Eat, drink and dance akin to our Forefathers
‘They Ate. They Drank. They Danced.’ is the official tagline of this new culinary haven. Launched in early April 2024, Forefathers is a peaceful restaurant and cocktail bar which serves a wide gamut of meticulously prepared dishes and artisanal cocktails that seamlessly blend contemporary tastes with traditional ones that characterized our ancestors’ time.
THE DECOR Designed by Srikanth Reddy of 23 Degrees Design Shift, the 14,000 sq.ft. space is done entirely in terracotta, form finish concrete and a little mix of metal. The finished look, that spreads across various seating areas located indoors and outdoors, melds the present with the past and pays homage to a bygone era.
FOOD & DRINKS Lively ambience, head-bopping music and a very helpful staff welcomed us as we entered Forefathers. Sitting on comfortable highchairs we order their signature cocktails, the gin-based Genghis Goblet and the white rum-based Lost Inheritance. The latter was a fun drink with delicate watermelon and jasmine foam topping. When it came to food, we were spoilt for choice thanks to Chef Kuldeep Rawat’s recommendations. Our list of standouts were: the special Dahi Wada, Baby Corn Kurkure, the flavorful Thatte Idli with Vegetable Alleppey Curry and one with Prawn Curry, Burmese Chili Prawn, Pulled Mutton Irachi and Malabar Paratha, the must-try Andhra Chili Chicken Bombas, the crispy Muruku Churros and finally the soft and chocolaty F.F. Cake served with creamy vanilla ice cream.
