Select outposts of the five establishments in the Impresario Handmade Restaurants group - Social, antiSocial, Smoke House Deli, Ishaara and Flea Bazaar Cafe - which are operational in Mumbai’s mills and malls will be open till 4am starting January 27, 2020.
While alcohol will be on offer until 1:30am only, Social is curating a special midnight menu, which will be available till 4am. It will comprise Mumbai street food, which will be quick and affordable.
Smoke House Deli and Flea Bazaar Cafe will be serving their full menus till 4am. The restaurants will be offering late-night deliveries till 4am.
Riyaaz Amlani, chief executive officer and managing director, Impresario Handmade Restaurants and former president, National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), is optimistic about the changing model of Mumbai.
“When it comes to all the restaurants under the Impresario Handmade Restaurants umbrella, we are excited to welcome this change to Mumbai’s afterhours economy,” he stated.
“With the state government recognising the true potential that Mumbai’s hospitality sector holds, this gives us a chance to embrace the consumer without deadlines. Upholding the respect and confidence of all the neighbourhoods we are present in, this move will be beneficial for everyone,” Amlani added.
“What’s more, we are ensuring we follow all safety norms and strictly enforcing the no-alcohol post 1:30am rule. Our female employees will also be given after-hours drops home,” he said.
Amlani held the prestigious presidentship of NRAI between September 2014 and September 2017. Way ahead of his time while he was the president, he planted the seeds for malls and eateries to stay open for a longer duration and flagged a new idea of a 24x7 Mumbai.
With a strong opinion that this move would boost Indian tourism and create multiple employment opportunities across the F&B sector, he was positive even then that this model could be replicated across India.
Discussing this with every government body across all cities, NRAI had also met Aditya Thackeray back then. He understood why it was important and how beneficial nightlife was for the city, and stated, “I don’t understand how something that is legal in the day becomes illegal by night.”
Amlani holds an important role in making this dream a reality and has started taking the necessary steps to capitalise on the move.
Celebrating the decision that he laid the foundation for, a plan of action has been laid for all the restaurants under the Impresario Handmade Restaurants umbrella to take full advantage of the new ruling.
