The Classroom

What is it?

Paying an ode to the most magnificent days of our lives, The Classroom is here to make you relive your favourite childhood moments from school. P.S – this is one classroom you would not want to bunk! Spread over three floors and a terrace – this restaurant occupies 12,000 square feet area. The Classroom has very carefully handpicked elements that will make you nostalgic as soon as you step in. The entry has a huge notice board, the walls are dark olive green, table and benches are kept in a symmetrical order, school bags are hung on the walls. Additionally, the bathroom walls are scribbled all over with random musings. Also, the crockery in which food is served is very canteen-like.

What’s in it?

The Classroom promises the ultimate throwback. From blackboards to dressing up their staff in school uniforms – they have got everything covered. They have paid great attention to detail when it comes to the décor of the restaurant. Elements like typical school desks and chairs, menu booklet resembling pages from your school notebook, carom board, Foosball, billiard, and ‘Flames’ written on the wall will swell your heart with joy. Now, apart from the decor, you will also be mesmerised by the food curated by Chef Kulbeer Singh.
