In the vibrant landscape of new establishments in Bandra, Sukoon by Joshi House stands out as a serene escape amidst the bustling city. Unlike the typical cafes, upscale restaurants, or popular international brands, Sukoon aims to provide a tranquil retreat in the heart of Bandra.
Sukoon specializes in Sattvik, vegan, and vegetarian cuisine, offering a distinctive menu curated by Chef Tanvi Shah. Sukoon's selection of dishes sets it apart. The culinary journey features home-style Indian favorites and dishes influenced by Asian and Italian flavors. The absence of alcohol and sugary sodas is compensated by a variety of natural elixirs, aligning with the restaurant's invitation to step away from the fast-paced city life and its associated dietary habits.
Commencing the culinary adventure with truffle cassava fries, the flavors and creative use of ingredients immediately capture our attention. The khichu chat, a Gujarati snack dear to Chef Shah since childhood, skips conventional ingredients like potato or raw banana. Accompanied by the wild mushroom congee, the dishes surprise with unexpected textures and flavors, delighting our taste buds.
Chef Tanvi, a former Masterchef India baking and patisserie expert, draws inspiration from her vegetarian upbringing. She aims to eliminate the struggle of finding truly delicious vegetarian or satvik meals by leveraging the abundant fresh produce available across the country.
Sukoon takes pride in delivering a garden dining experience that goes beyond mere potted plants. With a grassy floor and a semi-transparent roof allowing natural light, the setting resembles picnic tables in the backyard of a countryside house.
To encourage patrons to fully immerse themselves in the sanctuary's serenity, the restaurant offers a unique proposition – a 15% discount for surrendering your phone throughout the entire meal.
While alcoholic beverages are absent from Sukoon's offerings, the menu boasts a range of healthy and refreshing in-house-brewed or blended drinks. From iced teas and mocktails to health shots, fresh juices, and smoothies, the beverage options complement the restaurant's commitment to a wholesome dining experience.
Sukoon by Joshi House successfully combines a peaceful ambiance, unique culinary offerings, and a commitment to a balanced lifestyle, making it a standout addition to Mumbai’s evolving dining scene.
