As night falls, the dining experience continues with a traditional shadow puppet show, featuring intricately crafted puppets made from painted cowhide and wood, brought to life in a mesmerising three-act performance.

Our goal is to revive and showcase this ancient art form through a unique fusion of tradition, storytelling, and fine dining.”
