Soraia
Gauri Khan’s new indoor-outdoor concept — an alfresco garden with an ornate fountain flowing into a neo-botanical dining room, positioned by Mumbai press as a new marker in the city’s club landscape.
| Setting | Landscaped alfresco entry + interior in espresso tones, velvets and woven textures — designed by Gauri Khan |
| Format Fit | Brand dinners, fashion-adjacent launches and VIP hospitality where design credibility carries the invite |
| Location | Mahalaxmi — minutes from Lower Parel/Worli corporate corridor; new Aqua Line metro station adjacent (opened Oct 2025) |
Why CH3 Location Scouts Love The Space
- Designer-name venue — the Gauri Khan association gives a launch instant press and social pull in the Indian market.
- Indoor + alfresco in one flow — monsoon-proof formats with an outdoor arrival moment.
- Aqua Line access is new and matters: South Mumbai guests arrive without the Sea Link crawl.
- To confirm: capacities and buyout structure — not yet published.
Oju
An intimate Nikkei rooftop crowning the white Portuguese villa that houses Nuema — enclosed bar room, landscaped glasshouse, and a courtyard sushi counter with high tables built for larger groups.
| Spaces | Enclosed bar room · landscaped glasshouse · courtyard sushi counter · high-table zones designed to seat larger groups |
| Format Fit | Executive dinners, intimate client hospitality, long-terrace-evening formats · Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian) kitchen |
| Location | Colaba — heritage-district address, near the Taj/Gateway hotel cluster |
Why CH3 Location Scouts Love The Space
- Heritage villa + glasshouse rooftop — the most atmospheric small-format setting in the new crop; the venue does the storytelling.
- Group seating is in the architecture — high tables and courtyard counters were designed for bigger parties, not retrofitted.
- Colaba location pairs naturally with delegations staying at the Gateway-district five-stars.
- Small-format only — for 100+ receptions, pair it with a larger second venue.
8ish
A refined drinking den in the heart of Nariman Point — cocktails treated as liquid gastronomy, squarely aimed at the district’s post-work corporate crowd.
| Format Fit | Post-conference drinks, deal-closing hospitality, intimate after-work receptions |
| Location | Nariman Point — inside Mumbai’s legacy financial district, walkable from the corporate towers |
Why CH3 Location Scouts Love The Space
- The right postcode for finance guests — no transport planning, guests walk over from the office towers.
- Cocktail-programme-first venue — a sponsor-branded menu is a natural, low-cost activation.
- Den scale means den capacity — this is a 20–50 pax play, and midweek evenings are its natural buyout window.
