In the ever-evolving rhythm of Lyla Bombay, there’s a certain ease that has come to define it over the past two years. What began as a vibrant new entrant in BKC has, settled into its stride as a go-to address equally suited for a working lunch, an unhurried midweek evening, or a lingering Sunday with family.
As Lyla marks its second anniversary, the focus shifts from just the plate to the experience layered, immersive, and designed to draw guests in, no matter the day of the week. Alongside, Lyla also unveils a refreshed menu bringing together a broader, globally inspired selection that reflects its all-day dining ethos, effortlessly transitioning from light, leisurely daytime fare to more indulgent, evening-forward plates.
At the heart of this celebration is the introduction of Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays, a weekly ritual that transforms the space into something far more intimate. As the lights dim and candlelight takes over, the evening unfolds through music that feels both familiar and personal. The space lends itself to a slow, intuitive transition into the evening. cocktails in hand, as the line between performer and audience gently dissolves into a shared, easy rhythm. It’s a midweek reset that feels both elevated and uncontrived.
Come Saturday & Sunday, the mood shifts entirely. Lyla’s weekend brunches, already a favourite among the city’s discerning diners, have grown into expansive, multi-generational affairs. A lavish grazing table setting the tone for a laid-back afternoon, while a DIY burger station brings in a fun, hands-on element. Live performances keep the energy up through the afternoon, while thoughtfully curated activities for children ensure that younger guests are just as engaged. The result is a brunch that feels generous in spirit and seamless in execution, one that balances sophistication with warmth, making it as much about connection as it is about cuisine.
Beyond these anchor moments, Lyla continues to position itself as an all-day dining destination fluid in its offering and versatile in its appeal. From relaxed lunches and after-work cocktails to celebratory dinners, it’s a space that adapts effortlessly to the city’s pace, while still offering a sense of escape.
Speaking on the milestone, Pawan Shahri, Owner, shares,
“With Lyla, the idea was always to create a space that people could return to, at different times, for different reasons, but always for a consistent sense of energy and comfort. Two years in, it’s been incredible to see that vision come to life. With our Wednesday evenings and weekend brunches, we’re excited to keep building experiences that feel both special and easy, something that becomes a part of people’s weekly rhythm.”
With its evolving menu and a calendar of experiences that keep things feeling fresh, Lyla continues to strike that balance between high energy and laid-back comfort, making it as much a weekly habit as it is a destination.
