If food had a passport, Bombay Borough’s new menu would be stamped from Kashmir to Kerala, with a cheeky layover in Paris and maybe a nightcap in Tokyo. The modern Indian bar and eatery at DIFC has reimagined its entire lineup – from the first bite to the final sip – blending nostalgia, innovation, and a little bit of mischief in every course.
Where: Bombay Borough, DIFC, Dubai.
When: 12:00 PM – 1:00 AM Daily.
Small Plates, Big Personalities
Let’s start small – literally. The Smalls section is a love letter to Indian street food, only dressed up for a global dinner party. The Froyo Papdi Chaat takes your humble roadside snack and gives it a frozen-yoghurt makeover (because who said chaat can’t be cool?). Then there’s the Gondhoraj Chicken Puchka, an edible postcard from Kolkata bursting with citrusy zest and market vibrance. Oh, and don’t skip the Baati Toast – Rajasthan’s classic gets a cosmopolitan twist that might just convince you carbs are your love language.
Hot Plates That Bring the Heat
Things get fiery with the Hot Plates & Street Grills. Expect smoke, spice, and a serious dose of drama. The Smoked Meatless Kebabs are so convincing, even carnivores might question their life choices. Recheado Prawns are a Goan beach holiday on a plate – tangy, spicy, and slightly rebellious. And the Nihari Lamb Chops? Imagine Delhi’s slow-cooked comfort, now styled for a night out in DIFC.
Big Plates & Biryanis That Steal the Show
This is where the comfort food kicks in – the kind that tastes like home, but fancier. Kashmiri Chicken Korma wraps you in the warmth of saffron and almonds, Saag Burrata is where North India meets Milan, and Truffle Methi Malai proves Punjabi indulgence can wear haute couture. From the coasts, Crab Gassi and Clay-Baked Seabass are pure sunshine – tangy tamarind, creamy coconut, and a dash of Mangaluru soul.
Sweet Endings, Sweeter Memories
Desserts at Bombay Borough aren’t just sweet – they’re emotional. The Coorgi Chocolate Mousse is proof that Indian cocoa deserves a standing ovation, while Kaapi Rasgulla takes the classic Bengali delight and dunks it in South Indian filter coffee (genius move, really). Each creation feels like revisiting your childhood, but this time with better plating and adult-level appreciation.
The Borough Bar: Where India Meets the World, One Sip at a Time
If your food journey ends here, you’re missing half the fun. The Borough Bar is where India’s botanicals, spices, and spirits come alive in liquid art form. Try the Tropical Negroni – coconut-washed gin meets strawberry Campari in a bittersweet tropical symphony. Or go nostalgic with the Nutty Old Fashioned, where peanut butter bourbon and a Parle-G reduction (yes, you read that right) deliver a classy throwback to teatime days.
For the sober curious, the Zero Proof drinks are garden-fresh and soul-deep – the kind of mocktails that don’t make you miss the buzz.
A Taste of Heritage, a Toast to Modern India
As Luke Mascarenhas, General Manager at Bombay Borough, puts it:
“This menu is a reflection of who we are – rooted in India’s culinary heritage yet inspired by the world.”
And honestly? That’s exactly what it tastes like – a journey across regions, memories, and modern flair, all plated up with heart.
o whether you’re chasing spice, comfort, or just a really good cocktail story, Bombay Borough’s new menu delivers it all – with a wink, a twist, and a whole lot of soul.
