The 10,000 sq ft plus area of the 165 seater makes it one of the largest gastropubs in town.

Their eclectic global menu has been designed by consulting celebrity chef Krishna Khetle from Mumbai.
The menu is curated to take you on a gastronomic journey with an exquisite assortment of flavourful delicacies and innovative textures inspired by Asian, Mediterranean, Italian and Indian cuisines.
The menu also features immunity-boosting food choices.
Zobet’s signature dishes include 'Philadelphia Cream Cheese Dumpling’, 'N.Y Death by Mushroom Pizza', ‘Broccoli Mussalam’, ‘Tandoori Soya Chaap’, ‘Veg Falafel Wrap’, and the ‘North Indian Platter’ among the vegetarian options.

Make sure you also dig into the chef's special ‘Stuffed churros served with Caramel Sauce’ for a happy ending.
The trendy bar is well stocked with specially curated top-shelf spirits, beers, sangrias, cocktails and mocktails.
In-house mixologist, Vikash Singh can stir up a select range of concoctions like, ‘Caramon Manhattan’, ‘Fleur of the valley’, ‘Zobetians, Cuttieetini’ etc., apart from regular ones.
The gastropub has said it is following all the safety and hygiene measures, including adhering to mandatory opening hours, as stipulated by the government.
Said Managing Director, Nikhil Sekhani, “The word ‘zobet’ in Turkish means ‘blessings’ and our brand lives up to this perfectly by being the ideal venue to indulge yourself for a memorable time with family, friends, business clients or even for some quality me-time.”
