Ishaara, No words just signs. That's the only way of placing your order at Ishaara " Idhar ishaaro mea he Baat Hoti Hain ". A unique dining experience in Mumbai.
The service staff has speech and hearing impairment here but they are far superior when it comes to doing their job right. Patrons are welcomed at the door by a dost who explains how the restaurant works.
With beautiful interiors and efficient service, this is hands down gonna become the crowd favourite. Their menu is panned across various cuisines. Pick anything off the menu and you are sure in for a delight. The drinks menu here needs special mention as it's very thoughtfully planned and successfully executed.
Design-wise, Ishaara is an abstract take on plush tropical trees illuminated the restaurant, coupled with the minimal intervention of metal and concrete on the bar and counters. The furniture is made up of teak wood and natural veneers. At first, all I noticed were the interiors that bring the outdoors inside with plants dotting every corner, there is plenty of natural light coming in which makes your meal journey pleasant.
The menu is illustrated with simple instructions to be able to seamlessly communicate an order to the server through sign language. Every server also has a sign name printed on the back of their t-shirt, they encourage the diners to communicate with them and also with each other. A few hesitant flicks of my fingers and our order was placed, the process is not at all cumbersome as I had imagined. Before entering Ishaara I had my self-doubts on what would I place an order and ask for suggestions, but Ishaara was all I needed to do to get my boat sail easily.
