About this space

Colonel Saab is a restaurant housed in a historic civic interior. The defining quality is a layered heritage character that pairs period architectural details with Indian decorative accents.

Design: The main dining areas use warm terracotta-painted walls, deep buttoned leather banquettes and dark timber floors to create a formal, contained feel. The walls display framed portraits and a curated collection of decorative plates and artefacts that give the space a gallery-like character.

Features: A PA system and speakers are provided, and external DJs and personal playlists are permitted. Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, step-free guest access and accessible toilets are available. An in-house bar serves cocktails and a full beverage list, and large windows bring natural daylight into the dining rooms.

Ideal for: Business and social groups seeking seated, table-service dining in a formal yet lively decorative setting.

What sets it apart: The main dining room is anchored by a ceiling hung with dozens of crystal chandeliers, creating a dramatic, theatrical focal point.

What guests say: The venue's service is attentive and welcoming. The space is kept clean and shows meticulous maintenance, including well-maintained washrooms.

Fantastic service from the team at Colonel Saab. Incredibly professional helping host our wedding reception. Planning food and service were amazing. Specific thanks to Sagar, Atul and Rony.
