The love for restaurants is to spend a lot of time with our favorite family and friends. One of the strongest points we wanted to pay attention to was the comfort, the special look, and the feeling. The entire space is divided into two areas – the hyperactive kitchen area and the lively dining area. The kitchen is a private space to prepare delicious food. The restaurant, we achieved a seating layout of a total of 100 capacity without compromising on the essential space requirements. With proper space utilization, a relaxed seating arrangement is achieved. The furnishings too, use the same neutral-toned leather fabrics adding the entire theme of the restaurant.
Our culture enjoys good food with good company while eating and drinking, it is also worth asking that we also eat fast food slowly. Considering this we have given space to those who prefer intimate corners, for the more reserved, we created a completely separate space for 16 people and affectionately called it “antisocial”. This private dining area is at the far end of the space. Bronze finish Round Mirror in different sizes inside the wall as an art piece, wooden geometry divide screen on both sides end with yellow color, and clear glass door placed to reflect and enlarge the space from inside.
