The Nom Nom restaurant in Mumbai embraces all the charms of the Orient and builds a warm, yet chic hangout space for family and friends alike. Designed by Minnie Bhatt, the eatery is flushed with the warm glow of a primarily wooden tenor lit by coy yellow lamps. This is in keeping with the “earthy” feel that the owners wished for. Props conjuring the geographical inspiration of the place are peppered throughout the space of this contemporary restaurant. The most haunting of these is the piece called ‘birds in flight’- made of copper sheets folded in an Origami like fashion, it is hung from the ceiling near the lounge area. There is a conscious ‘zen’ infusion in most of the details of the restaurant. The restaurant’s interiors are enlivened, especially in the evenings, by a charming little shadow-effect of all the accessories present – their silhouettes begin to creep delicately up the walls then. The team from Minnie Bhatt Design has churned out every important visual inspiration to create the effect of a place that is confident of its South-East Asian credentials.
