LOOK & FEEL
The decor of the sprawling 120-cover restaurant on the ground floor is kept mellow with neutral shades, vignettes of Calcutta skyline on the wall, and comfortable seating. "The decor is done by Rashmin Perla from Bangalore of Artisinal Studios. Our brief was simple, we wanted a place with pleasing colours to chill them down. We wanted to pay tribute by capturing the essence of Bengal," explained Ramani.

“I am someone who loves road trips across the country and we always felt that there weren’t enough decent eateries on the highway that one could take a break at for a meal. Hence we wanted to offer a good option on the highway where the food across three different cuisines are top-notch, with quick service time as people are in a hurry, with classy ambience for every guest and great value for money,” said S. Ramani, who recently drove down 5,200km from Calcutta-Madras-Mumbai-Calcutta.
