Pahli Hill x LOBOMAR “Final Orders Please”: where fashion meets food
Michelin recommended Indian restaurant Pahli Hill is excited to announce a very fashionable collaboration with forward thinking fashion brand, LOBOMAR. Having recently launched their new collection ‘Final Orders Please’ at a runway show in Amsterdam, LOBOMAR are now exclusively showcasing the collection at Pahli Hill on Mortimer Street, London, for a limited time only.
Available between 23rd – 30th of October, the collection will be on display at Bandra Bhai – Pahli Hill’s bar which is located underneath the restaurant. Inspired by a 1970’s Bombay speakeasy, Bandra Bhai is centered on reveling in forbidden enjoyment and is a place to truly express yourself – a very befitting location for an eclectic fashion label such as LOBOMAR.
LOBOMAR was established in 2023 by siblings Marco and Marcella Lobo and is born out of their upbringing between Köln, London, and Amsterdam. With Indian-Italian roots, they grew up in a blend of cultures, questioning traditional notions of identity and authenticity. LOBOMAR challenges rigid categories and celebrates the power of personal choice and context in shaping one’s identity. The Final Orders Please collection is made out of handwoven organic cotton made by artisans in Tamil Nadu and makes use of preloved Saris sourced from Marcello and Marco’s aunt’s community in Mumbai.
During the eight day showcase, guests will be welcome to come and browse the collection, and receive direct styling tips from LOBOMAR co- founder , Marcella Lobo. To celebrate the collaboration, Chef-Patron, Avi Shashidhara has created an exclusive ‘Final Orders, Please’ dessert of Brioche filled with Alphonso Mango Vodka Kulfi and Pistachio. The Brioche includes Amalfi Lemon in the dough, and Avi used the Alphonso Mango-flavoured Desi Daru Vodka for the base of the Kulfi. A nod to LOBOMAR’s Sicilian roots, and Avi’s roots in Italian cuisine having worked at the Michelin-starred River Cafe for over a decade and travelled throughout the country extensively it is a symphony of powerful flavors. This liberating dish brings to life the essence of ‘Final Orders Please’ and will be available on the Pahli Hill menu for the duration of the collaboration.
Avi Shashidhara comments: “When crafting this dish, I aimed to translate the essence of Lobomar’s vision into a culinary experience, making it a reflection of the emotion and storytelling of their collection. Just like a designer creates a story, I too have strived to create a dish that tells a story of its own. The dish speaks to those shared experiences that linger long after the meal is over.”
A launch dinner on October 22nd will debut the Final Orders Please dessert, amongst a tasting menu created by Avi to reflect the entire collection. During the collaboration there will also be a social with drinks and music creating the opportunity for like minded creatives to come together and view the collection and of course try the dish too.
Marcella Lobo, Creative Director and co-founder of LOBOMAR, comments: “For us, the experience at Pahli Hill will be love letters to those small, meaningful moments we rarely appreciate until they’re gone. We want to transport the audience into that fleeting space between night and morning, where the conversations and laughter feel intimate, almost eternal. When we gather with friends, it’s not just to eat, but to reflect, to connect, to be our true selves. It’s an exploration of identity and how food, fashion, and human connection come together in these spontaneous encounters. The looks in the show and being showcased at Pahli Hill represent a slice of these moments—beautifully unplanned, yet filled with meaning.”
An opportunity to bring together fashion, flavor and expression LOBOMAR x Pahli Hill promises to be a unique and memorable experience which will look as good as it tastes.
