Foo opens in Gourmet Village at Phoenix Palladium, Mumbai. With its bold Pan-Asian flavours and inventive small plates, Foo has evolved from a neighbourhood favourite into one of the city’s most recognisable dining destinations—equally at home hosting business lunches, family dinners, after-work drinks, or lively group celebrations. Its winning formula lies in pairing consistency with creativity, delivering experiences that feel familiar yet never predictable.

The Phoenix Palladium outpost reimagines Foo as Foo 2.0—a playful yet refined take on Asian modernity. Designed by Sarah Sham, the space flows organically, encouraging exploration while balancing pop hues with warm neutrals, sculptural lighting, and layered textures.

With 126 covers, the restaurant offers diverse seating: intimate two-seaters, patterned banquettes, pod-style booths lit with brass-accented lanterns, high tables, and a Private Dining Room. Thoughtful zoning through design and flooring creates distinct moods, from cosy nooks to lively communal spaces.

The new menu features dishes created just for this location, such as Spicy Tropical Salad – lettuce, avocado, yam bean, grapefruit, orange, spicy sesame dressing, Fiery Cottage Cheese Maki – Vegetarian roll with takuan, avocado, sriracha, Spicy Chicken Maki – scallion, cream cheese, fiery Thai sauce, Peking Wontons & Prawns Wontons – zucchini, pok choy, water chestnut in chilli sauce, rolled duck pancakes – with plum, mustard, and chilli oil sauces.

Guests will still find bestsellers like the Truffle Togarashi Black Rice Maki, Spicy Tuna Maki, indulgent dumplings such as Wasabi Truffle Edamame and Sriracha Chicken, big plates like the Foo Yellow Curry and Foo Blue Butter Fried Rice, and the dramatic Mount Foo-ji dessert platter.

Speaking about the launch, brothers Keenan Tham & Ryan Tham, Founders of Pebble Street Hospitality, share “Foo Phoenix Palladium is our vision of what Foo 2.0 looks and feels like. It’s a natural evolution of the brand, more immersive, more expressive, and designed for a new generation of diners. We’ve kept everything people love about Foo, but reimagined the experience to feel bolder, more dynamic, and unmistakably fresh.”

The bar debuts an exclusive cocktail menu for Phoenix Palladium, featuring: Yuzu T&T – tequila, cucumber, yuzu, basil, TNT- tequila, grapefruit, jalapeño shrub, sea salt, Fiery Espresso – vodka, caramel coffee reduction, chilli tincture, kumquat marmalade, Coco Rise – rum, coconut, Aperol, yuzu, lemon, Tropical G&T – gin, mace, pineapple, honey shrub (upgrade to Monkey 47 available), Sakura G&T – pink gin, rosella, elderflower, rose.
