Wide tables surrounded by banquettes, wispy and abundant textiles, cushions galore and ornate serving trays and light fixtures conjure up Mumbai on sweltering Sao Paulo nights, with chill lounge music cooling hormones of casual-chic crowd that seems to travel in Bollywood-movie packs. Large indoor atrium filled with plants and painted in mustard yellow add color to setting and are central to art and culture events—films, frequently thrown by owner. Side art gallery hosts mini-exhibits, with La Suite in back, where those feeling truly decadent can eat on beds. Menu travels outside of India to Italy and France, but still keeping the exotic flavor of the Orient, with dishes like saffron risotto and lamb ribs with pistachio sauce.
