The Nook Bandra: Your 'Third Space' with Coffee and Cocktails

Written By Laiba Arif

Presented By Delhi Royale


Content

Can a café quietly change the pace of your day? The Nook in Bandra West does just this by establishing the ambiance whereby time is deliberately slow. It is a cafe-bar designed to run in a day-to-night rhythm, which does not seem strange but natural. The day starts and ends with specialty coffee and relaxed chatting in the mornings and afternoons, respectively, and evenings shift to a more personalized cocktail-based kind of experience. The space does not make use of loud music, dramatic lighting, or large menus to make an impression. It rather constructs its identity based on equilibrium, moderation, and shrewd details. The Nook targets guests who do not consider spectacle important, but rather value atmosphere and flavor.

Can a café quietly change the pace of your day? The Nook in Bandra West does just this by establishing the ambiance whereby time is deliberately slow. It is a cafe-bar designed to run in a day-to-night rhythm, which does not seem strange but natural. The day starts and ends with specialty coffee and relaxed chatting in the mornings and afternoons, respectively, and evenings shift to a more personalized cocktail-based kind of experience. The space does not make use of loud music, dramatic lighting, or large menus to make an impression. It rather constructs its identity based on equilibrium, moderation, and shrewd details. The Nook targets guests who do not consider spectacle important, but rather value atmosphere and flavor.


The Nook Bandra West

The Nook is in Reclamation, Bandra West, on the ground floor of Geliki ONGC Building, which is a quieter section of the neighborhood. This location allows the cafe to be detached from the bustle of major roads while remaining centrally located. It is within reach of both Carter Road and the eating circuit of Bandra to be convenient, but distant enough to have a feel of peaceful living. There is little emphasis on the building's facade, and the entrance is not flashy, with no gaudy signage. This is a low-key strategy that reflects the experience of the guests as soon as they are indoors. The atmosphere renders The Nook especially attractive when spending long days there and evenings in a relaxed manner.



The Nook Review


AMBIENCE

The Nook interior is inspired by the mid-century modernism style, manifested in the warm colour schemes and materials. The existence of textured walls, comfortable furniture, and clean-edged furniture makes the space look sophisticated and yet not strict. Dining is done in separate areas, where the customers may choose to sit at the cafe table, bar stools or lounges, which are more comfortable. Natural lighting contributes a lot to the atmosphere during the day. With the evening coming near, the lights become softer, which makes the space appear more cozy without getting dark and overpowering. Music is still edited and mediated and serves a support role to the conversation, and not a competitor to the conversation.

The Nook Food 


FOOD

The Nook cuisine is centered on small-plate meals, which prompts patrons to taste a variety of dishes as opposed to regular mains. The menu is dedicated to flavour layering and considerate combinations of ingredients instead of comfort-based ones. The dishes that are used to show contrast and balance in the kitchen include fig crostini with goat cheese and habanero-ginger honey. A different case, such as cashew essence with wasabi pea mousse and sake gel, is the more experimental one, based on the aspects of texture and delicacy. Servings are not oversized, which is also in keeping with the cafe-bar idea. The food is best served during sharing and when eaten at a slow pace and through lengthy discussions.

The Nook Menu


The Nook, one of the new restaurants in Mumbai, has a small and selective menu with no redundancy or superfluous diversity. The dishes are served carefully on their plates, which shows the general style in the space. The menu does not have strict segments but enables the guests to place orders in an intuitive manner and at their own will. The arrangement facilitates a casual dining experience as opposed to a course-by-course service. The restricted menu guarantees uniformity in terms of variation of all the plates. Both cocktails and coffee are also served, as the menu will be structured to support the two accounts of the venue.

DRINKS

Beverages are a branding factor in The Nook. The day is dedicated to specialty coffee, with such items as the Croissant Latte, which is prepared using croissant-infused milk, and the Café Bombon, which is an espresso topped with condensed milk. These drinks are made to be savored and not drunk. The bar programme takes over in the evening. The cocktail menu is grouped into conceptual themes like Light, Brew and Craft, directing the guests according to the flavour profile as opposed to the alcohol base. The Smoke and Soil and the Grind are examples of signature cocktails that show the preference of the cafe to the depth, earthiness as well as balance.
