Converted from an old mill Shiro feels larger than life compared with the rest of Mumbai's low ceiling bars.
With gigantic stone statues leading into a 4,000 square foot area of glowing lanterns with lush bamboo thickets and soothing pools of water, Shiro would seem like the last place to go crazy in Mumbai.
But this popular pan-Asian restaurant/bar is home to retro-themed Friday nights, when the high-ceilinged lounge is so crowded you need to balance your drink on your head and stand on one foot to hold your space (ok not quite but you get the picture).
It's full-on nostalgia as Mumbai sings along to 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s tunes (everything from Funkytown to ABBA and Kylie Minogue) accompanied by Shiro's cheese rolls, crispy aromatic duck or wasabi prawns.
A posh place, though of late the vibe is somewhat less kicking than when it launched, Shiro is still not bad at all.
