Rahul and Malini Akerkar’s new restaurant Qualia has been launched at the Lodha World One Towers, Mumbai. The 100-seater restaurant is serving a modern, cuisine-agnostic menu, which is made with combinations of locally-sourced ingredients, perfectly balanced sweet and sour flavour profiles.
Akerkar said, “Qualia means the quality of sensory experience. It's the quality of the essence of something. It perfectly encapsulates what we are trying to achieve with our restaurant. A lot of thought, detail and love have gone into this project. We want to offer a wholesome, sensory experience via the food and beverage, the visuals, the touch and feel, the service. The name really summed up for us what we want Qualia to be all about.”
The restaurant’s menu is divided up into several sections. Ingredients are sourced from across India, with cheese coming from Gujarat, rice from Assam and Jharkhand, fish from Cochin and Chennai, artichokes from Hyderabad, and much more.
