Bombay’s Lounge Era Returns with Bandra's Miss Margot

Miss Margot draws from a time when evenings were unhurried and built around conversation, well-made drinks, and lingering company. Created for those who appreciate nuance, restraint, and old-world charm, it brings back the quiet pleasure of a night spent entirely at ease.
At the heart of this vision is Kishore D.F., whose legacy in Bombay’s hospitality landscape spans some of its most culturally defining spaces, including Seijo and the Soul Dish and The Tanjore Tiffin Room. He’s joined by Partner Dimi Lezinska, a globally recognised name in spirits and hospitality whose career spans London’s most iconic bars and international stages from the Academy Awards and Cannes to British Academy for Television Arts and the Toronto Film Festival. Known for his intelligent, balanced approach to mixology and a keen sense of discernment, Dimi’s philosophy is rooted in restraint and the honest expression of ingredients focusing on substance and technique. Completing the trio is Chef Parth Purandare, whose menu of small plates draws from modern European, Continental flavours and Japanese techniques. His cooking is nuanced yet familiar, with layered references rooted in continental traditions. 
Among the signatures is Miss Margot, the lounge’s namesake serve, a gin- based concoction that’s quietly bold. It opens with a bright citrus lift, followed by the rich depth of morello cherry and the soft elegance of maraschino. The gin brings clarity and a clean, herbal edge, while the fruit adds body, texture, and a touch of intrigue. The Classic Martini offers a pour of pure precision, a crystal-clear blend of gin and dry vermouth. The Coral Gibson is a standout: dry vermouth and gin lifted by radish pickle and crab, offering coastal freshness and savoury intrigue. For moments of celebration, Only Fans offers a flirty nod to the late Douglas Ankrah’s iconic creation, vodka is infused with passionfruit, topped with vanilla sparkling wine, and served with unapologetic charm. Inquisitive Cat prowls with quiet elegance and then surprises with a bold, unexpected burst of flavour, combining Jose Cuervo Reposado Tequila, prawn-infused Aperol, prawn pickle, grapefruit juice, grapefruit cordial, lime, and blood orange kombucha. Meanwhile the Swaggermaster, is confident and layered combining Flor de Caña 12 YO, sherry, Luxardo Morlacco cherry liqueur, and Luxardo Amaro. 

Highlights of the food menu include the Tom Yum Gambas, which brings together prawns and sea bream in a bold, comforting broth, served with soft mantou buns. The Tuna Negimaki pairs beautifully with citrus veloute, pomme puree and crispy leeks. The Goat Cheese and Beet Salad offers brightness and contrast, with pickled beets, Rechado cream, and spiced rice crisps. The Hay Smoked Salmon is elevated with gentleman’s relish and citrus soy and flying fish roe,
