Experience the essence of Luxurious Indian Cuisine & Cocktail Bar

Welcome to Baithak




Our restaurant takes its name from a simple, sacred tradition.
Baithak (बैठक), meaning “a sitting” or “gathering,” is the soul of Indian hospitality. It’s where time slows, conversations take centre stage, and meals are shared like memories. In Indian culture, a baithak is more than just a room. It’s a space where people come together to talk, eat, and connect. Whether it’s neighbours dropping by unannounced, families gathering for evening chai, or guests being welcomed with warmth and food, the baithak is where relationships grow.
Its form may change, but its spirit stays constant. In cities, a baithak might be a cosy living room – soft chairs gathered around trays of snacks, the air filled with conversation. In rural Punjab, it could be a charpoy under the shade of a tree, where elders share stories over steaming cups of tea and fresh food makes its way from the kitchen. Yet across places and generations, the meaning remains unchanged: a space where hearts gather, and connections are nourished.
Inspired by tradition, Baithak embodies what we aim to build – a place of ease and welcome, where meals nourish more than just appetite, and hospitality is served with heart.
We welcome you not just to a table – but to a tradition of togetherness.
