Rue Du Liban's menu is specially curated to bring you the taste of authentic Levantine cuisine. For those who do not

know, Levantine cuisine has a strong multi-cultural influence that includes a delectable fare with traces that are century

old, all amalgamated together – from Phoenicians, Turks, Lebanese, Jews and the French.

Spread across a luxurious 3200

. of space, the plush Art-Deco inspired interiors are accentuated by royal burgundy

banquettes. Dale Atkinson, from the London-based designed firm Rosendale Design has given a royal touch to the

ambiance with decorative elements like custom lamps, brass work, hand-painted olive leaves on green walls and

bespoke glass leaves hanging from the ceiling.

Not just the interiors, the crockery at the restaurant spells royalty as well. Specially handcrafted crockery commissioned

by Pune-based Curators of Clay along with a range of glamorous brassware from Udaipur-based Baarique exhibit subtle

designs that remains exclusive to Rue Du Liban. For those who prefer an informal sitting arrangement, the bar serves to

be a perfect destination to enjoy the cocktails along with some great food.

Highlighting the journey that led to the launch of this spectacular restaurant, Arja Shridhar, Director & Co Partner of

Indianapoli Hospitality shares, “I immediately fell in love with the food from The Levant, during my trips to the Eastern

Mediterranean, Beirut in particular”.

Indianapoli's tie-up with Tasty Kitchens and one of the best chefs from the Lebanon has made the founders of Rue Du

Liban bring this joyous, colourful and tasty cuisine to Mumbai that can be savoured with fine wines and cocktails.”

Elaborating on behind the scene secret of the restaurant, Arja Shridhar hushes, “Authentic fresh ingredients and age-old

recipes with a modern interpretation is what would give life to the overall dining experience here not to forget the

ambiance that adds to the delight.”
