Hungry referring to ‘Hunger for Knowledge’ and Monkey pointing at ‘Adventure’, this European eatery and bar spreads over three floors overlooking the lush green deer park in the capital.

Its youthful vibe is highlighted through the large graphics, casted metal quotes and unique objects embedded in the floors and displayed on the metal shelves. From Edison Bulb Chandeliers to the shelves derived from chemical bonds, this space aims to attract any world explorer. Capturing the spirit of adventure through handpicked artefacts from across the ages to subtle embellishments of bare brick and concrete inlays, the Hungry Monkey is on every map.

The context behind the name of this space was the insinuation in developing the sense of the restaurant. While the main floor hosts the dining and kitchen areas, the top floor is the higher energy zone with the bar. Creating a New York loft vibe yet making it unique was the starting point of developing the design. Besides hosting an exceptional dining experience with engaging interiors, The Hungry Monkey should be much more than the sum of its parts. It should be a space to interact with close friends, connect with like-minded strangers, and humor your inner animal.

The Hungry Monkey is characterized by bare brick white walls, wooden cladding on the dado, edison bulbs, detailed mild steel shelving and artifacts that narrate discovery, invention and curiosity. Walls emphasized with quotes, large screen prints of artichokes, laboratory apparatus, constellations etched in brown mirror, a bar shelf derived from chemical reactions, inlay of unique objects in concrete tops and little elements on the floor come together to create the mood for the space. In hues of brown, orange and grey, the space is illuminated using candles and spots.
