A fastidious ambiance welcomes you to Khubani where a large fountain with a two-story dome houses an elegant bar in the center. The Persian-themed decor is stunning with beautiful rugs adorning the walls and chandeliers hanging down with lights splashing from the roof to the floor.
I made a start to the Khubani experience, with a Royal of Khubani cocktail in which gin was fired up with spices. If you are a fan of Vodka, then “Revolution” must be your choice where the drink is conjoined by spicy flavors and orange juice. For a desi beat you can enjoy Chai Martini.
