Mumbai's beach style shack-The Big Kahuna, Lower Parel

Review in one line- I took a teetotaler to The Big Kahuna, and even she had a great time!

Where- The Big Kahuna, Opposite PVR, Lower Parel

Highlight! India’s first Tiki style bar- formally called the Mai Tai Lounge introduces Mumbai to Hawaiian drinks and how. Everything tropical and ‘beachy’, The Big Kahuna is ideal for those drunken Friday night scenes

Review in 5 words- Cocktails, Music, Hawaii, Tiki Style, Sliders

Why TBK-  There are several bars with good music in Mumbai, but something inspired from the Hawaiian and tropical theme, with excellent presentation, quirky cocktails names and really nice music , all together, is only at The Big Kahuna

What to wear- We were in our Friday office semi-formals, all set to embrace the weekend

Whom to go with- Please take someone who drinks, I took a teetotaler though, who had fun as well, obviously the food and mocktails kept her intrigued!

What we reviewed– The last time I had this much fun while reviewing a restaurant was Hoppipola. Not often is it that you get the perfect music, ambiance, food and company, all together on a Friday night, when you are running away from the clutches of work. The drinks were strong and well-flavoured, the food was well spiced to go with the drinks and the entire place got us all geared up for the weekend to follow! Everyone, including the staff, seemed to be having a good time, and that’s exactly what you need on a Friday night!

Will we go back again? Definitely, and for the food, along with the quirky drinks
