Planet Bollywood Restaurant

This was a refurbishment of an existing well known Indian Mujra-style dancing establishment with a fixed list of Clientele. The key here was to provide the ‘same but better’ as the venue was successful yet needed bringing up to date.

A long narrow space, the first issue here was to increase the perceived width of the space hence the back wall to the stage was lined with mirrors completely. However, as this was so close to the seating area, it would mean that the patrons would be seeing their own reflections as prominently as the dancers, hence the mirrors are then overlaid with intricate woodwork ‘jallis’ (grills) in an arched ‘façade’ evoking the Moghul era from where the dance style originates.

This feeling of Moghul grandeur is continued through to the arrivals foyer and the private room where flooring is highly details marble work and the entrances are arched like those of the historical palaces in India. Fabrics used are thick velvets contrasted with white leather, textured wallpapers and Moghul-style paintings adorn the walls.
