Art, Food And Heritage: Kathiwada House Opens Its Doors As A Cultural Landmark In Mumbai

Nestled in one of the most expensive landscapes of the city, Kathiwada City House has long been one of Mumbai’s famous cultural sanctuaries. The bungalow, known for its culture and art heritage, entered a new chapter as it opened its doors to the public as a cultural landmark in the city.

Kathiwada City House Opens Up To The Public

Until now, Kathiwada City House in Worli, Mumbai, was a 1940 Art Deco bungalow where membership started at ₹92,000 and was vetted through referrals and interviews. But now the place is known for its heritage art, and the cultural haven has recently entered into a new chapter by opening its doors to the public while preserving the soul of the Kathiwada legacy.

This journey began with the reopening of the bistro, Circly Sixty-Nine, which became the point of entry into the house’s huge cultural world. Kathiwada City House now functions as a layered cultural space featuring gardens, galleries and intimate rooms that flow naturally from one to another. Home to art, craft, design, literature, food and wellness, this is neither a gallery nor a museum and does not follow any rigid formats or transactional models. Instead, it allows people to invest and spend time in culture without any worry or hurry.

Owner Digvijay Singh Kathiwada describes this as a space where art, culture and culinary can intersect in perfect harmony. Over the past four years, the House introduced various cultural programmes like art exhibitions, screenings, workshops and collaborative gatherings. Not only this, but they also promoted wellness with yoga sessions and meditation circles, inviting guests to slow down and reconnect.

Inside This Reimagined Cultural Space In Mumbai

At the heart of Kathiwada City House is the central gallery, an ever-evolving space curated with rotating exhibitions along with works from the family’s collection. The best part? The gallery introduced what may be Mumbai’s first dine-in museum experience, where one can enjoy food while focusing on the art.

Next, the Sun Room offers a peaceful space filled with natural light and vintage furniture, making it an ideal place to sit, read or unwind. The next is the KCH Library, located next to the bistro, which continues to host family lunches and dinners. Two new private dining rooms offer comfortable seating to the guests, allowing them to unfold alongside art and design curated by Sangita Devi Kathiwada.
