The name ‘Baraf’ has been carefully chosen to add a desi flavour that would appeal more to today’s patrons. Do not miss out the ‘bar’... and to it add ‘af’—which stands for ‘as fun’…so it is a Bar turning it into a fun place. Baraf is committed to reviving the Bangla Band music through live performances. It also allows its guests to indulge in Bengali folk music performances, an opportunity which probably no other bar lounge has offered earlier.
The highlight of the place are the live performances, specially curated craft cocktails, wide array of delicious multi-cuisine food and the tropical themed interiors with faux greenery livening up further. The combination of sand-toned wooden floors and icy blue sidewalls add to the vibrancy. The bar counter is luring with its Moroccan mosaic front wall and of course, with its stock!
