With the idea ‘You Only Live Once’, YOLO Kitchen and Bar is now open at Kankurgachi. Youngsters today live by the YOLO motto, so why not a place dedicated to them? YOLO is a perfect hangout place for you and your friends with great food, innovative drinks and good music. With 3,000sqft and 100 seating capacity, YOLO’s interiors are very spacious and breathable with a brown and green colour palette of wooden and grass walls.
Having an all-veg menu, the food is delicious and has innovative platters like the Chaat Platter, Chakna Platter, Tandoori Kebab Platter and more, which gives a twist to your non-veg favourites. YOLO will be hosting festive parties with guest performances and there will be a live DJ every day for your entertainment. So next time if you wonder about a cool hangout spot with good food and cool drinks, make sure to think about YOLO because you only live once!
“Our target audience is the youngsters. YOLO is a place where people can come in and have a great time with our good food, good drinks and chill in a good ambience. Kankurgachi is a thriving hub with young people and around this area there’s really no proper lounge. Hence, the idea to open a kitchen and bar here for the target audience has been great. We hope to see all groups of people here and enjoy the vibe of the place,” says co-founders Arvind Bhatnagar (right) and Sunil Nahata
The bar counter gives a modern vibe with marble table-top, tall faux leather-cushioned bar stools, and neon light-bordered mirror. Spread over approximately 3,000sqft, the interiors of YOLO are spacious. The decor has been kept to a brown and green palette with wooden and grass walls to give a calming and natural vibe to the place
