The area has evolved as a one- stop shop for all your hunger needs, sim- ply because of the range of cuisines and dishes at various restaurants. While the /*@42 )*6*7 ' guest is spoilt for choice, it has also ensured that the competition among 6 6 &&- restaurants is tough. Now if you were to head there on a weekend, to hang out with friends, Decode Air Bar can certainly be one option that will attract your attention. The sprawling restaurant covers two floors with an indoor seating arrangement on the first floor and an al fresco one on the terrace. While its walls are done in shades of black and brown, an arc made of exposed bricks in the centre of the din- ing area on the first floor offers a contrast while transporting you to the World War II era. The restaurant is decorated with vintage paraphernalia like transistors, globes, hard-bound books, retro tele- phones and more with an entire wall cov- ered with a green board which has a seemingly detailed war plan. Low lights and retro-styled furniture add to the ambience. The roof, on the other hand, is built in the European style which imparts a modern touch to the place. Events like live music and DJ perfor- mances make the restaurant a perfect perfect bite. The fourth dish was Pav bhaji the dish. This was practically art on a plate.
