Step inside Mona Singh's cool new Mumbai restaurant with bold red and green decor that has a vintage yet modern vibe
Actor Mona Singh's very first restaurant, Kona Kona, is an all-day bar that's a love letter to regional Indian flavours. Located in Mumbai's Andheri West, the restaurant-cum-bar not just offers Indian food with a fusion twist, but is filled with design inspiration thanks to its striking colours and interiors. Also read | Step inside Yuvraj Singh's 1st ever restaurant: It is grand, charming and right in the heart of Gurugram Shades of jade and emerald green as well as scarlet and crimson red take centre stage, seamlessly blending relaxation with style at Mona's new joint. The inviting yet moody ambience blends bold colours and eclectic charm. As you step inside, the rich green walls envelop the space, their deep emerald hue casting a serene glow. The soft lighting creates an intimate vibe that feels both sophisticated and lived-in. A post shared by Kona Kona (@konakona_mumbai) A striking cluster of red pendant lamps dangles from the ceiling. The lamps vary in size and shape and are arranged in an artful tangle that draw the eye upward and help accentuate the room's moody undertones. The seating – plush red sofas and matching upholstered chairs – add to the space's vintage glamour. While the red furniture and lighting contrast vividly with the green walls, vintage car paintings in nostalgic hues adorn the walls, adding a playful nod to a bygone era and infusing the space with more charm and character. A post shared by Kona Kona (@konakona_mumbai) At the heart of Kona Kona is the bar, which commands attention with its glossy green tiles that shimmer under the yellow lights. Behind it, a striking red wall serves as a fiery backdrop, and an artful installation of glassware — wine glasses, tumblers, and flutes — hangs upside-down from a custom rack. The bar itself is stocked with colourful bottles. Perfectly describing the space, the caption of a May 9 Instagram post by Kona Kona, showcasing the interiors, read, 'You know that feeling when you walk into a place and it just feels right? That's what we wanted to build with Kona Kona. Nothing too shiny, nothing too serious—just a space that feels lived-in, easy, and full of heart. The kind of place where you can sink into a corner, lose track of time, and feel like you've been coming here for years (even if it's your first visit). Every bit of this space was built by us—with love, instinct, and a little help from our moods.'

Mona Singh Launches New Restaurant Bar 'Kona Kona' In Mumbai
Actor Mona Singh is the latest celebrity to enter the food and hospitality space with the launch of her own restaurant. Mona, known for her roles in hit TV shows like ' Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin ' and films like ' 3 Idiots', has unveiled her new restaurant bar 'Kona Kona' in Mumbai. Located in Andheri West, Kona Kona is an all-day bar and restaurant built around the themes of travel, nostalgia, comfort, and relaxed vibes. "Kona Kona isn't about being fancy - it's about feeling at home. As a first-time restaurateur, I wanted to create a space where people come for a drink and stay for the stories, laughter, and comfort," said Mona Singh. She added, "It's a simple, heartfelt place that doesn't try too hard - just welcomes you as you are." Mona's vision was to build a space that feels lived-in - a place where guests are always welcome, never rushed, and always comfortable. Dramatic Interiors With Pet-Friendly Spaces The space spans 2,000 square feet with seating for around 100 people, including both indoor and outdoor areas. Guests can enjoy their meals and drinks in cosy corners lit by dramatic dim lighting. The outdoor section is pet-friendly and features a dedicated menu for pets. Nostalgic Food Menu With Dishes From Different Parts Of India The menu has been curated by Chef Jasleen Marwah and Chef Neetu Solanki. The neighbourhood bar features familiar favourites with a twist-like crispy TP Nimki, a beloved tea-time snack now reimagined for the bar; Darjeeling Jhol Jhal, which includes classic steamed momos served with a spicy jhol; and Siddhu from Himachal, a soft, steamed bread that sits somewhere between a pav and a dumpling. Speaking about the menu, Chef Jasleen Marwah and Chef Neetu Solanki said, "Every dish at Kona Kona is rooted in the feeling of childhood meals, street-side finds, and family kitchens. We didn't want to reinvent the wheel, just add a personal touch. Our food is instinctive, nostalgic, and designed to spark conversations-starting with a bite and ending with a story." Mona Singh hopes to create a space where people laugh together, enjoy food and drinks, and keep coming back for more.
