Wooden chairs and tables with wrought iron work set inside cosy spaces which afford privacy, tiled floors and designs on the walls and stone pillars paved with bricks – gives this food place a new look. ‘We were very particular about the designs. Some of the tiles had to be brought from places like Jaipur and we used skilled craftsman to do the wood work’, says Shaktivel.
