After opening its first outlet in the heart of Mumbai, Andheri in 2017, Yazu decided to make Lower Parel its next stop. The newly launched restaurant, spread across a sumptuous 6,000- sq ft seems to have hit all the right buttons! Reason? It's because by early evening on a weekday, the pub was packed and all the tables were full. The restaurant is helmed by Ranbir Nagpal, Gurmeet Arora, and Atul Chopra.
Fascinating custom light installation spanning the entire ceiling of the outlet, which stands as the focal point of the whole space, in-situ concrete custom design flooring with floral imprints and inlays to mirror the patterns in the ceiling above, a hand-carved wooden feature wall stands as a backdrop to a long seating space wrapped in a warm textural blend of cane and deep red leather, a stunning vertical bottle display, and larger-than-life sculptural lamps — all these elements make this restaurant totally Instagram-able. The highlight is definitely the opulence that defines the space as well as creates the perfect outdoor ambiance.
