Celebrity interior designer Gauri Khan has ventured into hospitality with Torii, a cutting-edge Asian restaurant concept. Designed to offer an immersive experience, Torii blends global Asian flavours with a dynamic bar menu.
Collaborating with restaurateur Abhayraj Kohli and entrepreneur Tanaaz Bhatia, Gauri aims to redefine culinary luxury.
Torii, meaning ‘traditional Japanese gate,’ symbolises the entrance to a culinary sanctuary. Reflecting a modern approach to Asian cuisine, the restaurant promises a sophisticated and glamorous ambience.
Gauri envisions Torii as a top-tier global dining destination, marrying exceptional cuisine, drinks, and design, as a sexy, upscale establishment, and aims to set new standards in the industry and cater to well-travelled diners seeking premium experiences.
Gauri’s design prowess at Torii seamlessly harmonises indoor and outdoor spaces, enriching the dining ambience. A sophisticated colour palette of gold, black, and white with hints of red and green infuses glamour and warmth.
Striking elements like a grand green door, chic bar with brass accents, alfresco area with luscious greenery, and bespoke artwork create a luxurious yet inviting atmosphere.
The jewel-box interiors feature intricate details such as houndstooth banquettes, mirrored ceilings, and a dazzling sushi counter, showcasing Gauri’s dedication to immersive dining experiences.
Tarot cards add a playful touch, enhancing the overall allure of this culinary gem.
