CHICA

Try something outside the box

ByIANSlife

June 10, 2022 (IANSlifeThe immersive, rebellious, postcard-perfect, and luxurious Chica, a space spread over a lavish 10,000 square feet, is nestled in the heart of the city. Chica takes inclusivity to the next level with an elaborate Dining Room, a bustling Club Bar, a picturesque Boutique, and a sense of openness at The Fountain Court. Chica presents itself as a slice of an idyllic French garden, taking inspiration from the lush foliage of the outdoor area. Chica is a melting pot of various forms of architecture and interior design, with landscaping being the most noticeable feature of the space. The central chandelier in the Dining Room is made up of 250 pieces of burnt glass in shades of rose, sage, and white.

The Dining Room is a sophisticated space with softer tones and the gentle buzz of a bar where the focus is solely on delicious food. Chica's glass-roofed Boutique is a lovely place for larger groups or parties to spend time while remaining a part of the overall Chica experience. The Fountain Court, on the other hand, is a stunning outdoor space where nature meets the future, with a backdrop of blue sky and the solace of rich, foliage green. Chica aims to create a magical experience by curating different parts of the outdoor space to have distinct identities of their own, complete with unique finishes and textures. The individually composed vignettes are meant to be unravelled frame by frame as you walk through the exhibition.

The menu at Chica is inspired from the stories of the Samurais to the journeys of Sultans, and focuses on Asian & Mediterranean Cuisines, with a never seen before section on the rebellious fusion of the two – MediterAsian! Familiar dishes with clever tweaks, comfort food served with sophistication, table side theatrics and an experience for all senses. When at Chica, try something outside the box, push the culinary boundaries. From the Safrron Chicken Salad with Citrus Yuzu Granita, to Nori Harissa Chicken Wings, to AubergineKashke with Terriyaki, to our Signature Sushi Rolls, to Three Cheese Dumpling with Chilli Sambal, to Grilled Tiger Prawns with Tom Yum Risotto, to our Awesome Community Boards, one thing is for sure – you will experience flavour like never before. The signature dishes match visual excellence with handpicked produce, and are the perfect accompaniment for a night of cocktails, or possibly the best conversation starter. Complete a stellar evening at Chica with the unforgettable, Malt Pecan & Coffee Tart.

The menu is cleverly paired with world-class cocktails that centre on unique ingredients, classics reimagined into surprising concoctions that combine Asian and Mediterranean histories. The cocktail menu includes unique and new world cocktails, in-house liqueurs and spirit infusions inspired by MediterAsian Botany, and a blend of unique ingredients, shrubs, spices, and artisanal spirits. The Chica Bar offers a world of discovery, from a dedicated G&T outdoor bar to a Toasted Rice infused Rye Whiskey with Saffron Vermouth, stirred rather than shaken. The Bar is uniquely designed in a bottle green shade with brass accents, patterned marble and hardwood flooring set against rough dholpur stone walls and shimmering antique mirror detailing that welcomes everyone for a drink.

Chica sets the tone for busy lunches, never-ending brunches, and turns up the energy in the evening to create an atmosphere of wholesome and complete pleasure with a stunning design canvas, delectable food, and a luxurious bar.
