Let's start with the show's main attraction: the cocktails. Barood's latest innovations promise to take your taste senses on a world tour. Each cocktail is carefully made with components that evoke the character of the drink. The "Bombay Brat" ($24) is a tantalising concoction of Sailor Jerry Rum, halwa, and kesar kesturi that will transport you straight to the bustling streets of Mumbai.
The "Santiago Sour" ($24) has clear, warm flavours thanks to its unique blend of Pisco Waqar, clarified tropical juice, and red wine.
For those yearning for a taste of Australia, the "Sydney Spritz" ($24) is a must-try, made with IPA Brewlander, Duppy Shade White Rum, Aperol, Luxardo Apricot liqueur, and lime.
Don't feel left out, Paris lovers. The "Paris 69" ($28) evokes the romantic essence of the city with Gin Citadelle, champagne, sea buckthorn, St. Germain, black orange, and noisette. For those looking for a taste of a sunny English day, try the "London Summer" ($24), a delectable blend of gin, Pimm's, Strawberry Bols, and scented tea.

Hot Eats to Go with Your Drinks
Of course, wonderful cocktails require equally delectable food to accompany them, and Barood does not disappoint.

The "Malabar Pork Tacos" ($26) are a must-try for visitors looking for a flavour of Barood's Latin Indian roots. These tacos are packed with smokey pastore - pulled pork cooked with Malabar spices like coriander, cumin, and cloves - and topped with a delectable Amul cheese dip.
The "Momo Calcutta" ($14), packed with ginger chicken and garnished with a Goan sambal, and the vegetarian "Gyoza Calcutta" ($14), stuffed with delicious mushrooms and peas, will please dumpling fans. The "Au Poivre Wings" ($18) at Barood are coated in black pepper and given a spicy touch with a splash of lime and sautéed onions.
Finally, the 'Bombay Creme Brulee' ($12) awaits those with a sweet craving - a velvety treat caressed with the warmth of saffron and the sweetness of fresh corn.
