The reinvention of a highway dhaba as a design destination — a festoon-lit courtyard with fountains and pergolas outside, mural-lined dining rooms within.

Milan's began as a classic NH9 dhaba; the brief was to grow it into a place families detour for. The heart of the design is an open-air night court: steel pergolas strung with festoon lamps, a mosaic-tiled fountain, woven pendant shades and stone underfoot — highway dining moved from the roadside into a garden.

Indoors, the dining halls take a storytelling turn: panelled walls in cream and cane, brass light fittings, and full-wall murals of caravan scenes — elephants, camels and pavilions in warm sepia — that give the rooms the air of an old travellers' serai. The imagery shown here is from the design set; execution is under way on site.
