Restaurant owner and chef Lucky Singh has set his sights on creating a hub to draw people into Gulf Harbour, by the canal, for delicious food and live music.
His new bar and bistro, Mainsail, is located by the water and has a big outdoor area as well as a fully refurbished interior and large bar.
Lucky has been running his Indian restaurant, Bombay to Goa, in Gulf Harbour since 2019, establishing a strong following there.
The same Indian menu will be on offer at Mainsail, alongside Kiwi favourites such as pizza, steak, fish and chips, roasts and lamb shanks.
Originally from the north of India, Lucky has lived in NZ, and been a chef, for 22 years. He says the rich, complex flavours of northern Indian cuisine are created with careful use of spices, not necessarily hot chilli.
Initially Lucky will do the cooking at Mainsail, until he can find a chef with the right skills and experience to take over. Two of his four children are also helping in the restaurant.
He says even after all his years in hospitality, it still makes him happy when customers enjoy their food and have a good night at his restaurant.
Adding live music to the mix on weekends will create an atmosphere right in the centre of Gulf Harbour, he says.
“I want to thank the community which has supported me at Bombay to Goa, and welcome them to my new place,” Lucky says.
