Dadar emerges as new F&B hub after Lower Parel
and Bandra
With Kohinoor Square in Dadar, a residential and commercial hub with retail and F&B outlets turning out to be popular,
Buzz is doing the rounds is Dadar the new F&B hub?
Last October saw restauranteur Riyaaz Amlani’s cafe and co-working space Social opening in Dadar.

Emerging as its neighbour a month ago were the folks behind the famed Malvani restaurant Chaitanya, who opened fine-dining restaurant Coast and Bloom serving coastal fare from across the world.
Coming soon next is Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s Bastian with a 10,000 sq ft rooftop restaurant parked on the 48th floor of the same commercial and residential hub.
With at least three high-end restaurants coming up in Dadar and many others lined up, it poses the question: Is Dadar emerging as the next food and beverage (F&B) hotspot of Mumbai?
According to Nikita Harisinghani, co-founder of Chrome Asia Hospitality, the company behind the recently launched Gigi in Bandra among others, Dadar is very upcoming F&B hub
She went on to add that they were also eyeing this neighbourhood to open their new restaurant.

They are still looking for one, and if they get it, they would cent per cent have a restaurant there,” further adding that those opening restaurants in Dadar now would have first mover advantage.
