Recently, the social media page of Bastian Mumbai made an official announcement, stating that the restaurant will undergo a transformation into Ammakai, a South Indian restaurant in Bandra. It will also expand in Juhu with Bastian Beach Club, beginning from mid-October.
The statement read, “While you’re working hard at the ‘rumor mill’, today at Bastian, we’re serving “The Real Tea.” Bandra was our beginning, and while that chapter closes, two new stories are waiting to be written. The Brand Steps Into a Next Era. Bastian Bandra, the flagship that started it, all bids adieu, the brand looks forward to opening new exciting new chapters in its culinary journey.”
“From mid-October, the iconic Bandra space will transform into Ammakai, a specialty South Indian restaurant. Meaning ‘the mother’s hand’, Ammakai embodies comfort, warmth, and authenticity. Ammakai pays homage to the depth of South Indian culinary traditions, recipes seeped in heritage, enriched with regional flavours, and brought to life with the impeccable service and quality synonymous with the Bastian name,” it added.
“At the same time, Bastian is expanding its vibrant spirit to the shores of Juhu with the Bastian Beach Club. This new coastal destination will capture the brand’s signature energy of indulgence and celebration. Bandra was where Bastian’s journey began, and it will always remain close to us. As we evolve, it feels right to honour the depth of South Indian cuisine through Ammakai while also bringing the energy and indulgence of Bastian to Juhu in a fresh new way. We’re closing one chapter, but two new stories are waiting to be written, and we can’t wait to welcome you into them,” it concluded.

Previously, Shilpa had stated, “This Thursday marks the end of an era as we bid farewell to one of Mumbai’s most iconic destinations – BASTIAN BANDRA. A venue that gave us countless memories, unforgettable nights, and moments that shaped the city’s nightlife now takes its final bow.” Fans of the restaurant chain showed dissatisfaction for the news. However, the decision of the makers to expand the chain has brought in relief amongst Bastian’s admirers.
