Anchor for a bite or even more at a plush nautical themed restaurant in the Varuna Mess.

The whole idea was to build an Indian maritime theme for naval families who do not get to see the ships interior despite their association with Indian Navy. Hence, we fabricated an entire experience of being on a ship that began with conceptualising the existing arch shaped structure like an anchor into a restaurant cum bar. The thoughtful rusted metal interior, exquisite masthead lanterns, extensive and ancient maritime picture collection, and the façade of round portholes in place of standard windows instantly transport the diner to the ocean. To create a balance of both night and day, sailing an anchoring - we bedecked the bar side like a dreamy night sky and drew inspiration from the hull of a ship for the bar counter. In addition, the dining side exhibits an ambiance of an anchored ship. Customised lights amp up the theme, a panoramic layer of nautical ancient map covers the ceiling and stand-alone tables are inspired by barrels stand-in for the real thing.

The naval experience concludes with a “Prolonged Blast”. If a customer is happy with the journey, they press the siren as a signal of satisfaction.
