Entrance Door to ‘the Sitar Akasa Kade Asian Fusion’ restaurant. This was designed even to fit a palace of a Maharaja. Beveled glass squares were used as the door has to be transparent for incoming and outgoing guests. Brass hinges and expensive wood such as Teak and Ebony were used to add value to the door. The Ebony handles were marvelously fixed to the door so much so the method of fixing would be hard to figure-out

The reception counter and the Cashier counter were designed to match. Mahogany wood was used to give the required color. The molded brass sun in the center was specially designed to go with the theme ‘Akasa Kade’ which means a ‘Boutique in the Sky’.

The royal designed dining chair evolved from the ‘dome design’ of the world-renowned Taj Mahal. The specially cast screw type brass k***s and the gold dotted terra cotta colored Indian fabric adds royalty to the Mahogany framed dining chair. The Cats eye and the Shiva gold granites make the Dominos floor which takes us back to the Maharaja era. A simple divan for the oriental musicians was placed at the entrance.

The partition in the hand wash area was made using Mahogany wood. This partition was designed without doors which minimizes maintenance and unwanted noise. The specialty of this partition is that rich sheer material was used instead of the common sand blast sticker for less visibility. The buffet counter in the show cooking area on the right corner is made using Mahogany wood with granite top.

The elegant stairway which stands almost in the center of the restaurant is one of the main attractions. Kumbuk wood is used for the steps while brass rods are embedded making the steps glitter and glamorous. The railing is uniquely designed to blend with the theme and hand-made using brass rods. The hand rail is made using Teak wood and connects to the beautiful balustrade. Under the balustrade is a band of Indian sculpture.

Walking into the void area one is taken unawares of the stunning Brass Lantern which projects a Star impression on the night blue ceiling creating a sky effect which contributes to the meaning ‘Akasa Kade’ which means a ‘Boutique in the Sky’. The dome design of the icon Taj Mahal influenced when creating the theme and is visible in the lantern as well as on the uprights of the balustrade and on the back of the dining chair.

A fine dining area on the 14th level is arranged for guests who prefer to have their meals in the bar. Teak wood is used for the colonial style dining chairs and tables. The specially designed Indian sofas add elegance and comfort to the bar while promoting guests to stay longer. Specially imported Indian fabric is used for upholstery. The center tables are made using Teak wood and covered with light yellow gold runners.

The Bar is made using Teak and Mahogany wood while the counter top is jet black granite. The brass lotus flowers are embedded in the center of the squares to blend with the interior.
