Sweeney Turns Up the Heat on Thai Dining in Mumbai

From Bangkok-style favourites and Thai-inspired sushi to a new weekday Bangkok Lunch Club and cocktails, Sweeney is putting Thai flavours at the heart of its Khar garden.

Sweeney is entering a new chapter, placing Thai food firmly at the centre of its culinary identity. Set within its lush Khar garden, the restaurant is bringing together the flavours people travel to Bangkok for- hot, sour, sweet, spicy and deeply aromatic,  through classics, contemporary interpretations and a playful Sweeney lens. The idea isn’t to recreate a conventional Thai restaurant. It is to capture the energy of eating and drinking in Bangkok and translate it into Sweeney: generous food, cocktails, music, a garden and a table designed for sharing. 

Thai small plates open the menu with a selection of dishes designed for sharing, bringing together familiar flavours and Sweeney’s own interpretations. Som Tam with Peanut Crunch, Miang Kham, Thai Chicken Satay, Thai Basil Prawns and Crispy Squid Thai Herbs bring together the fresh, spicy and aromatic notes associated with Thai cooking. Vegetarian options include Cottage Cheese Pad Prik Thai Dam, Tofu Pepper Garlic and Crispy Shiitake Mushroom, while Gai Med Pad Mamuang and Pe Prik Sod add chicken and lamb to the selection.

Thai × Japanese takes a more playful approach, bringing Thai flavours into familiar sushi formats. Green Curry Crab Roll, Som Tam Smoke Salmon Roll and Tom Yam Crispy Prawn Roll bring Thai profiles to the sushi counter, alongside Larb Het Maki Roll and Chilli Tempura Roll. The section reflects Sweeney’s approach to the cuisine, taking familiar flavours and presenting them in unexpected formats.

Curries, wok dishes and grills bring the menu back to more familiar Thai favourites, with the Classic Thai Green Curry, Panang Curry and Hot Basil Chicken Bowl leading the selection. From the grill, Tofu Broccoli Satay, Grilled Cottage Cheese Steak, Lemongrass Grilled Chicken and Chilli Tamarind Salmon offer another expression of the cuisine and continue to shape the flavours across the section.

A key new highlight of the Sweeney experience is the Bangkok Lunch Club, bringing the Bangkok-inspired story into the afternoon with a new weekday offering built around five courses. Designed as a relaxed lunch experience, it brings together a selection of Sweeney’s Thai-led flavours for diners looking to spend an afternoon in Bangkok, without leaving Khar. Five courses. One afternoon in Bangkok.

The Bangkok story continues into Sweeney’s cocktail programme, with cocktails such as Tuk Tuk, Bangkok Breeze, Zen Garden, Victoria’s Bloom and Sweeney-Tini bringing a playful, Bangkok-inspired perspective to the drinks menu. Together with Sweeney’s music, garden setting and social atmosphere, the drinks are designed to make the experience extend well beyond the meal.

The Thai influence continues through desserts, with Mango Sticky Rice served in both its classic form and as a Mango Sticky Rice Crème Brûlée, alongside Tub Tim Krob and Thai Burnt Caramel Toast. The selection brings a mix of familiar flavours and playful takes to the end of the meal.

Whether it’s a long lunch, a dinner with friends or cocktails that carry the evening forward, Sweeney brings a fresh, easy-going way to experience Thai food in Mumbai.
