Party vibes: Enjoy the good times at Soul-The Sky Lounge

Hailing from the well-known jewellery brands, Benud Behari Dutt Jewellers, Dutt sharpened his business skills by joining the family business when he was 16.

But it was the hospitality business, especially food and beverage, which tugged at his heartstrings.

In 2016, Dutt started off with a 1,000 square feet café, called Soul Café, on Syed Amir Ali Avenue.

He aimed to catch the attention of the young crowd.

The cafe organised activities like Zumba classes and also included a billiards room.

In 2019, in his quest to find a bigger place, he chanced upon a heritage building on Little Russel Street.

The rooftop with a panoramic view of the city’s skyline became ‘Soul – The Sky Lounge’ with a bar, an eclectic food menu and a live tandoor, among other things.

Here is a glimpse of what you may expect.
