Waikiki - at the Peninsula Grand Hotel - Andheri (Mumbai)

Andheri, India

Opened May 7th, 2024 at the Waikiki, Peninsula Grand Hotel, Andheri East.

Created by the Peninsula Hospitality Group.

This two-storeyed contemporary dining restaurant and tiki bar exemplifies modern high concept.

Unlike traditional tiki bars which have layers of artifacts and artwork, Waikiki depends on a few large statement pieces bolstered by prints and patterns to lend support.

They have one significant tiki statue in the restaurant that is covered in gold and also serves as a backdrop for the DJ booth which is active nights and weekends.

The center of the dining area has a glass chandelier sculpture (supposed to resemble an upside down volcano).

The overall sense of the decor is being enveloped in a swath of carefully chosen textiles and fabrics with tropical leaf wallpaper, animal skin prints, and leafy plants featuring prominently for a tropical vibe.

There are also some interesting nature motifs at play, including some stained glass window images of dragonflies. More dragonflies and butterflies are also worked into a mosaic wall on the backbar.

Food is Hawaiian inspired Pan Asian fusion.

Waikiki also features a carefully curated cocktail menu by renowned consultant mixologist Karl Fernandes.
