"I don't want to go behind bars," chef Hemant Oberoi, a teetotaller since 1975, jokes when we suggest he go behind the bar for a photo shoot at his BKC restaurant that is finally licensed to serve some innovative cocktails. To ensure your stomach is lined well while you savour your drinks, he has created bar snacks like Cheese Crisps (Rs 375), Ginger Onion Tortilla (Rs 395), and even a Peruvian Chilli Chicken in a Cup (Rs 475). The most innovative we felt were the Lamb Cigars (Rs 475) served in a cigar box with a dip of basil and mint. We sip on the big draws from the bar menu:
