CIRQA 1960

A homage to the cosmopolitan essence of Mumbai.

Can a bar and restaurant pay homage to the cosmopolitan essence of Mumbai? That was the seed thought behind CIRQA 1960, and the challenge our founders decided to take up.

CIRQA 1960 is a passion project focused on the art of making cocktails, by Flavour Pot Food founders and brothers Pankaj and Avinash Gupta. Mixing their expertise in Indian hospitality concepts with inspiration from their travels, they were soon joined by Adele de Fontbrune, a culture-oriented entrepreneur with extensive experience working with food and beverage ventures in Paris and London. Add a few other brilliant minds and a lot of very passionate people to the project and CIRQA 1960 was born!

A “bar within a bar”, CIRQA 1960 is a speakeasy created in a former mill in Lower Parel, a subtle wink to the past of a city that now looks to the future. Many travellers may have found a home in Mumbai over the years, leaving some of their culinary traditions behind. True-to-form, Mumbai adapted and re-invented their flavours, a truly unique trait of its own adventure.

At CIRQA 1960, we hope to serve some of this heritage on a plate. Enjoy while sipping the time away.
