TÓA 66 Introduces Mumbai to Its First Vegetarian Thai Tasting Experience

Zane's Cafe & Pet Spa, one of Mumbai's most popular pet-friendly restaurants, has debuted in Mumbai with its improved dining and pet care experience. Originally named after the founder's beloved pet, Zane's has developed into Mumbai's first pet-grooming cafe, providing a comprehensive experience where pet owners can savor fine dining while their four-legged pals receive first-rate grooming services. 

With a friendly cafe on the ground floor and a dedicated pet spa on the upper level, the renovated area offers a singular experience where people and pets can be pampered at the same time.

The cafe's expanded menu showcases a thoughtful selection of gourmet dishes and specialty coffee, catering to various tastes throughout the day from all-day breakfast to late dinner. Alongside the human menu, Zane's also offers a dedicated Pets Menu, ensuring furry visitors receive meals crafted with the same attention to quality. What truly sets Zane's apart is its innovative approach to pet care – while dining downstairs, pet parents can watch a live feed of their companions enjoying grooming services upstairs. 

The cafe's mission goes beyond providing excellent food and grooming – it aims to foster a community where every sip of coffee and every wag of a tail contributes to an atmosphere of shared joy and companionship in the heart of Mumbai's vibrant urban landscape.

Vishal Bhindora, Director, Zane’s Café said, "We wanted to create a space where pets aren’t just accommodated - they’re celebrated. Zane’s was born from the idea that pet parents shouldn’t have to choose between caring for their pets and enjoying a moment for themselves. Grooming isn’t just a chore; it’s an essential part of their well-being. So while your pet gets the care they deserve, you get to slow down, sip on a coffee (on us!) & a great meal, and watch them being pampered in real-time. A space like this should exist because pets are family, and they deserve a place that treats them like it,”

Pause, an ingredient-forward café that opened in Mumbai's Bandra neighborhood, is committed to sustainability, community, and guilt-free enjoyment. Created by Rohit Dadlani and Mohit Menghrajani, Pause serves a plant-based food in an area that evokes Bandra's comfortable living room while balancing indulgence and purpose. This small 32-seater restaurant in Bandra, which is over 500 square feet and was designed by Parzan Daruwalla and Natasha Chawla of Studio Sixty-One Fifty-Eight (6158), is an invitation to take a time to relax and enjoy the moment rather than just eat.

Co-Founder Rohit Dadlani sees Pause as a continuation of his conviction that food can be a potent catalyst for change and community. Having worked in sustainable finance, he had an idea for a place where people could eat delicious, plant-forward food without sacrificing taste or experience. The smooth functioning of the café, from its marketing strategy to its visitor experience, has been greatly influenced by his Co-Founder Mohit Menghrajani, a specialist in brand development and hospitality consulting.

Pause's strong façade, which features the name in both Devanagari and English, together with ellipses that represent an open-ended idea that suggests the café's fluid and individualized experience, makes a statement at first glance. 

Even before you enter, the eye-catching blue-bracket exterior serves as an integrated bench, promoting conversation. Once inside, a well-designed area is illuminated by the flood of natural light coming through big glass windows. Pause easily adjusts to its visitors' demands with a blend of comfortable couches, high tables, and Japanese-style seating that accommodates casual gatherings, remote workers, and lone diners. From reclaimed Burma teak furniture to Rajasthani marble accents, every design decision reflects the café's dedication to sustainability, resulting in an atmosphere that is both environmentally friendly and hospitable.

At the heart of Pause is an ingredient-forward menu that celebrates the vibrant flavors. The menu is entirely plant-based, with a large selection of gluten-free options as well. Crafted by consultant Chef Pooja Masurkar, each dish is made with fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients and a focus on in-house preparation. Breakfast offerings include Kale Kala Channa Toast, Tropical Smoothie Bowl, and Kimchi Pancakes, while vibrant small plates like Rainbow Salad Rolls, Broccoli Millet Salad, Enoki Wings, Crispy Eggplant Parmesan Stack, and Loaded Nachos with house-made jowar chips add layers of flavor and texture. Signature mains, such as the Mediterranean Bowl with kodo millet tabbouleh, Tofu Schnitzel Wrap, and Jackfruit Makhni, reimagine plant-forward dining. Indulgent desserts like the 24 Carrot and diabetes friendly Chocolate Orange Mousse offer a sweet finish, balancing decadence with wholesome ingredients.

"In a city that never stops moving, Pause is meant to be an escape. We always wanted to create a space that blends indulgence with responsibility, where food is more than a meal, but an experience rooted in mindfulness, quality, and conscious choices. We’ve been deeply involved in every detail, from the smallest elements such as the hemp napkins, and seeing Pause come to life has been incredibly fulfilling," share the co-founders.

Chowman, a well-known restaurant in Kolkata that sets trends in the culinary eating industry, has finally made its debut in Mumbai. Established in 2010, the brand has established a cloud kitchen in the Powai neighborhood and will soon be followed by several dining establishments throughout the city. 

Chowman, a pioneer of authentic pan-Asian cuisine and a democratic approach to fine dining, is looking to Mumbai as a major turning point in its mission to provide world-class dining experiences at affordable prices. Under the direction of Debaditya Chaudhury, Managing Director of Chowman, Oudh 1590, and Chapter 2, the brand's idea was born, and it expanded from a single store in Kolkata to the most popular cities across India.

With more than 45 locations in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi-NCR, and Kolkata, it has greatly expanded in recent years. Chowman’s aim is to further blend traditional fine dining with reasonable prices, offering traditional Indo-Chinese dishes from Kolkata's (the Indo-Chinese birthplace) traditional roots alongside true Asian cuisine.

"The dream of coming to Mumbai has been there all along. Mumbai is a city that thrives in diversity, located within that eclectic cultural rainbow nestles the undying love for authentic, quality food that perfectly syncs with Chowman's core values. We are here to give Mumbaikars our signature neighborhood fine dining experience, a place where authenticity, quality, and value coalesce into one that would best fit into the city's gleaming gauntlet of high-end Asian restaurants," said Debaditya Chaudhury, Managing Director, Chowman.

In order to cater to the city's cosmopolitan diners, Chowman's Mumbai location strives to translate the brand's philosophy into the culinary experience. From its elaborately designed interior, which blends traditional Asian elements with modern influences, to its varied menu that celebrates Eastern flavors, the entire scene is painted on a palette.

Nanna’s Negroni opens its doors in Pune with the charming space which blends the heart of European culinary traditions. 

The Nanna's Negroni concept, created by Chef Ambar Rode, combines warmth, mischief, and a homey cozy feeling. "Nanna" evokes the warm embrace of an Italian grandmother, while "Negroni" honors expertly made cocktails that are both playful and sophisticated. The name itself speaks to its essence.

Enter this peaceful haven of 2,600 square feet, where every element is intended to take you to Europe. Vertical tufting and dark green leather booths beckon you to stay, and polished wooden tables with marble tops offer a subtle elegance. A golden glow reminiscent of a late afternoon in a charming Italian café is cast by warm, ambient lighting, while chairs with cane backs pay homage to traditional European design. 

 Commenting on the launch, Chef Ambar Rode, Founder, Nanna Negroni said, “Cooking is storytelling—every dish carries a memory, a place, a feeling. At Nanna’s Negroni, we bring those stories to life with simplicity, patience, and heart, just like Nanna would have wanted. Every plate is crafted with the same love and care you’d find in an Italian grandmother’s kitchen—honest, comforting, and full of little surprises. Because food should feel like a warm embrace, turning shared meals into unforgettable moments.”

Its Neapolitan heritage and European comfort cooking serve as inspiration for each meal, which is prepared to adherence the tradition. Every taste of the hand-rolled pasta produced fresh every day with semolina, "00" flour, and eggs, or the cold-fermented pizza dough that has been properly risen to attain the ideal lightness, demonstrates the careful attention to detail. Duck breast is dry-aged for seven days, hog belly is cured in rock salt for eighteen hours, and kingfish is cured with Negroni. Everything is cooked in-house, including the bread, sauces, and garnishes for the cocktails.

The cocktail menu is a lively tribute to European customs, full of charm, culture, and a dash of humor. It is divided into two portions, "Love, Nanna" and "Nanna & Negroni," which honor classic ingredients and memories.
