‘Going out’ means more than simply leaving your house; its about jumping into another world –a place filled with fantasy and magic. A restaurant goer’s words quite aptly describe the experience of eating out. It is not merely the food, the taste, the variety and the décor. It’s about all of this and more. It’s a magical world and a fantastical experience which people seek out whenever they eat out. KOKO, the Contemporary Asian Gastro Pub recently opened in Mumbai’s Parel area seeks to reach you just there.
In the heart of Mumbai’s commercial centre, at Kamala Mills, Lower Parel stand a multitude of restaurants,which have indeed made it a haute spot for trying and experimenting with a wide spectrum of cuisines. In this midst a new restaurant seeks to catch an element of surprise and provide a unique “ the experience of eating out”.
Architect Sumessh Menon’s work ranges from residential to hospitality spaces.His recent projects include a home that he designed in South Africa and ongoing Dubai homes. His repertoire of restaurants includes high-end dining spaces across the country and around the world, from Mumbai, Delhi and Pune to New York. In fact, it was a visit by Ryan Tham to one of the New York restaurants designed by Menon that prompted him to get the architect on board for Koko.
He describes his expreience of working on this project as “I don’t reference anything that I have done previously for a new space. It needs to be a completely clean slate, getting back to the beginning of sorts, and creating something I have never done before ”.
He is currently in the process of designing many more restaurants across Mumbai.
