Destination 72, a restaurant and lounge bar in the ATL Corporate Park on Saki Vihar Road, Andheri East, opened its doors recently. A flagship brand of Foodsense Hospitality, it is the brainchild of six mutli-ethnic business professionals, and has the tagline, Khana, Peena, Gaana, because it offers regional Indian food, themed cocktails and music.
Vinod Salian, director, Foodsense Hospitality, said, “We’re excited to introduce a space where locals and visitors can tap into the region’s roots and experience an atmosphere like never before.”
“It is our goal to provide a concept that displays the country’s rich culinary history in a one-of-a-kind way. We wish to build upon the allure of Mumbai’s boisterous nightlife through cocktails, music and sought-after events,” he added.
The menu offers large and satisfying portions of regional Indian, pan-Asian and international cuisines. Designed by consultant chef Sebastian Fernandes, the main menu brings to the table a unique blend of traditional cuisines, inspired by the diverse regions of northern, southern, eastern and western India.
The hearty afternoon and late evening menus are curated keeping in mind the intermittent work and life schedule of a diner. Destination 72 is an extraordinary combination of flavours, delicate seasonings and dominating tastes, making it the perfect destination, any time of the day or night.
Fernandes said, “The menu at Destination 72 is fresh and extensive designed to satisfy many different taste-buds. No compromises have been made – ensuring the use of well-sourced, seasonal ingredients to prepare dishes that exhibit India’s cultural diversity. The menu ranges from crave-worthy entrees and healthy options to wholesome Indian meals and local favourites from across the globe.”
Signature dishes include Lagan Ka Murgh, Methi Seghdana, Goat Curry Yakhani, Prawn Ghee Roast, Peking Chicken Dimsum, Grilled Masala Chicken Bao, Salmon Maki Roll, Cold Soba Noodle with Peanut Dressing, Button Mushroom Wasabi, Malaysian Randang Curry, Chilli Sausage Canopy, Herb Crusted Salmon, Grilled Tiger Prawns, Ricotta Cheese and Spinach Lasagna.
The restaurant, which covers a sprawling area of 6,000sq ft, is open between noon and 1:30am, and showcases a twist on all-day dining.
Vikrant Guptaa, director, Foodsense Hospitality said, “We bring you a stunning space offering an unconventional dining experience alongside a great menu of food and drink, and entertainment.”
“Clubbed with brilliant soundtracks and live DJs covering a span of genres from dance and commercial to house and retro music, Destination 72 will stage exceptional gigs for a transformative mood every night of the week,” he added.
Another talking point is the long, vibrant bar overlooking the mezzanine private dining room, a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy fabulous cocktails paired with scrumptious bar bites.
The delicious bar menu, curated by famed mixologist and bar consultant Naveen Kotyankar, comprises innovative and timelessly classic cocktails mixed with independently sourced liquor and a wide selection of refreshing mocktails.
A real highlight of the menu is the Prohibition-Era-theme-based cocktails like Negroni, Bourbon Sour, Ward Eight, Bees’ Knees and French Martini.
Kotyankar said, “A well-made cocktail is a perfect prelude to a great evening. This belief reflects in every handcrafted creation from the bar at Destination 72. Inspired by the prohibition era, the 1940s, the 1960s and the 1970s, along with the bartender’s personal concoctions, the bar menu travels through some of the best decades of the last century, while keeping modern flavours intact. We wish the patrons a spirited and responsible drinking experience with us.”
Signature cocktails include Nutmeg Martini, Passionate Whisky Sour, Honeydew Melon Martini, The Mary Pickford, and Blushing Sangria, among others.
