We revamped the entire space with new designs and launched a specially curated food menu to cater to the changing tastes of our patrons."
The reopening of Blanco marked a fresh chapter, with an array of new designs and an enticing fusion menu that fused Italian, Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean, and pub-style dishes. The summer mango menu, which quickly became a fan favorite, and the monsoon chai and pakoda pairings perfectly captured the seasonal essence, giving guests another reason to return to their favorite rooftop spot.

The fusion of cuisines - including popular offerings like customizable pizzas, vegetarian-friendly options, and delightful weekend brunches - continues to keep guests excited for every visit.
"We wanted to create an experience that's more than just food," Aniket adds. "Blanco has become a place where people can unwind, connect, and create memories, whether they're sipping chai on a rainy day or enjoying a weekend brunch under the sun."
