Mumbai’s dynamic dining scene has just welcomed a new culinary gem: the award-winning, all-day dining restaurant, Brunch & Cake. Located at Raheja Altimus in Lower Parel, this iconic brand brings with it the warmth, charm, and comfort of “Grandma’s Goodness.” As of September 11, 2024, Mumbaikars can indulge in Brunch & Cake’s wholesome offerings, rooted in the rich heritage of its Spanish origins.
Brunch & Cake’s journey began in Barcelona, Spain, in 2010 under the name Cup & Cake. Over the years, it evolved into a global brand that quickly became a favorite for its beautiful interiors, generous portions, and unique dining experiences. Its transformation into Brunch & Cake in 2012 marked the start of a new chapter, and by 2019, the brand had expanded to the UAE, spearheaded by Amjad Barakat and Jamal Wick through a strategic reverse acquisition. Today, Brunch & Cake boasts 19 restaurants globally, with plans to open 34 more, including a new location in Madrid this month and six additional regions slated for 2025.
The Mumbai location of Brunch & Cake perfectly blends the brand’s hallmark design with local touches, creating a warm and inviting space. Soft pastel hues, rustic wooden accents, and unique textures—like woven wicker and soft linen fabrics—transform the restaurant into a cozy retreat. Signature elements like surfboards, white shells, and the “Grandma” branding add a nostalgic charm, while more modern features such as a stone pizza oven and terrazzo tables bring a touch of elegance. The result is an interior that feels both homely and Instagram-worthy, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxing or capturing the moment.
Hitesh Keswani, Managing Director of Aspect Hospitality, the group responsible for bringing Brunch & Cake to Mumbai, shared his excitement: “At Aspect Hospitality, we are dedicated to redefining dining experiences, where every dish and sip is a masterpiece of flavor and artistry. We’re thrilled to partner with Global Restaurants and work closely with Amjad Barakat and Jamal Wick to bring the culinary magic of Brunch & Cake to Mumbai.”
Brunch & Cake’s menu in Mumbai features its globally beloved signature dishes, including Next Level Avo Toast, Eggs Carbonara, Super Sandwich, and indulgent desserts like Cheesecake, Honey Cake, and Carrot Cake. In keeping with local preferences, the Mumbai outpost also introduces an array of vegetarian dishes and a specialized cocktail menu to elevate the dinner experience.
Aspect Hospitality, a subsidiary of the esteemed Aspect Group, is well-known for its successful restaurants across Mumbai, including Akina, Estella, Coconut Boy, and Tuya’s. With plans to expand Brunch & Cake into major Indian cities such as Goa, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Delhi, Aspect Hospitality is set to make the brand a key player in India’s dining landscape.
Brunch & Cake is more than just a restaurant—it’s a place where guests can experience the comfort and care of Grandma’s kitchen, right in the bustling heart of Mumbai.
