At Bawri BKC, diverse Indian materials and textures create a captivating ambiance. From poured-in-place micro concrete with copper strip inserts to reclaimed teak planks and repurposed carpets, the 4500 sq ft. space features five seamlessly flowing sections: a central bar, intimate seating, communal tables, cozy built-ins, and the standout arched cane enclaves with floor-level seating. Chef Amninder Sandhu's menu at Bawri highlights cherished, generational recipes inherited from family and friends. It's a fusion of her Punjabi roots, upbringing in North East India, past in Goa, and explorations across rural India. Every dish reverberates with the authenticity of yesteryears, using timeless spices, local produce, and a commitment to wholesomeness. The cooking relies on seed-free oils like olive and avocado or A2 quality ghee, emphasizing hormone-free meats and ethically sourced ingredients, a testament to Chef Sandhu's dedication to sustainability.
