Gharana’s theme is ‘Regal Heritage’. The richness in the hues of the wall and the upholstery contrast with the oak furniture originating in Jaipur – stained in gold leaf and natural – set off by a traditional Chandi Jhula (Silver swing) welcoming the guests into the Ghar (home).
Seating can be in seclusion behind the Royal arch or on rectangle tables. Two glass topped tables are strategically placed under a dome, affectionately called the Maharajah and Maharani tables with their unique seats. The regal heritage theme is also part of the bespoke crockery and the specially designed uniforms donned by highly trained staff.
Music plays a big part in the Gharana experience. With Ghazals, Bhuli Beesri Yadein, Modern Bollywood or Classical tunes. Gharana guarantees to get your fingers clicking, feet tapping or heads nodding to the rhythms produced by the resident quartet. It has been known for the seniors to take their loved one to the dance floor, and the young to ‘Wah Wah’ to a request long before their time!
