Dave & Buster’s levels up the city’s fun quotient
MUMBAI: Roll the dice, raise a toast, and get your game face on, Dave & Buster’s is all set to serve up Mumbai’s most eclectic indoor experience yet. After making waves in Bangalore, the global entertainment dining chain is gearing up for its second Indian outing, this time in the bustling heart of Andheri West, with a brand-new venue at Infinity Mall, launching this June.
Spanning 27,000 sq. ft., the flagship Koramangala location quickly became one of Bangalore’s buzziest hangouts. Now, the Malpani Group, the masterminds behind Dave & Buster’s India and creators of theme park giants like Imagicaa is taking the fun up a notch, as Mumbai becomes the next playground for its high-octane mix of food, drinks, and arcade madness.
Staying true to its global philosophy of “Eat. Drink. Play. Watch.”, the new outlet promises a vibrant, immersive venue where diners can bite into global flavours, sip on inventive cocktails, and play everything from vintage arcade games to modern digital challenges. Think loaded nachos and joystick duels, burgers with a side of buzzer-beaters all under one neon-lit roof.
“Following the phenomenal success in Bangalore, Mumbai was the obvious next destination,” said Malpani Group director Shreya Malpani. “We’re not just opening another venue, we’re creating a city-wide hotspot where culture meets competition and celebration meets social energy.”
With the backing of Malpani Group’s legacy in delivering entertainment that sticks from theme parks to now upscale indoor gaming the Mumbai launch is part of a larger game plan to turn metro venues into multi-sensory entertainment hubs.
Whether you’re in it for the food, the flippers, or the full-throttle fun, one thing’s for sure: Dave & Buster’s is about to make Mumbai play like never before.
