Central to Maska’s design ethos is the bold utilization of color – a vibrant cerulean blue, reminiscent of the iconic street food carts that dot India’s bustling avenues. This statement hue serves as the backdrop against which playful elements unfold, inviting patrons into a world of sensory delight. At the flagship outlet in Ambience Mall, New Delhi, this vivid blue washes over the storefront, setting the stage for an immersive culinary adventure. Here, iconic Indian brass “barthans” (brass dishes) take center stage, repurposed as frames for neon signage that proudly spells out “Maska,” a nod to the restaurant’s cultural roots and culinary identity.
In the ever-evolving landscape of Delhi’s culinary scene, Maska stands as a beacon of creativity and innovation, a testament to the power of design to transcend mere aesthetics and evoke a sense of wonder. Thanks to the visionary approach of The Melange Studio, each Maska outlet isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an immersive journey through the vibrant tapestry of Indian cuisine and culture. So, the next time you find yourself craving a taste of nostalgia amidst the chaos of the mall, let Maska be your guide, and prepare to embark on a culinary adventure unlike any other.
