In the heart of Lakshmi Mills, Mumbai, nestles the city’s latest addition to fine dining. Designed by virtuoso architect, Ashiesh Shah of AA Homes, Masque is a restaurant that redefines indulgence and adventure.

If you’re looking for a fine dining experience that transcends beyond what you’ve experienced till date with regards to food and ambience, then Masque will offer you ‘Botanical Bistronomy’. It is all about a setting that is borne out of the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi; the restaurant’s interiors simply reflect a way of life that is accepting of the ephemeral nature of life, while simultaneously understanding its imperfections. This philosophy plays a fundamental role in the interiors, structural and design elements of Masque.

“I wanted to create a space that was transformative and full of dramatic architectural details,” says Ashiesh Shah. The name ‘Masque’ is an allegory, and is representative of a performance. And it is in the subtle, minimalist details of the restaurant that you will find this allegory brought to full life.
