Every restaurant starts with an idea.
For Chef Hemant Bhagwani, Ek Bar was born from a desire to look at Indian food differently—to take the flavours, memories, and traditions we know and give them room to evolve.
At Ek Bar, familiar ingredients meet unexpected techniques, regional influences find new expressions, and every dish is created to tell a story.
But the idea goes beyond the food.
It’s about creating a place where dinner becomes an experience, cocktails become part of the conversation, and the table becomes a space to connect, discover, and stay a little longer.
This is Chef Hemant’s vision of modern Indian dining.
This is Ek Bar.
