Kaspers Bandra is the new neighbourhood bistro by Food Matters Group, blending Paris, New York and Bandra energy in one 35 seater space. Expect bold flavours, timeless cocktails, hand painted cherub frescos, and a warm, lived in vibe. This Kaspers Mumbai review covers the food, design, cocktails and why this spot is about to become Bandra’s next obsession.
Why Kaspers Bandra Is the Opening Everyone Is Talking About
If you follow Mumbai’s dining scene, you already know the excitement that follows a new Food Matters Group launch. Kaspers Bandra is their freshest creation, a cosy 1,000 sq ft bistro tucked just off Hill Road. It comes from restaurateur duo Jay Yousuf and Gauri Devidayal and chef Will Aghajanian, known for his stints at Mugaritz, Per Se and the cult LA hit, Horses.
This Kaspers Mumbai review is your inside look at everything the place gets right: the mood, the plate, the bar, the art and the attitude.
Inside Kaspers Bandra: A Bistro That Feels Like Everywhere You Have Been, But Still Somehow Bandra
Walk past the duck green facade and the first thing you notice is the warmth. Hand laid mosaic floors, deep maroon banquettes and a sleek zinc bar come together with an effortless kind of charm. It is the restaurant version of a perfect vintage find outfit: classic, a little moody and instantly personal.
Why the space works
The design is tight, intentional and layered. Patch Design Studio collaborated with Chef Will to build a room that wears its influences with ease. Paris, Basque Country, New York and then, very clearly, Bandra.
The bathroom you will photograph
The Yves Klein Blue restroom tucked behind a red velvet curtain is already shaping up to be one of Mumbai’s most talked about design moments. It has its own playlist and a Thomas Crapper WC. Enough said.
Kaspers Bandra Menu: A Little French, A Little Italian, A Little New York, A Lot of Heart
The food at Kaspers Bandra is bold without being fussy. The menu is built on emotional favourites, reimagined with seasonal produce and a chef’s sense of play.
Expect dishes like:
Vegetarian Bouillabaisse Toast
Taleggio and Spring Garlic Arancini
Spinach Pie
Morcilla de Kerala with Queso Fondito Potato Rosti
Buffalo Tenderloin with Sauce Chateaubriand
Why it matters
In a city where many restaurants chase trends, Kaspers goes back to roots: flavour, heart and craft. You feel the chef’s travels in every plate, but you also feel Mumbai’s pulse.
Do not miss
Desserts. This is not an afterthought course. Expect a rotating selection of classics with personality.
The Cocktails at Kaspers Bandra: Classic, Clean, Clever
This is not a drinks menu trying too hard. It is one built on balance, clarity and the charm of a twist. The cocktail list leans classic but adds subtle lifts that keep things interesting.
The wine list is worth noting too. Everything is available by the glass, which is rare and very welcome.
Why this bar works
Kaspers is not a cocktail first bar, but the drinks show the confidence of a team that knows their classics inside out.
The Art That Gives Kaspers Bandra Its Soul
The restaurant’s identity circles around the playful cherub motif by American artist Kacper Abolik, who spent a month in Mumbai painting every fresco by hand. His expressive brushwork gives the room a whimsical but timeless mood.
Each table has crayons, inviting guests to add their own doodle to the evening. A small touch that makes the restaurant feel personal and lived in.
What this tells you about the brand
Kaspers is thoughtful but never stiff. Stylish but still fun. In a city where design often overshadows personality, this balance feels refreshing.
