Dubai, UAE: On the ground floor of Novotel Dubai Al Barsha, is a seemingly ordinary library, with seemingly ordinary bookshelves. But, just when you least expect it, one of the bookshelves transforms into a door that swings open to reveal something truly unexpected.
Welcome to the hidden gem called Flying Elephant. A whimsical speakeasy-cocktail bar that captures the essence of Bombay’s 1950s-60s underground scene.
Every Saturday, the restaurant hosts a special brunch party called the Flying Elephant Mystical Mixology.
It’s far from an ordinary brunch. It’s dramatic, chaotic, and will transform your Saturdays.
From the moment you step inside, you’re transported under the big top. The energy is infectious and the menu innovative.
A Feast for the Senses: The Menu & Mixology
The sharing-style set menu is a delightful fusion of modern Indian flavours, inviting you to dive into innovative bites like the Truffle Mushroom Galouti, savour the rich Dhungaar Butter Chicken, or enjoy the coastal essence of the Chemeen Curry. For those with a sweet tooth, the Tres Leches Ras Malai is a showstopper you won’t want to miss, promising a sweet ending to your culinary adventure.
To complement these bold flavours, prepare your palate for a journey of inventive mixology. Sip your way through signature cocktails like the sophisticated Old Fashioned Delhi, the zesty Spiced Paloma, or the refreshing Citrus Veil.
Alongside these creative concoctions, a free-flowing selection of spirits and wine ensures the good times keep pouring, perfectly matching the vibrant energy of the brunch.
