“To uplift the overall experience, we used traditional timbers and paneling influenced by the colonial era, harmonized with the flavors of the Indian culture, through bold colors and patterns,” says H2R Design cofounders Hasan and Husain Roomi. “We’ve also taken into consideration the exotic opulence found in Indian interiors, such as layers of texture to provide a captivating atmosphere across both of the restaurants.”
Both restaurants feature similar color and material palettes. A backdrop of blue and green hues infuse an earthiness across the interior, while red silk drapery and mustard and emerald upholstered furnishings stimulate the appetite. Wood and steel elements abound alongside paisley patterns and vintage objects, like phonographs and rotary phones. Handcarved wood panels inject warmth and lush focal points further convey traditional and vibrant Indian inspirations.
