Tall, exquisitely constructed fin-like wooden panels and cosy private seating areas greeted us as we stepped into Craft Deli. Bistro.Bar. Come Sunday and this newest entrant in Kurla’s bustling Phoenix Marketcity will open its doors to patrons. Owned by Bellona Hospitality (the group behind 212 All-Day Café & Bar and Sichuan House, also in the mall), the spacious 120-seater includes an al fresco section, lit up by myriad bulbs that presented a cheery vibe. We made ourselves comfortable indoors and poured over the lengthy menu — divided into deli, bistro and bar section — comprising modern European cuisine helmed by chef Paul Kinny.
