Mumbai debuts its inaugural restaurant focusing on Mala flavor cuisine
In the heart of Mumbai, a new culinary adventure awaits at Bang Bang! Noodle Bar. The restaurant, the first MaLa-forward noodle bar in the city, has been launched by Chef Rahul Punjabi, a culinary maestro with over a decade of experience at renowned establishments such as Sydney's Restaurant Quay and Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra.
The menu at Bang Bang! is a symphony of flavours, inspired by Chef Punjabi's time in Sydney's Chinatown. It showcases punchy flavor profiles using true Sichuan peppercorns, homemade chilli oils, and slow-braised broths. The menu offers a variety of flavor-packed small plates, hand-crafted noodles made to order, and freshly wrapped wontons in various broths or curries.
One of the highlights on the menu is the creative Typhoon Shelter Paneer and the popular Bang Bang! Prawn Toast. For those seeking a nourishing option, the Ma La Collagen Pork Noodle Soup, cooked for 24 hours, is a must-try. For the fearless, the Pepperberry Chicken and the Pixian Chilli Basil Pork Belly are not to be missed. The Chengdu street food favourite, Biang Biang Mien, also finds a place on the menu.
Noodle enthusiasts are spoiled for choice with options like the Classic Ma La Bang Bang! and the dramatic Bang Bang! Flying Noodles. The meal concludes with a creative dessert, the Chilli Oil Soft Serve.
To celebrate Raksha Bandhan, Bang Bang! Noodle Bar has launched a five-course menu. While the exact dishes in the menu are not fully detailed, it includes creative and popular dishes representative of their style. However, the exact full list of all five dishes in the menu is not provided in the available search results.
