Keralam’s favourite bar snacks reinterpreted in refreshing ways at Repeat, Kochi’s newest restobar

Kochi's newest restobar, Repeat, has taken Keralam's favorite bar snacks and reimagined them in innovative ways. Founded by Antony Jose of Tony's Kitchen, the Spanish-inspired beef taco is the star attraction, with its tiny chunks of beef wrapped in a taco and dunked in a flavorful gravy. The cozy lounge bar, seating 75, offers a warm and familiar atmosphere for patrons to enjoy their drinks and food.

Nitin Simon, owner of the chain of cafes Coz, and partner Shouri Akkineni of Yaegar Hospitality collaborated to create Repeat, which aims to be a watering hole that grows on people. The menu features house-made kappa crisps, Antony's take on the egg bajji, and a variety of cocktails, including a gin, gooseberry, and lime drink, as well as zero-proof and low ABV options.

The food menu includes shared plates, such as chicken karage and crackling pork belly, alongside comforting dishes like mac & cheese and steak. Repeat opens to the public on October 4, with plans for the space to evolve into a versatile venue for artists and entertainment.
