Derby has launched its flagship outlet at BKC here on Tuesday. Dating back to the origin of horse races in Derbyshire, England, the word ‘Derby’ (pronounced DAR-bee) is defined as a sporting contest between local rivals. Bringing to one’s table, a number of such diverse staking races, this eater-tainment hub enables one to compete and bid on games and events simulated virtually by their Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven software.
The wins from the events will assist the guests to earn reward points via the Derby app. Guests can earn discounts on their bill. The app for phones also offers guests a chance to experience the visual appeal of the food and cocktails on offer.
With a colourful setting paired with old style layered brick walls, and blue and white striped floors, the decor exudes that of a race-course. The DJ Apron is roused by the front of a horse stable, whereas the back has metallic letters with the bulbs reading ‘Ride your luck.’
It’s table tops, an amalgamation of solid colours, wood and prints, along with custom created artefacts like the playing cards artwork, the shadow box (inspired from the demolition derby), and the geodesic horse sculpture, give the place a proper middle of a bet like feel. The restaurant dons a casual yet classic look, with its elegant seating lit up by tasteful chandeliers and lights.
Curated by chef Mitesh Rangras, the place has on offer Chirashi with Salmon smoked table side, Wayanad Pepper Chicken, Pulled Jackfruit Bao, and Chicken Jalapeno Tikka with Queso. Adding flair to the menu, globally inspired dishes such as Seared Tuna with Truffle Mayo on Sushi Rice, Gnocchi Ceylon, Vietnamese Prawns and Mediterranean Bowl are the other specialities.
Desserts include Silken Hazelnut and Milk Chocolate Mousse, an array of homemade ice creams including Honey Avocado, Real Hazelnut, Caramel & Cheese Popcorn flavours, and the unique Thandai Tiramisu. With celebrity mixologist Mariki Sayles at the bar, the menu comprises enticing cocktails.
“We are thrilled to bring such a new concept to the table; we have made sure that every guest that comes here gets a break from the monotonous dining experience. Hence we have conceptualised Derby in a manner that keeps them entertained too. With guests having constantly interactive events to participate in, and awarding them with rewards in return, we are sure that this place can be their next favourite middle-of-the-day break spot,” comments Saloni Rupani, founder, Derby.
