The "Charminar" restaurant, taking its name from one of Hyderabad's iconic historical landmarks, aims to offer an exquisite blend of Coventry's rich automotive history with the grandeur of Indian aesthetics. The design concept will be an amalgamation of modern sleekness with touches of classical Indian elegance, evoking a sense of nostalgia while embracing the comforts of the contemporary.
Entrance:
As guests walk in, they're greeted by a grand doorway reminiscent of the Charminar arches. Right above, an ornate chandelier, inspired by the intricate patterns of Indian jewelry, illuminates the area. Just beside the entrance, in a glass enclosure, stands a vintage Jaguar, showcasing Coventry's automobile legacy, draped subtly with Indian fabrics.
Main Dining Area:
Seating: Upholstered chairs in luxurious Indian fabrics, juxtaposed with sleek and contemporary tables.

Ceiling: Modern, minimalist with hanging pendant lights inspired by the lanterns seen in Indian palaces.
Buffet Area:
