Step into Flying Elephant at Novotel Dubai Al Barsha, a speakeasy-cocktail bar that captures the essence of Bombay’s 1950s-60s underground scene. Hidden behind a discreet vinyl cabinet door, this unique venue offers a journey into nostalgia, where every drink tells a story. Inspired by the Bombay, before it was Mumbai, when the Prohibition was peaking and the secretive ‘aunty bars’ were where you went for a rebellious night out.

Flying Elephant’s cocktail menu has been crafted in collaboration with Yangdup Lama, one of India’s most celebrated mixologists, renowned for his talent in blending flavors with heritage. Each cocktail is a tribute to India’s diverse regions, featuring natural ingredients that evoke the aromas, flavors, and spirit of the country’s rich history. From aromatic spices to vibrant fruits, these drinks invite guests to explore India’s story, one sip at a time.
