All set to wow guests, two new floating restaurants open their doors this week in Mumbai. Offering the largest dining room on the sea, Queensline Neverland and Queensline Sea YAH invites patrons to enjoy a dining experience in the middle of the Arabian Ocean with views of Mumbai's iconic skyline.

Brainchild of Delhi based entrepreneurs and husband-wife duo Shripriya Dalmia Thirani and Mridul Thirani, the floating restaurants are on board two large ships - Queensline Neverland and Queensline Sea YAH that will be parked a few miles into the sea off Mumbai’s iconic Gateway of India. Each floating restaurant complete with dining and bar area, banquet halls and open decks will be able to accommodate 450 diners at any given point of time.

Inaugurated by Union minister Nitin Gadkari, the restaurants will serve global favorites across food and beverage menu and some of the best flavors from across the world. Guests can enjoy glorious sunset views as the ships cruise across Mumbai’s shoreline.
