Shamiana:
The literal translation of Shamiana means tent- and one that has been
a host to numerous product launches, wedding receptions, and chill out
zones with foot tapping music. The area can
seat a maximum of 80- 100 people and is the single largest semi
private area in the restaurant.
Jungle Bar:
The idea of scattering peanut shells in our bar was inspired by the
rich and famous in the Long Bar of the Raffles of Singapore. Their
famous patrons frivolously threw down ‘peanut shells’ as a good
humoured slightly rebellious act of appreciation which they could not
get away with at home. Our guests indulge in the same simple pleasure
which we happily encourage.
To put it all in
a nut shell, don’t think we sacked the cleaners, or are NUTS in the
JUNGLE BAR, so just throw your shells down and relax.
The Jungle Bar is
designed as a hunters perch with beautiful paintings of animals on the
wall. Decorated with hurricane lamps, rattan wall coverings, cane
furniture, palm trees and tiger skin rugs. Warm low lit candles and
soft background music gives the bar a cosy intimate feel.
The bar is also available for complete takeovers and theme parties.
Every event whether large or small, lavish or minimal, is tailored to
suit the client’s vision and budget. Our fundamental principle is
that each event must not only be unique, but legendary, discussed not
only in the following weeks, but also years to come.
