Tani Bistro & Bar: Modern Indian Dining by Zhongshan Park

Set within Zhongshan Mall and nestled amidst the lush greenery of Zhongshan Park, Tani Bistro & Bar brings a contemporary, modern take on Indian cuisine to a relaxed bistro and bar setting. The bistro sums up its philosophy simply: passion is the most important ingredient, powering a genuine approach to both food and hospitality — "Tani, flowing from our hearts… to your table."

A Modern Take on Indian Cuisine

Rather than a traditional Indian restaurant format, Tani positions itself as a bistro and bar, pairing Indian dishes with a drinks menu built for unwinding after work — cold beer, wine, or cocktails. Reviewers frequently call out the tikka trio and garlic naan as a strong combination, alongside classics like chicken biryani, aloo gobi and chicken tikka masala, with one customer specifically noting generous portions for the price.

The Experience

Customers describe Tani as a quiet, pleasant place with attentive, professional staff. One reviewer who celebrated their son's birthday there had the menu curated by the kitchen's Chef Albert, calling the food excellent and the ambience quiet and nice throughout the celebration. Another reviewer singled out the outdoor seating facing the park as a particular highlight, alongside praise for the atmosphere and efficient service, adding that "Tani chef are very well known" and that it's "worth trying out."

Beyond Dine-In

Tani offers more than sit-down dining. The bistro runs online ordering for both pickup and home delivery, with a dedicated High Tea menu also available. Regular promotions rotate through the site — recent examples include a Gupshup Combo built around hot chai and crispy samosas, an islandwide delivery promotion offering 10% off online orders, and a beer deal offering three pints plus one free for $33.
