A new Indian restaurant named ‘Bombay House’ is set to open in the UAE, launched by Dubai-based Sowaka Hospitality. The establishment pays homage to Ratan Tata, the esteemed leader of the Tata Group, who passed away on October 9, 2024. This venture aims to honor Tata’s visionary leadership and philanthropic spirit, which have left a significant impact on both the industry and society.
The Bombay House restaurant aspires to elevate the Indian dining experience in Dubai, aligning itself with the core values of excellence, integrity, and innovation that characterized Tata’s legacy. The name ‘Bombay House’ reflects Ratan Tata’s influential role in shaping the Tata Group’s headquarters, a space renowned for its unique character and community-focused initiatives.
Ratan Tata was well-known for his compassion, particularly towards animals. In a notable gesture in 2018, he established a kennel on the ground floor of Bombay House, equipped with amenities for stray dogs. This commitment to kindness continues to resonate through the new restaurant’s mission.
To further honor Tata’s legacy, Bombay House has pledged to donate five percent of its profits to charitable initiatives in the UAE, specifically targeting cancer care and animal shelters. This philanthropic commitment underscores the restaurant’s dedication to making a positive impact in the community.
Bombay House will showcase a diverse menu that blends classic Indian flavors with modern culinary techniques, celebrating India’s rich gastronomic heritage. The restaurant aims to serve as a cultural hub, providing a refined and welcoming atmosphere for guests to experience the essence of Indian cuisine.
