Enter Sammy Sosa, the seven-year-old Mexican restaurant at Oshiwara, and you’ll find the usual family-diner seating. However, if you crave a more chilled-out atmosphere, where you can hang out and drink at leisure, raise your fist in the air and throw in some cuss words during a match, brothers Virat and Samrat Kapoor will show you the door, literally. An extension to the present space at Oshiwara, this one leads you into a Mexican home, tiled with talavera tiles with quaint motifs, a well-stocked bar, and tables that can accommodate large groups.

The new seating area at Sammy Sosa’s

When the owners came up with the idea to create a new space with casual seating for youngsters (at heart, of course), they asked their US-based parents to make a trip to Mexico and shop for all things local to furnish this home — ponchos, hats, colourful paintings, talavera tiles and vintage Mexican plates.
