A special mention, alongside the lavish and quirky painting and a hanging chandelier in the centre, is the lighting system. As the evening progresses the lights keep dimming to fit the mood. At 5pm, the place is well-lit with its orange lamps and tiny bulb ceiling lights, and by 11pm the lights from the ceiling bulbs are the only source of light, keeping it in a dim mood.

The cocktail offerings are as thoughtfully designed as the food, with each drink inspired by cultural and local stories. The Masked Dance cocktail draws its name and spirit from the vibrant Chhau dance of West Bengal, blending white rum, sparkling wine, and vermouth with port syrup, peach, lemon shrub, and tropical bitters. This concoction reflects the dynamism and energy of the dance, capturing its dramatic essence in every sip. Meanwhile, the Potter’s Tradition cocktail pays homage to the timeless art of Panchmura pottery, symbolising simplicity and tradition. Combining white rum, mishti doi, sweet lime, fresh orange, and delicate egg-white foam, it captures the earthy charm and elegance of handcrafted terracotta.
