Take a Bao!

A mesh of innovative materials and textures, Mr. Baozi is the latest entrant in the Juhu dining scene designed by Architect Sumessh Menon.

Pan-Asian delicacies and a plum location in bustling Juhu—Mr. Baozi’s new outlet doesn’t leave much else to be desired. Started by Mihir Desai, owner at Corum Hospitality, the generous 5,000 sq. ft. area has been apportioned to both inside and outside spaces. The architect of the project, Sumessh Menon, Design Director, Sumessh Menon + Associates says, “The brief from the client was for a funky, Asian inspired space with generous outdoor as well as indoor space. Right from the striking custom wooden door set within a multi arched doorway to the imposing Asian influenced artwork that scales an entire long wall and the ethereal sculptural light fittings to the handmade tile inlaid tables, the entire space is a splendid synthesis of patterns and textures that dominate the space and yet are seemingly understated. The raw appeal of these earthy materials is sharply contrasted with the bright chirpy yellow and turquoise chairs creating an element of surprise.”
