Interiors That Make You Want To Stay Longer

And if you thought books were the only reason to visit, there is more. The Library also brings an all-day dining experience, with its food philosophy co-created by the NMACC team and restaurateur Aditi Dugar.
The menu features everything from freshly baked breads, viennoiserie and leisurely brunch options to small plates, handcrafted chocolates and matcha. Visitors can also enjoy signature coffee blends and craft cocktails, making it a space where you can comfortably spend a few hours.
So, whether you want to pick up your next favourite read, catch an interesting literary conversation or simply enjoy coffee in a beautifully designed setting, The Library has plenty to offer!
