Indigo




Not only does Indigo boast a beautifully designed bar with deep-sea blue walls and learther arm-chairs, but its restaurant has drawn plaudits from Conde Nast amongst others. Spicy Thai food and other Oriental flavours are the order of the day, but it's the décor that will really turn your head in this impressively high-ceilinged space. There's also a cosy cigar bar where you can light up a Cohiba and mingle with the Mumbai A-set, more models and movie stars than you can shake a Martini at

Bed Lounge and Bar



What's with all this Bed business? Whatever happened to sipping a whiskey on a plain old bar stool? Hot on the heels of Bed bars in Amsterdam, Bangkok and Miami comes bar guru Tony Sachdev's offering, set in a sprawling multi-level space in celebrity-rich Bandra. Models Nina Manuel and Viveka Babaji serve as "brand Ambassadors", but with a clientele that includes Bollywood stars and Bombabes anyway, who needs to advertise? In the main space regulars lie back on various sprawling cushioned beds sipping sweet cocktails, with bright sequins, tassels and Moroccan-style lamps adding a sensual allure all around them. A tented terrace outside serves as the VIP room, with more beds in there. You can even eat in Bed - the kitchen offering Chinese, Indian and western fusion, including something called Squid Yu Juan. What's that? When DJ Suketu spins Hindi remixes and hip hop beats though, it's hard not to get drawn into the scene. Come to Bed.
