Ravindra House,
Kalbadevi Road,
Near Furtados,Dhobi Talao,
Kalbadevi, Mumbai.

Restaurant and Bar

Sunlight is a PARSI owned restaurant and bar with its ground floor section designed bit like an irani.

This is a place where you will find a Jukebox that has Iron Maiden, Eagles, MLTR and along with the best hits of bollywood and at times some soft music like Gazals by Kishore Kumar always help us to make up some good conversations with our sole buddies.

People call it has "SHADY", "HOLE IN THE WALL", "LOW BUDGET" restaurant and bar because you get alcohol at fairly cheap rate. Though its a shady place they are very strict and strongly against any kind of misbehavior in the restaurant which may even lead to permanent ban if in case he/she is a frequent visitor. Ground floor section is a non-ac section and the first floor is a A/C section. Smoking is allowed in both the sections.

Sunlight bar is famous for its Quarter and Bottle system which most of the bars do not provide and on the top its available at cheaper rates compared to others. Cheese NAN and cheese Popcorn, these two are the most awaited dish when you have BUD in one hand and Beer on the other ;).

This place is all about experiencing rather than putting it in words so go ahead and enjoy, i assure you that you wont be disappointed.

Strategic planning and a repertoire of pre-launch essentials have made Dara's the right place for the right people. Different and innovative, yet blended with the air of rural nuances.

Open Air Dhaba

Break a conversation with the stars or invite the night for a tryst with the romantic open air. Exactly what Dhaba lovers would expect from a typical Dhaba. Spread over acres of land and decorated by nature, this is the hot spot to breathe in the fresh village air, blended with the aroma of North Indian and Chinese food and, of course the rich smell of the soil. For couples who crave for isolation, there's a special place allocated in the open. So if having a treat in the lap of nature and under the roof of the sky is your way of calling it a feast, so be it at Dara's Open Air Dhaba.

This was the distinct vision and singular goal that Shri Jagatjit Singh Bajaj visualized for the fun-loving people of Mumbai. It dates back to the eighties, when he realized that Mumbai seriously needed a break from the circle of deadlines and competition. He dreamt of merging the city's frivolous spirit with the culture and vibes of a typical village. From then, till date Dara's Dhaba reflects this vision. What started as a simple Punjab-Da-Dhaba, is now the most reputed and excellent joint for the people who comprise the elite of Mumbai. For the connoisseurs of good taste, Dara's is the final say.

Apart from earning the reputation of being Mumbai's only original Dhaba, Dara's has also become the one-stop for conferences, banquets and marriage parties too. Corporates, friends and families have branded it as one of the best spots for a memorable get-together.

The massive strides that Dara's Dhaba has taken over the years have been a success story to reckon with. And all these achievements are attributed to the compliments and good wishes of its patrons.
