Dipped in royalty. Wrapped in pride. Holding the aroma of an era gone by. Qilaa de Vashi is Navi Mumbai’s first castle restaurant serving lavish meals that will make you feel like the kings and queens of yore.
Old school charm rooted in Indian Hospitality adages from our yesteryears, Qilaa de Vashi will remind you of our country’s warm heartedness and its fixation with ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ as you slowly fall in love with its interiors, staff and most dominant of it all – it’s commitment to good food.
There is a strange sense of nostalgic romance that engulfs you on entering this Qilaa that is spread across two floors. Exhibiting different feels of a castle, the top floor, aptly titled‘The Royal Dawat’, is lined with private booths and blue walls that bring to life age old paintings of queens in Rajasthan. Chandeliers and mirrors add a grace that you have seen only in movies, personified further with woodwork panels and beautiful Indian music.
A spiral staircase then takes you down to ‘The House of Commons’ which is designed like a royal courtroom for dining, where an arty Indian influence takes precedence over walls, tables, chairs and everything you can sink your feel into with motifs and Indian brass crockery to match.
“We have researched over 200 recipes from ‘Maharajs (indian cooks)’ from across India to bring you our choicest Indian fare at our home, our Qilaa. Understanding the palate of Vashi, we also have some global fare in store but we want to be remembered for our service, our quality and our unbeatable Indian fare. We have sourced interior elements from our travels and from history books we picked up along the way – all that we have used, promote and will continue to introduce will be Swadesi – to promote the best of India to Indians!,” feels Mohinish C, Partner, Qilaa de Vashi.
