Housed in the centre of lush greenery, this soothing dining space is among the growing tribe of Indian restaurants in the city. The space exudes a quaint vintage charm with instrumental music to liven up the space.
As the name conveys, the vintage restaurant The Village is set in a haveli in contemporary style. The ambience is of warm wood furniture, detailed carved doors and windows salvaged from old havelis in Kolkata. The ceramic multicolour plates and vessels lend a primary hue to the space. Flooring comprises warm shades from Nitco in heritage series. The wall is decorated with traditional appliqué art from the villages of southern Bengal and Orissa. The appliqué designs form a mural all over the wall. The columns are decorated with multicoloured durries nailed on the wall. This helps camouflage the huge columns in the restaurant space. Additional sleek wooden columns are added to define the seating zones. Woven jute material is used as privacy curtains between the seating niches. Multicoloured glass lantern lights hang from the ceiling along with spray paints of village motifs.
