The Boston Butt brings the Dixie charm of the American south to Kala Ghoda in Mumbai with its lumber-heavy interiors and farm-and-hunting themed accents.
Located in the historic Kala Ghoda district of south Mumbai, The Boston Butt is an all-American barbeque diner with a southern soul. For the décor, chef and restaurateur Siddharth Kashyap, along with his partners Karna Shinde and Nishant Rao, approached architect Reza Kabul, who created a design scheme out of a confluence of regional styles from the Dixie States.
The interior walls of the 2,930 sq. ft., two-level restaurant set the grungy, plastered texture backdrop for the space. Photographs, signage and mirror frames from the Prohibition Era accent the bare walls. The bevelled window panes are a manifestation of the late 18th century architectural style of the French Quarters in New Orleans.
Influenced by the predominant lumber industry in the southern American States, the use of wood dominates the interior elements of the space such as flooring, seating and accessories. The lower level, with its wooden dinner tables and seating, is designed to host families, while the upper level, with the bar and plaid-wrapped corner couches, hosts the livelier section.
A bright red tractor hood not only adds colour to the space but also doubles up as the DJ console. The wall-mounted papier-mâché busts of a ram, deer, and boar create a focal point at the upper level.
All in all, The Boston Butt, the city’s first smokery and charcuterie, aims at delivering the finest food and ambience of the Dixie states!
