Wednesday, June 12, 2024

Bellona Hospitality, a division of Phoenix Mills Ltd., inaugurated its latest venture, the multicultural gastropub ‘Dobaraa’, today at Phoenix Mall of Asia, Bangalore. This marks Dobaraa’s second establishment in the city, following its initial success at Phoenix Market City, with two more thriving outlets in Mumbai’s Phoenix Market City and Kurla Market City. Dobaraa aims to cater to a diverse clientele, including professionals, families, friends, and party enthusiasts, ensuring a delightful experience for everyone, be it for weekday lunches, early evening refreshments, or weekend gatherings. Drawing inspiration from the desire to create a culinary pub evolving into a vibrant bar by night, Dobaraa embraces an aura of mystique and charm, providing patrons with a rejuvenating and enjoyable atmosphere. With a meticulously curated menu taking the spotlight during the day and a meticulously planned beverage selection for the evening, Dobaraa is designed to awaken the inner rebel, encouraging individuals to challenge norms and aspire for excellence.

The addition of Dobaraa to Bangalore’s culinary landscape promises a distinctive dining adventure, blending exquisite cuisine, inventive cocktails, and an energetic ambiance, catering to discerning food aficionados and socialites alike. Dobaraa’s menu celebrates the diverse flavors of global cuisine, offering a wide range of options from pub classics to pastas, pizzas, small and large plates, and platters. Signature dishes such as British Fish ‘n Chips, Chipotle Grilled Chicken, Fritto Misto, Artichoke Filo Parcels, Butter Chicken Poutine, and Kerala Lamb Roast with Malabar Paratha highlight the culinary journey awaiting guests. Spearheading the culinary offerings is the rebellious Chef Anil Nair, freshly returned from Seattle, where he led an avant-garde gastropub, while Mixologist Manoj Alphones adds his expertise with innovative cocktails to tantalize the senses of visitors.

Dobaraa’s classic facade, adorned with elegant arches crafted from pastel-colored stained glass and metal elements, exudes sophistication and vintage charm. Inspired by the timeless allure of a Spanish Hacienda, every aspect of the interior reflects a narrative of power, indulgence, and sophistication reminiscent of a bygone era. Guests will be greeted by stone arches gracefully defining the pool-table area, where custom wallpaper featuring cheetahs and foliage adds an exotic allure. The overall ambiance promises to transport patrons to a realm of timeless elegance and unmatched hospitality, inviting them to linger and savor each moment with loved ones.
