Opulence but in an understated manner
which allows for some quiet dining as well
as some night-time revelry, depending
on your mood. Axo Bar & Kitchen is
a delightful blend of Mediterranean
and modern Indian cuisine, and a bar
experience that presents cocktails like
The Lego, Matcha Dame, Osaka Highball,
Vapour Chamber, AXO Haiboru, and more.
Note, the Chamber is a sharing cocktail,
served on dry ice, with gin, vodka,
vermouth, cranberry and rosemary. Sip
up, folks!
Once you settle into a cosy nook in
the 6000 sq. ft. space with warm interiors
and soft lighting, a Greek-themed
environment by the looks of it, pick your
poison and nibble on the bar bites like
the Brie & Asparagus Empanadas and the
Haleem Baklava, with a generous filling
of lamb, wheat and lentil stew in a pastry
with a side of hummus that’s extra creamy.
We quite liked the Green Chicken Souvlaki,
Spiced Couscous and Chickpea Salad with
raita, a scrumptious meal in one. DIY
pastas are at your disposal, with your
choice of sauce and filling, Jain options,
too, and mains that run the gamut from
Paneer Xacuti with Khamiri Naan to Tiger
Prawns and Bok Choy with Spaghetti, from
a Malvani Mutton that is a must-try to an
extravagant Lobster & Goat Cheese Risotto.
The Baked Saffron Yogurt is another
indulgence that’s Axo’s signature, or you
could just ask the server for the flavour of
the day, if ice-cream is your go-to.
