Busaba, Colaba
2001 gave birth to Bombay’s Busaba Restaurant and Lounge Bar. Executive Chef and founder Nikhil Chib brings his fresh idea alive by creating one of the first South-East Asian stand-alone restaurants and lounge bars India has seen. Busaba has an intimate relationship with South-East Asian authenticity. Busaba’s creative appeal carves a niche of Asian cuisine stacked with excellent chefs from Vietnam, Thailand, Korea and Burma coupled with a chilled out lounge.
