After 7 years, it was time to give this party a nip tuck. So, the venue's facade and the bar were rebuilt! Now, you can enjoy a more loungy feel and the added space created by these structural improvements. The sound system was also overhauled recently to create more base and heightened energy on the dance floor. Finally, the music concept has evolved to reflect the music young people want to hear today which means more House, Hip-Hop, & Club trax and of course, your favorite Bollywood! So, what are you waiting for? Get over to the new MagMahal!
