Kona Kona All Day Bar in Andheri West – Where Nostalgia Meets New-Age Chill

There’s something instantly familiar yet refreshingly new about Kona Kona All Day Bar in Mumbai. An inviting little gem by Mona Singh, who many of us remember from the nostalgic TV days of Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin. If you’ve ever screamed that title song into your pillow after school, walking into Kona Kona feels like reconnecting with a long-lost friend—one who’s now grown up, well-traveled, stylish, and pouring you a strong drink with a side of sass.

Tucked into a lively neighbourhood near media houses and buzzing creatives, Kona Kona All Day Bar is fast becoming one of the best after-work bars in Mumbai. It’s casual without trying too hard, stylish without being intimidating, and chill without being lazy. Whether you're here to catch up on gossip with your crew, vent about deadlines, or just take a solo breather, this celebrity-owned bar fits the vibe perfectly.

Mona’s vision for Kona Kona was simple: create a space that feels like it’s always been there—a second home that encourages you to kick back, vent about life, laugh about nothing, and sip something truly great.

The Vibe
The design at Kona Kona All Day Bar in Mumbai is equal parts quirky and cozy. Think: moody lighting, fun iconography, and the unforgettable “Duck Man” in an evening suit who welcomes you like an old buddy ready for mischief. The outdoor seating caters to smokers and fresh-air seekers, while the inside is a visual treat, glowing red thanks to the staff’s signature Kona Kona T-shirts.

The service? Impeccably warm. The team exudes chill energy with bright smiles, making everyone feel instantly at ease. With about 2000 square feet of thoughtfully designed space, the bar comfortably seats 100 people across cozy indoor corners and a breezy, pet-friendly outdoor section (complete with plans for a menu just for the pups—how cool is that?).

The Food – Chakna, But Make It Boujee
Gone are the days of sad peanuts in a bowl. Kona Kona brings the chakna game to gourmet levels. We kicked things off with the Bihari TP Nimki, a crispy snack paired with a tangy chutney that hits the perfect salty-sour spot with cocktails. Add the Thai Peanuts and K-Pop Chakna, and you’ve got a snacking platter that’s a flavorful dance across continents.

When it comes to starters, every dish was a win. The Darjeeling Jhol Jhal Momo brought soul-warming spice, while the Fried Fish Chips were crunchy and comforting. We loved the Chicken Kafreal Poie for its Goan punch, and the Chicken Gular Kebab was tender and aromatic. But the show-stealer? The Thecha Butter Garlic Prawns—spicy, buttery, and finger-licking good.

We wrapped things up with the Alleppy Raw Mango Curry, a Kerala-inspired main that balanced tang and warmth with finesse. It was a comforting end to a flavour-packed ride. The food menu—crafted by Chefs Jasleen Marwah and Neetu Solanki—is rooted in memory, emotion, and shared nostalgia. Think comforting flavours with surprising twists.

The Drinks – Drama in a Glass
The cocktail menu is adventurous but grounded, perfect for all kinds of drinkers.

• The Bombay Sour is a must for whiskey lovers; it is smooth with a surprising wine float that elevates the sip.
• Madame Titli is pure Instagram-meets-mixology magic. It’s a gin-based cocktail with a butterfly garnish that feels as whimsical as its name.
• Bulbul, a vodka and kala khatta concoction, flirts with your taste buds in the best way.
• Kill Bill is a bold blend of tequila, jalapeno brine, pineapple juice, and coriander leaves; it's spicy, sweet, and not for the faint-hearted. Tarantino didn’t inspire it, but it is a revenge drink for your worst day.

Final Take
Kona Kona All Day Bar isn’t just a bar—it’s a mood, a memory, a moment. Whether you’re in for casual drinks, nostalgic nibbles, or a full-blown unwind session, this very affordable spot delivers without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place that stays on your mind long after the last sip, like that one iconic TV show from your childhood. Only this time, the drinks are stronger and the vibes are better.

Cheers to good chakna, better cocktails, and the best company.
