Sorena Brings Five-City Dining and Playful Cocktails to Bandra
Sorena is a new restaurant in Bandra, Mumbai.
It serves food and drinks inspired by five cities: Mumbai, New York, Sicily, Tokyo and Istanbul.
The restaurant is spread over two floors and has a large chandelier and a central bar.
The reviewer liked several dishes, including chicken, a mushroom dish and two desserts.
The salmon sushi was less successful for the reviewer.
The cocktails are creative, but some worked better than others.
The reviewer says the restaurant is especially appealing for its setting, familiar food and range of drinks.
A meal for two costs about ₹4,000, including alcohol.
Sorena occupies two floors of Mansionz One on Linking Road in Bandra, with a large chandelier, central bar and spaces for groups and private dining.
Its menu draws on Mumbai, New York, Sicily, Tokyo and Istanbul, aiming to keep dishes recognizable while reflecting each city's influences.
The review praised dishes including Istanbul-inspired Zaatar Chicken, Mumbai-style Dingri Dolma and two desserts, while finding the Rainbow Salmon Sushi less convincing.
Cocktails use varied ingredients and techniques, but the review found their success uneven; No Loose Ends was described as relatively flat.

Head Chef who created Sorena’s menu.
“We looked beyond the obvious associations of each city and explored its mood, flavours and drinking culture, then translated those into cocktails that felt natural within Sorena's identity.”

“Each city has a distinct food identity, but all five are also deeply cosmopolitan, shaped by many cultures, flavours and cooking traditions coming together.”
