Mumbai’s luxury hideaway just got even more irresistible. Merlin’s 99 – The Whisky Lounge at The Orchid Hotel Mumbai has always been a sanctuary for lovers of rare drams and velvet-lined evenings. But with the launch of its daringly delicious new menu, this whisky wonderland transforms into a full-blown sensory playground. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur, a spice-seeker, or someone who believes good food should come with a side of theatre, Merlin's 99 is ready to serve—flair first.
Here
are some reasons WHAT’S HOT IN INDIA recommends a visit:
1. The Gulkand Margarita – A
Floral Fantasy in a Glass
Tequila
meets rose petals, candied gulkand, and high fashion in a cocktail that’s as
Instagrammable as it is intoxicating. This isn't just a drink; it's an edible
ode to Holi nights and vintage glamour.
2. Gunpowder Prawns – Spice
Meets Style
These
prawns are not for the faint-hearted. Infused with fiery South Indian gunpowder
masala, they arrive with a sizzle and leave a lingering spice trail you'll
crave long after.
3. 99 Whiskies – No, Seriously.
Ninety-Nine.
From
single malts to global blends, the curation is deep, diverse, and
unapologetically indulgent. Whether you're new to whisky or a seasoned sipper,
this is your tasting playground.
4. Mumbai in a Glass – The City,
Cocktail-ified
Every
drink tells a story. The Tardeo
Twilight, Crawford
Spice Market, Tropical
Thar, and Dakshin
are poetic takes on Mumbai’s moods—from neon nights to curry-leaf-kissed
coastlines. It’s mixology that maps the metropolis.
5. Mac & Moonshine – Comfort Food, Grown Up
Creamy,
decadent mac and cheese gets a rebellious upgrade with a hint of moonshine.
Perfect for those who like their nostalgia with a kick.
6. Vegetarian Dishes with
Attitude
The
Cajun-Spiced Cottage Cheese Steak and Peri Peri Paneer Rolls prove that veg
food doesn’t have to play it safe. These dishes come dressed to impress—and
deliver.
7. Kolkata-Style Chicken Cutlets
– Vintage Vibes, New Energy
A
throwback to Park Street charm, these cutlets are crisp on the outside, juicy
inside, and dressed to dine. Pure old-school joy meets modern swagger.
8. Velvet Booths & Moody
Lights – A Cinematic Escape
The
ambience is a sensory lullaby: dimly lit, jazz-touched, and utterly seductive.
It's Gatsby meets Bombay noir. Come for the cocktails, stay for the vibe.
9. Loaded Nachos That Actually
Deliver
Merlin’s
version of this classic is not your average bar snack. With layers of smoky
beans, gooey cheese, and heat-kissed toppings, it’s a platter built for
indulgence.
