The décor is simple but effective. The placement of chairs and tables is such that you do not feel cramped up. The muted tones and perfect lighting add to the appeal of this place. Nothing is over the top and looks decently stylish. The place has welcoming feel and decor seems to be inspired by the British Raj. You will se plush sofas places along with colorful khatiya.

- 1947’s dinner buffet appears more popular than the a-la-carte, which seems worthwhile only for mishits like 'Lahori Subzi Seekh'. I am quite sure that Lahore is unlikely to bother accepting its dry existence at all
- The dinner buffet is adept at North Indian staples. Dishes like the smoky and textured 'Yellow Dal', 'Phulkas', 'light Tomato chutney' and unpretentious 'Sooji Halwa' carry a homely comfort
- Uncharacteristic plates like a 'Celery Salad' (fibrous and vegetal), 'Dal Makhni' (glutinous with firm lentils) and 'Pasta' (could pass off as Macaroni Upma) turned out less successful
