A chef getting involved in a restaurant’s cocktail programme isn’t necessarily cause for celebration but that’s not the case at progressive Mayfair Indian restaurant BiBi. With a background developing dishes for some of the very best on the UK - including Brett Graham, Simon Rogan and Mark Birchall - Chet Sharma is an ideal candidate to help bridge the gap between the kitchen and the bar with his thoughtful, analytical approach to food and drink and deep understanding of Sub Continental ingredients and flavour profiles.
Working with recently promoted assistant manager Nabil Munir, Sharma has created a tight but effective selection of new cocktails for his highly-rated restaurant that includes a Negroni made with toasted coffee, a Margarita featuring calamansi, mango and ginger, and a take on the Old Fashioned that combines Eagle Rare 10 Year Old with salted treacle.
Mirroring BiBi’s policy of finding the very best produce from both the UK and India, and working out how to get the very best out of it, the new cocktail menu is as laser focused as the food menu delivering punchy drinks with great clarity of flavour. JKS Restaurants - which is also behind restaurants including Kitchen Table, Sabor and Gymkhana - has always had a strong cocktail game but getting Sharma involved has seen BiBi achieve new heights.
