Interiors of the restaurant
The restaurant's interior includes soft, intimate design with warm colour tones to evoke an inviting sense of calm. It captures the mood of a vintage cafe where time slows down, and conversation goes on. The space features warm lighting. The orange pendant lamps suspended from the ceiling stand out, anchoring the interiors in the pleasant amber glow, like a real-life sepia filter.
The colour story is noteworthy, incredibly grounding and heart-warming. The deep green walls complement the wooden tables and chairs very well. Both green and brown are earthy colours, further strengthening the natural, harmonious energy. The vintage yet modest style was evident in the furniture choice too, from a simple wooden bench to cane-backed chairs, making the atmosphere feel familiar.
Along with the warm lighting from the lantern, there's plenty of natural light too from the open windows, while potted plants added a glimpse of lush greenery. It is an interesting juxtaposition, interior balanced by both warm and natural lighting. The walls were decorated with greyscale artwork, from the restaurant's mascot to Mumbai cityscape scenes. With green as a backdrop, the framed black and white artworks look splendid. The interiors are immersive, making you feel like you have teleported back to the 80s.
