Hyderabad: Shilpa Shetty and Ranjit Bindra co-own Bastian, one of Mumbai’s most luxurious and talked-about restaurants. Once boasting three outlets, the chain will now operate only one Bastian at the Top in Dadar. The Bandra branch, a celebrity hotspot for years, has closed its doors, following the earlier shutdown of the Worli outlet.
Bastian’s earnings
Writer Shobhaa De recently shared jaw-dropping details about Bastian’s earnings on the Inside Out with Barkha Duttpodcast. She revealed that the restaurant earns an astonishing Rs. 2-3 crore per night, even on slow days. “The kind of money in Mumbai is astonishing. One single restaurant in Mumbai has a turnover of Rs 2-3 crore a night. On slow night, the turnover is Rs 2 crore and on weekends it is Rs 3 crore. I walked into that restaurant to see it myself because when I heard these numbers… I said this can’t be true.”
De described Bastian at the Top as a massive 21,000-square-foot spaceoffering a 360 view of Mumbai.
According to her, the restaurant can accommodate around 1,400 diners in two sessions. Guests, including the city’s elite, arrive in luxury cars like Lamborghinis and Aston Martins. “Every table spends in lakhs. It’s a world of its own,” De added.
