Ambience
From the moment you step into BaaMee, you’re transported into a colourful, dynamic space that blends Memphis-inspired design with modern touches. The entrance, marked by Art Deco-themed theatre signage, sets the tone for a playful yet sophisticated experience. The bold geometric shapes and vivid colour palette—featuring blue bar counters, pink walls, and red bar backdrops—make for an eye-catching interior. The monthly rotating framed posters add an evolving layer to the decor, ensuring that each visit feels fresh and unique. Whether you're there for brunch, a casual meal, or a business meeting, BaaMee’s high-energy vibe ensures it’s always a good time.
Food
BaaMee's menu is as diverse and eclectic as its decor, with dishes that draw inspiration from global cuisines but are prepared using innovative techniques. The bar at BaaMee is a destination in itself, offering a carefully curated list of signature cocktails designed to complement the vibrant atmosphere. Standout concoctions like The Pink City and Blushing Beauty deliver both creativity and balance, while drinks like Adams Café by the Bay and Burning Obsession push the boundaries of flavor. For those who enjoy clarified cocktails, the Nebula Nectar and Danny D provide a smooth and refined sip, perfect for pairing with BaaMee’s bold dishes. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual brunch drink or a more adventurous evening cocktail, the bar program promises to elevate your experience.
What We Tried
We started with the Egg and Hen Dumpling, a delightful blend of tender chicken and soft-cooked egg that offered a rich and comforting bite. Next came the Asparagus Bombil Tempura Roll, a sushi dish that balanced textures and flavours beautifully. The crispy tempura coating added crunch, while the fresh asparagus and the seafood essence of bombil brought a unique twist to the roll.
For mains, we chose the Hong Kong Clay Pot Rice, a dish that featured perfectly cooked rice in a clay pot, topped with mushrooms and greens. The result was a deliciously smoky flavour with crispy rice edges that added an extra layer of texture. We also tried the Bang Bang Flat Noodles, where wide, flat noodles were stir-fried in a spicy and creamy sauce, creating a bold and satisfying dish packed with flavour.
What We Liked
What stood out for us was the Egg and Hen Dumpling—its combination of tender chicken and soft-cooked egg created a comforting, rich bite that felt both familiar and indulgent. The Bang Bang Flat Noodles impressed with its bold, spicy, and creamy sauce, elevating the wide, flat noodles into a flavorful and satisfying main course. Each dish had a distinctive character, making the entire dining experience dynamic and memorable.
Verdict
BaaMee All Day Eatery & Bar is a must-visit for those who appreciate a vibrant atmosphere paired with inventive, globally inspired cuisine. Whether you’re there for a meal or just drinks, the unique design and diverse menu promise an experience that excites all your senses. With its playful retro-modern aesthetic, excellent food, and high-energy bar program, BaaMee is set to become one of Mumbai’s hottest dining spots.
