When Mouni Roy decided to enter the culinary scene, she didn’t just open a restaurant – she launched an experience. Her dining venture, Badmaash, is a vibrant celebration of Indian food wrapped in the glamour
of contemporary design. Much like Mouni’s on-screen transformations, Badmaash is bold, unapologetic, and just the right amount of dramatic.
Since opening its first outlet in Bengaluru’s Sarjapur area, followed by Mumbai and Kolkata, the restaurant chain has become a hotspot for those who like their food flavourful and their ambience Instagram-worthy. Each location carries the same philosophy – turning traditional Indian comfort food into a chic, sensory affair.

A Jungle Of Joy And Jazz
Walking into Mouni Roy‘s Badmaash feels like stepping into an urban rainforest. The décor is lush yet polished – cascading greenery, earthy tones, and mood-lit corners that strike a balance between cosy and cinematic. Jungle-green walls meet ochre-yellow highlights, while plush seating and curated art make every angle camera-ready.
The Kolkata outpost, in particular, captures this design philosophy perfectly – a calm oasis amid the city’s chaos. It’s where the ambience whispers nature, but the playlist hums nightlife, setting the tone for the indulgent meal to follow.
What’s On The Menu At Mouni Roy’s Badmash?
Badmaash’s menu mirrors its name. It is playful, unexpected, and bursting with personality. A recent report by SCREEN revealed the prices of some of the most popular dishes.

From the street to the table, Badmaash turns familiar favourites into elevated indulgences. Classic small plates like Masala Peanut, Masala Papad, Crispy Corn, and Sev Puri are each priced at Rs 295, perfect for nibbling over cocktails. The hearty Kanda Bhajiya comes in at Rs 355, while the seafood selection – especially the prawn specials – brings a touch of coastal luxury at around Rs 795. To round it all off, the bread basket keeps things classic with Tandoori Roti (Rs 105), Butter Naan (Rs 115), and Amritsari Kulcha (Rs 145) – warm, fluffy, and made for sharing.

And then there’s the showstopper – the now-iconic Avocado Bhel. Priced at Rs 395, it’s a cheeky collision of global and local flavours: creamy avocado, puffed rice, and spice, all mingling in delicious harmony.
Desserts like Shahi Tukda and Gulab Jamun close the meal on a comforting note – familiar, rich, and perfectly indulgent. They are priced at Rs 410 each.
At the bar, cocktails follow the same rule – classic foundations, contemporary spirit. The Mounilicious, a signature gin-based concoction with cucumber, kiwi, and elderflower, is crisp, refreshing, and designed for leisurely sipping under warm café lights.
Badmaash doesn’t just serve food – it stages it. Every plate, every pour, and every corner tells a story of reinvention. It’s a restaurant that celebrates India’s culinary soul, dressed up in modern mischief, much like Mouni Roy herself.
