If you’re in Goa this weekend and craving a slice of Mumbai’s Bandra, you’re in luck. From September 19 to 21, Elephant & Co. (ECO) in Anjuna is hosting a one-of-a-kind food pop-up, transforming its space into a Bandra neighbourhood annex with eight of the suburb’s most beloved restaurants and bars.
Bandra in Anjuna
For ECO partner Karan Khilnani, a self-proclaimed Bandra boy, the idea was obvious: bring Bandra’s food culture — casual yet varied — to Goa’s eclectic dining scene. “It’s a balance Goa would connect with,” he explains. Unlike typical one-on-one collaborations, this ambitious takeover features multiple restaurants, each showcasing their signature dishes across three days.
The Line-Up
Here’s what’s cooking in Anjuna:
Friday, Sept 19
- Khao Man Gai – Chef Seefah Ketchaiyo’s famed one-dish spot serving Hainanese chicken rice
- The Daily All Day – cocktails and Euro-Mediterranean plates with live music
Saturday, Sept 20
- Darry’s House – part café, co-working space, part burger joint
- Boojee Café – specialty coffee
- Sixteen33 – debut bar pop-up
- Jai Jawan – cult North Indian tandoori chain
- Pack-a-Pav – street-style sandwiches loved across Mumbai
Sunday, Sept 21
- Benne – the new dosa diner with a cult following
- Elephant & Co. behind the bar with Goenchi Feni cocktails
Something New Every Day
Each restaurant is bringing 8–10 of their signature dishes or drinks, served on exclusive menus. With different names each day, visitors can keep coming back for fresh flavours all weekend long.
Why It Matters
Since opening in Anjuna in 2022, Elephant & Co. has become a nightlife staple with its breezy courtyard overlooking paddy fields. This takeover is not just about food — it’s about cultural exchange between two buzzing neighbourhoods: Bandra and Anjuna.
For food lovers, this three-day pop-up is the perfect chance to experience Bandra’s legendary dining culture without leaving Goa.
