Make arrival part of the meal. A candlelit courtyard in a heritage haveli, where the walk from entry to table matters as much as the table.
The restaurant was resolved as one sequence: arrival, archway, then table. Carved stone, bamboo, and warm lantern light run throughout.
Spatial planning came first, from entry to seat, before any furniture was chosen. The result is contemporary in service and grounded in the architecture of the haveli.
