Rocking Rickshaw, a Bollywood Rock Cafe, is a vibrant space that wonderfully captures the vitality of Core India, which is successfully running in Singapore. Mr Anil Goswami, the Founder of Rocking Rickshaw, a hospitality behemoth, also runs the 2nd largest chain of bars in Singapore, Al Capone's, with 13 outlets in Singapore. With its first outlet, Rocking Rickshaw is all set to open its second outlet in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at the 5-star Property Hotel Park Royal Collection in April 2024 with 4500 sq ft of space. The place will serve Indian delicacies and have a boutique Arabic menu as well. The place will invite artistic bands from India to play live Bollywood music to give its customers the real essence of Indian Cinema. The brand plans to expand its horizon in Bali, Bangkok, and Jakarta.
Mr. Anil, the Founder of Rocking Rickshaw, stated that "he believes in creating unique customer experiences." There are no other establishments like this; it seamlessly combines the charm of Bollywood with a fine selection of drinks, making it a haven for those seeking both entertainment and relaxation. "He further added that the journey started modestly, with a small outlet that caught the attention of Kallang Wave Mall, paving the way for expansion. The marketing approach was unconventional yet effective, employing guerrilla tactics to attract customers. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Rocking Rickshaw's resilience and commitment to its loyal customers have allowed the brand to bounce back stronger than ever".
The place serves traditional & contemporary Indian & Italian fusion cuisine, curated by a team of expert nutritionists and cooked by renowned Chefs. The strategic placement of iconic posters adds a touch of nostalgia, especially for the ladies who find themselves adoring their favourite heroes while sipping on glasses of whiskey. The best thing about Rocking Rickshaw is that it comes with a cigarette licence with ample ventilation for the visitors to feel congenial in the environment they choose to dine in. The majority of restaurants do not promote smoking on their premises, and smoking restrictions are becoming extremely prevalent; in these times, the restaurant welcomes smokers as well as non-smokers with open arms to make them feel at home in their creative establishment, further understanding that smoking would no just be a habit but a lifestyle choice for many people.
The mixologists and bartenders at the restaurant not only create an incredible variety of cocktails and mocktails, but they also have an impact on how customers drink and promote a healthy drinking culture. The brand's continued growth and thriving are evidence of the Founder's unwavering commitment and the timeless appeal of a concept honouring whiskey, Bollywood, and hospitality. Rocking Rickshaw is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience that embraces the modernity of today's lifestyle options while taking guests back to a bygone era. More than just a dining establishment, Rocking Rickshaw is a legacy in the making process.
