Indian author Shobha De recently appeared on Barkha Dutt’s podcast Inside Out in October 2025 and made startling revelations about Mumbai’s dining scene being abuzz at Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty’s luxury restaurant, Bastian At The Top.
In the podcast, Shobha stated how the Dadar-based rooftop eatery, spanning a whopping 21,000 square feet with stunning 360-degree city views, brings in an astonishing Rs 2-3 crore every night.
The restaurant caters to a high-profile clientele of up to 1400 guests and has become a symbol of Mumbai’s evolving nightlife, blending experience with gastronomy.
Many such claims by Shobha have now gone viral on social media platforms and suggest that tables often spend lakhs of rupees for a one-time dining experience at the place.
Food dishes are reportedly priced starting at Rs 5000, while cocktails start at Rs 1000 and above.
Shilpa has partnered with restaurateur Ranjit Bindra since 2019 and holds a 50% stake in this venture, which has expanded its locations to Goa, while plans for a Juhu Beach Club are in the making.
The facts and figures around the restaurant have sparked a widespread debate on social media platforms as many questioned its feasibility, noting that the pricing gap between celebrity and common diners is unbelievably disproportionate.
The tale of this restaurant has widely fascinated social media users, as it reflects the city’s fascination with celebrity-driven ventures and the exaggerated lives of Mumbai’s elite.
