From the house of Gujrals that crafted the city’s famous hangout spots like Wafira, Makati and Botanik, comes Jannaat Club. The new hangout is a destination for music lovers as the club is going to host live performances by budding artistes as well as famous musicians from all over the country. Soothing interiors, soulful music and a multi-cuisine menu will make for a pleasant experience. Matching with the name Jannaat, which means paradise in Urdu, the club will be hosting soulful Sufi nights every Saturday. The new spot has a mouth-watering multi-cuisine menu which includes some Turkish specials like Mezze Platter, Pita Pockets, Shawarma and many more with a refreshing bar menu comprising cocktails and mocktails made with seasonal flavours.
What: Jannaat Club
Where: The Golden Parkk, 13 Harrington Street
Timings: 5 pm-4 am (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays)
Meal for two: Rs 2,000 and Rs 3,500 with alcohol
With 3,500sq ft area, the seating arrangement of Jannaat Club is directed towards the stage area so that the guests can enjoy the live performances from their seats. The middle space is spacious enough for guests to sway with the music. The Madrix lights change with every mood and genre of music.
The stage area is where the main focus is. The background wall of the stage is covered by carpets imported from Dubai to add an Arabic touch to the place. Apart from the techno lights, the small chandeliers will light up the stage during soulful Sufi nights, to give that authentic Arabic vibe.

“Our idea behind the Jannaat Club was to make it a performance-based outlet which will act like a platform for national, urban and local artistes. Golden Parkk has become a platform for entrepreneurs, bartenders and more. Similarly, we wanted to give a platform to the new budding artistes and musicians. We have already lined up a bunch of artistes who will deliver on our vision. We named it Jannaat because we wanted to make the place a theme-based outlet, a theme where you will find peace with music and relax. Every corner of Jannaat Club has been curated by our fellow teammates like our general manager MD Nadeem Siddiqui, our marketing team led by Reema Pramanick, operational manager Pratuysh Goswami and Jannaat Club’s executive chef Prokash Biswas,” said Gaganjeet Singh Gujral, director, The Golden Parkk and Golden Retreat.
