Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality has unveiled the launch of Smoke House Café at Sky City Mall, ushering in a new phase in the 15-year journey of Smoke House Deli.
The refreshed format builds on the brand’s established legacy while introducing a contemporary café concept tailored to today’s evolving neighbourhood dining culture. Retaining the soul of Smoke House Deli, the new café offers a more refined, cleaner and calmer environment, thoughtfully designed to reflect how people connect and gather in the present day.
Smoke House Café draws inspiration from global flavours, cultures, and the journeys ingredients take across borders — where a single element can narrate a different story in every kitchen. Anchored in its philosophy, From The World, To You, the café looks beyond geography to explore what the world is eating, craving, and talking about, embracing new ingredients, techniques, and inventive pairings.
These international influences are thoughtfully interpreted into dishes that feel both familiar and exciting — comforting yet distinctive. The result is a dining experience crafted for everyday indulgence, relaxed conversations, and becoming a cherished neighbourhood favourite.
Riyaaz Amlani, Founder and Managing Director, Impresario Entertainment and Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., said, “With Smoke House Café, we are introducing a format that feels current, intentional and deeply rooted in hospitality. It is about giving our guests something new without losing the emotional connection they have always had with the brand. This is the future of Smoke House, more contemporary, more neighbourhood driven, and built for everyday belonging.”
Located within Sky City Mall, Smoke House Café is envisioned as a neighbourhood retreat, a place you return to for leisurely lunches that stretch into the evening, quick mid-week bites, relaxed family dinners, or unhurried catch-ups.
In a locality like Borivali, where community and familiarity are deeply valued, the café has been thoughtfully crafted to reflect that very spirit at its heart.
Vinod Shetty, Operations Head, Smoke House Café, said, “With Smoke House Café, we wanted to build something that feels natural to the neighbourhood. Borivali has a strong family culture, but it is also evolving and aspirational. The menu reflects that balance. We have strengthened our vegetarian offerings, clarified the structure, and introduced a dedicated kids’ section so that the experience feels complete. It is about creating a café that people can keep coming back to, across occasions and across life stages.”
The interiors adopt a contemporary design language, subtly inspired by the lush greenery and untamed landscape of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, one of Borivali’s most iconic landmarks. Earthy textures, organic silhouettes, and muted palettes create a harmonious dialogue between nature and modern living.
The space feels anchored yet not rustic, sophisticated yet never aloof. The result is a café that is warm, inviting, and intrinsically connected to its surroundings — an urban setting imbued with a strong and authentic sense of place.
Commenting on the launch, Tanu Prasad, CEO Malls, Oberoi Realty said, “As a brand that has consistently resonated with discerning urban consumers, its refreshed and contemporary format aligns seamlessly with our vision of offering thoughtfully curated experiences that blend quality with comfort.”
