Interior

The new romantic interior combines seductive Indian richness and sparkle, with moody, dramatic lighting, and 1840's sepia etchings of Indian life.

The restaurant reflects an eclectic mix of the finest modern Indian craftsmanship in a sophisticated, stylish setting.

On entering Chutney Mary you are welcomed by a stunning, comfortable lounge area leading to a dramatic stairway, featuring an enormous Moghul style mirror-work mural.

The main restaurant is warm and luxurious with dozens of candles in specially designed glass candelabra and lamps reflecting the romantic side of India.
