Food With A Story
Join us on a timeless, culinary journey, from Kabul to the ancient site of Chittagong. Taftoon pays homage to the flavours of the Grand Trunk Road, one of Asia’s oldest trade routes. Through passionate and meticulous research, and a whole lot of trial and error, we strive to offer our guests an updated take on century-old recipes, for an engaging dining experience linking Central Asia to the Indian sub-continent in the heart of Mumbai.
Ingredient-led cocktails
Our signature cocktails (and mocktails) complement our food beautifully, and are sometimes enjoyed on their own too! Join us at the bar and try our freshly-made concoctions. We use local ingredients and fresh juices, free of artificial flavours or preservatives. If it’s your first time, may we suggest trying our ‘Grand Trunk Road’ cocktail? Green and made with herbs, fresh malta orange, and cucumber - it’s certainly a refreshing and (dare we say) almost-healthy drink!

Dishes are consistently well-researched and well-balanced. Happy that the breadth and bounty of regional India along the GT road has been brought into the glossier reaches of Mumbai’s dining scene. Balle Balle on the highway!

We’re certain to return to this trading route where the cocktails are made with care, and are full of promise, and meals can turn into feasts with the right kind of ordering

Good food often has a backstory and a memory attached to it. Each of Taftoon’s dishes digs into a past that most of us are not familiar with and stories that have disappeared through the times. Eating here was an introduction to food traditions that have been looked over and a chance to introspect on our Indian culture and identity. Go challenge yourself with familiar yet new flavours, and learn about the time gone by though your tastebuds

Located in Bandra Kurla Complex, Taftoon Bar & Kitchen takes you on a gastronomic journey through the Grand Trunk Road. Their ambiance is calming and modern. With luxurious ambiance and comfortable seating, this is an excellent dining place if you want to try Authentic Food from different regions. I would suggest you to ask for recommendations as there is something for every palette, you might find it hard to choose between all the different cuisines.

Taftoon is an odd to the flavours of the grand trunk road, the northern axis of the Indian subcontinent from the 16th century. It is an exploration of authentic recipes recreated for the moder day. The interiors are well done up. It oozes class and richness. The well-spaced out tables. The polite and helpful staff certainly made my experience worth remembering for a really long time. Taftoon is located in the business capital of the city BKC. BKC now has alot of new and interesting places but once you experience the taftoon experience then I'm sure you won't even look around when you are in BKC.

The ambiance is cosy perfect for a meal with close family & friends. The open kitchen gives a glimpse of expect chefs hard at work churning out lip smacking delicacies inspired by the famous grand trunk road route . Also the vast bar has mixologists & bartenders creating magic with their shaker bottles, we tried the hibiscus flower & kadi patta flavoured cocktails which were simply divine! The piping hot kashmiri kahwa served at the start of the meal is exceptional in all terms of culinary satisfaction served in earthen shot glasses. Truly a memorable experience.
