The trendy bar is well stocked with specially curated top-shelf spirits, beers, sangrias, cocktails and mocktails.
In-house mixologist, Vikash Singh can stir up a select range of concoctions like, ‘Caramon Manhattan’, ‘Fleur of the valley’, ‘Zobetians, Cuttieetini’ etc., apart from regular ones.
The gastropub has said it is following all the safety and hygiene measures, including adhering to mandatory opening hours, as stipulated by the government.
Said Managing Director, Nikhil Sekhani, “The word ‘zobet’ in Turkish means ‘blessings’ and our brand lives up to this perfectly by being the ideal venue to indulge yourself for a memorable time with family, friends, business clients or even for some quality me-time.”
