Restaurant India News: IHCL Unveils Its First Flagship ‘Soulinaire’ Restaurant in Alibaug

Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), India’s largest hospitality company, launches their first flagship Soulinaire restaurant in Alibaug, Mumbai. Soulinaire, IHCL’s signature lifestyle catering brand, now finds a permanent home on the Alibaug boardwalk, bringing a vibrant new culinary destination overlooking the Arabian Sea.

Over the years, Soulinaire has evolved into one of India’s most sought-after culinary curators. From orchestrating large-scale events across the country to hosting the most coveted private celebrations and intimate home gatherings, it has become a name synonymous with creativity, craft and celebration.

Somnath Mukherjee, Executive Vice President, West and Head of Food and Beverage- IHCL, said, “Soulinaire represents IHCL’s commitment to delivering elevated and immersive gastronomic experiences. From its inception as a bespoke catering service, it has grown into a brand synonymous with innovation, craftsmanship and warmth. The first flagship restaurant in Alibaug embodies the brand’s philosophy of thoughtful hospitality and culinary artistry.”

Perched on the boardwalk overlooking the Arabian Sea, this 200-seater, two-storey venue redefines seaside dining with the perfect balance of open-air charm and indoor comfort. The ground floor opens out to a breezy terrace and a cool, air-conditioned space, while the first-floor shifts into a warm, coastal mood with bamboo, jute, and sun-washed brick, ideal for private gatherings. At its center, a live kitchen and vibrant food counters create the energy of a culinary stage.

The menu is a love letter to Alibaug — spicy Misal Pav, crisp Bombil Fry, rich Jheenga Masala, and creamy Kaju Ussal that evoke pure nostalgia. Gaoran Kombdi Rassa brings the heat, and Mutton cha Kalvan delivers slow-cooked perfection, best paired with bhakri or kolum rice. For those craving global comfort, the Asian menu tempts with Honey Chilli Potatoes, Sichuan Chicken, and Shaoxing Drunken Fish perfect for when “just one drink” turns into dinner.

With its blend of flavor, flair, and seaside soul, Soulinaire captures the true rhythm of Alibaug where the sea is near, the vibe is easy, and every meal tells a story. Whether it’s your first stop, your last stop, or the best hours in between, this is where Alibaug comes alive.
