Working alongside Chef Anahita Dhondy, one of the leading chefs in India, Vishal is all set to take the city by storm with his experiential gourmet restaurant, Glasshouse.

Glasshouse echoes Vishal’s favourites across the music, nightlife culture, and the aspiration to be one of its own kind in every sense of the word. With a conservatory theme, the 150-seater restaurant offers customers scenic views of Gurgaon’s skyline with every bite of their meal. Inspired by greenhouse and glass houses, the design and structure of the place is completely encased with glass on all sides.
Vishal adds, “We intend to create a strong portfolio of experiential and iconic restaurants with a mix of diverse and landmark concepts. Steady growth is what I truly believe in and would want MFVL to be recognized as one of the key organisations committed to bring in the best places to have a wholesome dining experience.”
Bringing in her expertise to the culinary end of the spectrum at Glasshouse, Chef Anahita Dhondy is excited to explore sustainable menus.
