Koregaon Park outlet draws inspiration from Pune’s laid-back, unpretentious character while staying rooted in The Gulmohar’s Indian ethos. The interiors feature an earthy palette of greens, terracotta accents, natural stone, teak, bamboo and exposed brick, creating a space that feels warm, familiar and lived-in.
The design also reflects the influence of late architect Geoffrey Bawa, seen in the seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, relaxed spatial planning and custom furniture and artworks inspired by his tropical modern sensibility.
The menu, curated by award-winning Chef Shailendra Kekade, celebrates the depth and diversity of Indian regional cuisine through a contemporary lens. Moving beyond conventional North-South boundaries, the menu brings together familiar flavours, regional techniques and thoughtful reinterpretations crafted for everyday dining.
The Chaat section sets the tone with playful yet rooted dishes such as kale and spicy peach chaat, inspired by palak patta chaat, and Wai Thai Noodles, a bhel-style preparation using Wai Wai noodles layered with street-style Asian flavours. The Salad section balances indulgence and restraint, with Burrata and Bhang standing out for its combination of fresh burrata, mixed lettuce and hemp seed chutney.
Small chakhna-style tapas draw from street food and home kitchens across India. Highlights include Kaju Usali with Goli Baje, a coastal preparation flavoured with coconut, curry leaves and mustard seeds served alongside crisp Mangalorean fritters, and Kharda Mutton, a rustic Maharashtrian dish presented in a refined small-plate format.
The Nosh section focuses on appetisers from the tandoor and grill, featuring kathal seekh kebab, galoutis inspired by Lucknow’s streets, pathar ka murgh and a homestead-style Bombay Duck. Anchoring the menu is the Curry House Extravaganza, where Indian classics sit alongside South East Asian curries adapted to suit Indian palates. Standout dishes include Nihari, Gongura Mamsam, roasted pineapple Sri Lankan curry and Bengali Sorshe Maach.
A progressive approach to health runs through the menu, with most breads and biryanis prepared using millets, adding depth of flavour while keeping wellness in focus. Speaking about the food philosophy, Chef Shailendra Kekade said, “The Gulmohar is meant to feel like a small break in the middle of the city. The food celebrates regional Indian flavours in a way that feels familiar, light and easy to enjoy every day.”
Complementing the dining experience is Guls Café, offering a compact café menu with India-inspired sandos and a focused filter coffee programme, served daily till the evening.
The cocktail programme is a defining element of The Gulmohar experience, built around ingredients sourced from across Indian states and united by nostalgia. Global cocktail formats are reinterpreted through Indian flavours to create drinks that connect emotionally before impressing technically.
Misti Doi, inspired by a martini, uses fat-washed Misti Doi gin for a gently tangy, comforting finish. Malgudi Days draws from toddy shops and slower times, crafted with house-fermented coconut wine. Magai, a paan-infused gin cocktail, is an ode to late-night drives and familiar roadside paan stops. Coastal Trip blends tequila with kokum and amla, recalling school-day memories of kokum sharbat and salt-and-pepper amla from local carts across Maharashtra and the coastal belt.
With its new Koregaon Park address, The Gulmohar Bar & Curry House continues to build on its vision of offering contemporary Indian dining that feels rooted, relaxed and deeply personal.
