Who needs another predictable pasta or sushi roll when you can have gochujang risotto with seafood or carbonara udon? Verdant Entertainment Pvt Ltd has today announced the launch of Muze, a Euro-Asian fusion dining experience by Gen Z sisters Saloni and Anannya.
Located in Khar West, this 2,900 sq. ft. space with 100 seats is their most personal venture yet—a love letter to the cuisines, cultures, and design aesthetics that have shaped their experiences from childhood.
Drawing from their travels, the sisters have crafted a space where Art Deco meets bold Asian aesthetics like animal prints, while the menu balances unexpected flavors where familiar dishes take on bold new identities.
"We wanted Muze to be a reflection of our travels—each dish carries a memory, a place, a moment that stayed with us," said Saloni Shelar, Founder Verdant Entertainment Pvt Ltd. "Whether it’s the Carbonara Udon that reminds us of summers in Tokyo or the Lotus Salad inspired by the vibrant night markets of Vietnam, our menu is a passport to flavors we love, reimagined in ways that excite."
Leading the kitchen is Head Chef Thevar Chandrahasan Pandian (formerly Indigo Fine Dine, Sassy Teaspoon, and Isabella Tapas Bar), whose culinary approach balances innovation with deep respect for tradition. With a focus on refined techniques and unexpected pairings, he transforms ingredients into dishes that are both playful and deeply satisfying.
Anannya, Founder, Verdant Entertainment Pvt Ltd, shared, “Mumbai’s dining scene is constantly evolving, and we wanted to create something that feels fresh and exciting while still being welcoming. MUZE is our tribute to the cities that have inspired us, and we can’t wait to share it with our guests.”
Designed by Designworkx, Muze’s interiors channel the energy of discovery, blending the glamour of the Roaring Twenties with bold Asian aesthetics. Deep jewel tones, striking geometric patterns, and playful touches like flamingo and tiger motifs bring the space to life. You notice the radical lines and geometry referencing the 1920s European flapper girl era in the elevated diners, while the Art Deco influence extends beyond the interiors to the plating as well. Ambient lighting and layered textures create a balance of grandeur and warmth, mirroring the menu’s fusion of familiar comforts with bold new identities.

Nestled in the lush embrace of Santha Bagh, 1932 Trevi is more than a restaurant—it is a passage through time, where Italian grandeur meets the soul of Indian heritage.
Inspired by the Maharaja’s travels to Italy in 1932, Trevi is a tribute to his dream of bringing the splendor of Roman artistry and culinary excellence to Jaipur. The newly launched restaurant invites guests into a world where every detail tells a story, every flavour holds a piece of history, and every experience weaves into one beautiful tale.
A Space Where History and Design Converge
Designed by Shantanu Garg, 1932 Trevi’s interiors echo the romance of Italy with the regality of India. The intricate Padma motifs and natural elements weave a narrative of culture and artistry, while the centerpiece—a magnificent fountain reminiscent of Rome’s iconic Trevi—invites guests to partake in the age-old ritual of tossing a coin, symbolizing hope, wishes, and shared moments. “1932 Trevi isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating an immersive space where design and storytelling coexist,” says Shantanu Garg.
An amalgamation of Italian and Indian Flavors
Guided by the Maharaja’s passion for food, 1932 Trevi’s menu brings to us the best of Italian finesse and Indian richness. Each course is a carefully curated experience:
• Appetizers introduce herbaceous, delicate flavors that set the stage.
• Mains balance the boldness of Indian spices with the refinement of Italian craftsmanship.
• Desserts offer notes of sweetness infused with aromatic depth.
• Cocktails, inspired by gemstones, blend sophistication and surprise, mirroring the opulence of both cultures.
The Food & Beverage Program at 1932 Trevi
1932 Trevi’s menu is an exploration of tradition and innovation, showcasing the vibrancy of Indian ingredients and the depth of Italian culinary philosophy. Signature dishes like the Corn Tempura Cake with Gondhoraj Lemon Gel, the Trevi Fried Chicken with Gribiche Sauce, and the classic Cacio e Pepe pay homage to flavours both familiar and new. The desserts, including the Vanilla and Hibiscus Wild Rice Kheer, add an unexpected yet comforting end to the experience.
The beverage program at 1932 Trevi is equally immersive, featuring handcrafted cocktails that draw inspiration from regional elements married with global techniques. The Trevi Paloma, made with Patron Silver and Plum Mathania Cordial, brings a bright and sour playfulness, while Symphony No. 41 blends Dewar’s 12yo with cherry vinegar and mint for a refreshing yet complex profile. For those who prefer a richer indulgence, the Cat’s Eye, featuring toasted hazelnut aged rum and vegan foam, is a velvety, nutty delight.
A Vision Realized
1932 Trevi stands as a testament to passion, legacy, and the pursuit of beauty. “1932 Trevi isn’t just a place—it’s a dream realized,” shares Namokar. “It’s a space where wishes are made, moments linger, and every detail transports guests to a world of magic and beauty.” Jai, who brought this vision to life, adds, “Building 1932 Trevi was about turning an ambitious dream into reality—a space where tradition meets modernity in perfect harmony.”
