The Good Stuff
Kheema pav
Kheema pav is repeatedly highlighted, including a version described as mouth-watering and authentically Mumbai-style.
All-day deals
Several reviews mention happy-hour or drinks deals running throughout the day, making the bar a comparatively budget-friendly night out.
DJ nights
DJ-led evenings are a major part of the experience, with reviews mentioning Afro, Desi and Hip-Hop sets as well as lively weekend energy.
Indo-Asian food
The menu spans Mumbai-style comfort food and Indo-Chinese dishes; one reviewer especially praised the Schezwan noodles, spring rolls and chicken lollipops.
Friendly service
Many diners describe the staff as attentive and welcoming, with one review specifically noting prompt service and courteous staff.
Reasonable pricing
Reviews consistently describe the food and drinks as reasonably priced, including for casual group outings.
Tips for a Better Visit
Time the nightlife. For a club-style evening rather than a lounge visit, arrive after midnight; one reviewer says the lounge changes format then.
Try kheema pav. Start with the kheema pav, or add momos and burji pav if you want to sample the street-food side of the menu.
Expect a DJ. Check the evening’s music plans if conversation matters to you: reviews describe DJ nights as lively, though music quality opinions vary.
Ask about seafood. If fresh catch matters, ask before ordering seafood; one reviewer said the seafood used was frozen despite enjoying the cooking.
Check event capacity. For special drunches or busy events, check how crowded the venue is likely to be first, since one Easter visit felt over-cramped.

The Bottom Line
59 Street Kitchen & Bar is a modern Indo-Asian bar in Al Barsha with a clear Mumbai influence. You can come for comfort food such as kheema pav, burji pav and chicken lollipops, or make an evening of it with cocktails, drinks deals and DJ-led nightlife. The Bandra-style nostalgia is a big part of the appeal, especially for diners looking for a lively Bombay-bar atmosphere rather than a quiet restaurant.
Food is where the reviews are most consistently enthusiastic. Kheema pav, wasabi prawns, burnt garlic fried rice, paneer butter masala and Indo-Chinese dishes all receive specific praise. The all-day happy-hour offers are repeatedly described as affordable, and several reviewers found the staff warm, prompt and attentive.
After midnight, one reviewer says the lounge changes into a club, so the late-night mood can be quite different from an earlier dinner. There are a few reasons to manage expectations. Portions were called small by some diners, and one group waited for plates and cutlery.
Cocktails are mixed: whiskey sours and cosmopolitans impressed some guests, while others disliked the signature Kokum Cooler and other drinks. Seafood may be frozen rather than fresh, and special events can feel cramped. If freshness, generous portions or polished cocktails are priorities, ask questions before ordering.
