Anglo Indian Café & Bistro A Melting Pot of Western Flavours with a Touch of Indian Flair

09/08/2021

Nestled in the hills of Lonavala, the sweet escape for all city folk, Anglo-Indian Café & Bistro is a treat for the eyes and a feast for the soul. As the name rightly depicts, Anglo-Indian Café & Bistro is the place where East meets West, passion meets flavour, and tradition meets innovation. An integral part of the sprawling 7 acre Le Sutra Great Escapes property, which is to be launched soon, Anglo-Indian strives to provide the best of European dining with a touch of cuisine that brings you back home.

The term “Anglo Indian” originally referred to cuisine influenced by the Portuguese, British, Dutch and French which incorporated a plethora of herbs and spices that were locally grown to develop a delicious cuisine. With a classic yet fun and familiar approach that is innovative, our food focuses on reimagining traditional recipes and showcasing them in a contemporary way. By fusing together signature European dishes brought by the all-time favourite Out of the Blue in Bombay, with a trendy take on classic Indian flavours, the name “Anglo-Indian” highlights a twist in classic cuisine.

Located in the heart of one of the most beautiful areas of Lonavala/ Khandala, just 45 minutes from Mumbai, the aim was to create an escape from the city into the hills. As you walk through the gates, you’re welcomed into a whimsical bistro with a European feel and the hills as your backdrop. The most prominent decor are the large white colonial pillars, the rustic blue Mediterranean inspired floor tiles overlooking lush green mountains. 

The interiors reflect modern elegance and comfort brought about by a Western European setting, with elements like intimate Alfresco dining, European inspired porch area, limitless ceilings, massive French windows, and elements of minimalistic décor. The outdoor seating is another experience altogether, with the charming views of hills right at your feet. Top the aesthetics with some hearty food by the all-star chefs at Out of Blue and you have the perfect dine-in! From a day at breakfast basking in the sun and the breeze from the hills to an evening enjoying a candlelit dinner with your loved ones, the space is catered for any type of occasion, celebratory or intimate.

One of their values is to be Sustainable, Local and Organic (SLO). Right beside the cafe is a small herb and hydroponic garden where most ingredients are sourced from, and the rest come from local, organic vendors. While conceptualizing the menu, the aim was not only to appeal to the Indian taste buds but also to elevate the dining experience in the hills, therefore bringing about a wide selection of Out of the Blue classics with a modernized spin. 

Indulge in the best of fusion flavours with an Indian flair that will leave you overwhelmed and content. Start with a coffee and vibrant salad, indulge in some of their eclectic creations like Cajun Crispy Cauliflower or Chicken Chermoula. Move onto the hero dishes like Sourdough Pizzas, multi-cuisine Backyard Bowls or enjoy a hillside barbeque with their Mustard BBQ Fish or Smoked Chipotle Paneer Tikka. The cafe also offers plant-based options like the Flaxburg (a plant-based crispy burger with Soy Bolognese patty topped with a Spicy Garlic Aioli). End your meal on a sweet note with the newfound Chikki Cheesecake, Out of the Blue’s nostalgic Sizzling Brownie, the Organic Gooey Chocolate Keto Tart and many more. 

Currently, Anglo Indian Cafe is open for Takeout, Delivery and to host private events. Though in a month’s time they are looking to open doors for dine-in. Head over to the hillside escapes and visit Anglo Indian Cafe and Bistro, a homage to the past, and an experience into the future of food.
