Firangi Superstar is a modern Indian restaurant inspired by our client's cultural background and travels. Firangi is a Hindi word meaning foreigner and the space was envisioned as a “foreigner’s love letter to India.” The design takes guests on a dreamlike journey, drawing on the many facets of India’s history, geography and cuisine.

The restaurant is segmented into smaller experiences; each space is a unique and dynamic chapter in the story.

Guests are greeted in the Officer’s Club, with its rich palette and colonial-era relics. The bar is ablaze with peacock imagery, and liquors are on vivid display. The Old Railway Room, a private dining space, is an imagined train ride, with rustic wall lamps and fans, overhead luggage racks and a vintage Rajasthani landscape. The main dining area is split into two zones. The Elephant Palace is inspired by the blue room in the Udaipur City Palace. Parades of elephants animate the alcoves, framed by scalloped, Rajasthani arches. The cozy Jungle Lodge reads like a wildlife den, with its trophy wall of resin antlers and framed tiger art.

The design concept sets the stage for culinary and social connections and new experiences with each visit.
