Welcome to Donmai. A modern Japanese izakaya where food meets craft, and tradition finds its modern spirit. Each dish, each drink, each detail is made with intention. slow, honest, layered.
Donmai - it simply means don’t worry.
Our menu draws from regional Japanese cuisines, lesser-known traditions, and everyday comfort dishes, reimagined through a modern lens. Each dish and drink, like each artwork in the space, reflects a journey from raw to refined.

Located in the heart of the city, Donmai shifts with the day — calm and contemplative by daylight, vibrant and alive by night.
An izakaya in spirit, an art studio at heart, the space brings together textiles, installations, and handcrafted details alongside thoughtfully prepared food and cocktails.
In Japanese, Donmai means “don’t worry” — a quiet philosophy reflected in the artworks around you. Handcrafted by founder and artist Ish Patil using recycled and scrap textiles, each piece honors imperfection, renewal, and process.
Like our menu, every layer tells a story of mindful creation and evolution. Settle into the moment. Breathe easy.
You’re exactly where you need to be.
