The Find Atelier Is Mumbai’s New Weekend Dining Ritual and Cultural Space

A look inside The Find Atelier

Supper clubs are quietly redefining how cities dine—and in Mumbai, this shift is especially palpable. The idea of eating out is no longer just about a meal; it’s about experience, intimacy, and intention. As the city leans into a more curated, slow-living approach to dining, formats like supper clubs are reshaping how we perceive a meal itself—less transactional, more immersive. And it’s within this shift that we recently discovered The Find Atelier—a supper club set inside a beautifully restored 140-year-old Bandra building, quietly redefining what dining in Mumbai can feel like.

Founded by sisters Aalisha and Riona Sable, the 24-seater space is an ode to communal dining, which has long been a tradition of uniting people and is divided between a communal dining room and a private dining room. The space doubles up as a food design studio with events that bring attention to craft, care, and mindful dining. A quote on the brand website by Aalisha reads, "Riona and I always believed in the ritual of no-nonsense communal dining, where conversations exist without barriers. This belief began when we were just two sisters in one big family, watching people gather at our family home in Pune, no matter what the occasion was. Our house was the hub where the doors were always open for neighbours and beyond."

Co-founders of The Find Atelier, Aalisha Sable and Riona Sable

At its core is co-founder and Head Chef Aalisha Sable, who moves away from static dining formats in favour of constant reinvention, whose approach is deeply personal. Growing up in an open, welcoming home in Pune shaped her sense of hospitality—fluid, generous, and instinctive. That foundation is layered with her culinary experiences in Dublin and Italy, bringing a quiet global influence to her cooking. The supper club introduces an entirely new menu every month, with produce sourced from different parts of the nation, allowing the kitchen to evolve through seasonal ingredients, global influences, and deeply personal inspiration. The result is a dining experience that feels fresh and unexpected with every visit, while still anchored in storytelling and craft. "Our menu changes every month, so we can make the most of the diverse Indian landscape and the bounty we have all around us. The dishes are usually inspired by our travels, memories, or simply flavours we want to explore," reads another excerpt on the website.

A First Taste: What We Tried and Loved At The Supper Club

We had the chance to experience the menu firsthand—a thoughtfully curated six-course meal, ending with delicate petit threes, inspired by French petit fours, which are small bite-sized sweets served at the end of a meal for a light and varied finish instead of one heavy dessert. The evening began with a Coorg Pepper Madeleine paired with smoked tomato chutney and anchovy. It was a striking first bite—soft, slightly sweet, and layered with a warm, peppery kick that set the tone for what was to come. Next came the signature Find Hokkaido Bun, served warm with cashew miso and chive butter. Pillowy soft and indulgent, it was the kind of dish that leans fully into comfort—rich, buttery, and quietly addictive.

For the cold course, a Kairi (raw mango) Carpaccio with Burrata, tamarind dressing, and peanuts offered a refreshing contrast. Tangy, creamy, and texturally balanced, it reimagined carpaccio with a distinctly local lens. Paired with an in-house gin cocktail, it felt like a perfectly calibrated moment—though the details of the drink remain (intentionally) under wraps.

The hot plate followed: a crisp hash brown topped with wild mushroom pâté, strawberry and thyme jam. Served on a white marble plate, the dish was as visually striking as it was flavourful. The mushroom pâté, inspired by a classic chicken liver version, was rich and earthy, offset beautifully by the sweetness of the jam. It disappeared in just a few bites. For the main, an Indrayani Rice Congee with braised sticky pork belly, timur pepper oil, and celery salt delivered a deeply comforting experience. Each spoonful was warm, layered, and full of depth—balancing richness with subtle spice and aroma.

Dessert arrived in the form of Brûléed Figs with mascarpone gelato, balsamic caramel, and brown butter crumb. It was exactly as indulgent as it sounds—sweet, slightly tangy, and perfectly textured, making a strong case for seconds. The meal ended with petit threes: a pina colada jelly, mini chocolate bombolini, and orange cake. Each bite was distinct yet cohesive. For the best experience, start with the bombolini, move to the bright, refreshing jelly, and finish with the light, citrusy cake.

More Than a Meal

Beyond its dining programme, The Find Atelier is envisioned as a cultural space. The Sable sisters see it as a platform for pop-ups, creative collaborations, and community-led experiences—bringing together emerging brands, makers, and voices across food, design, and lifestyle.

With operations limited to Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, the format creates a natural sense of occasion. It encourages diners to slow down, engage, and immerse themselves fully—not just in the food, but in the atmosphere and the conversations it fosters. In a city like Mumbai, where dining often leans toward scale and speed, The Find Atelier offers something quieter, more intentional, and far more memorable.
