Afraa – A revelation awaits your senses!

Kolkata, December 2018: Black is the new white! The meaning of Afraa is white and it signifies purity however the higher truth is that in the beginning there was a great void or the nothingness from which emerged creation giving birth to the higher form of white which is truly black! With this belief, renowned city-based hospitality group AmbujaNeotia Group is all set to create an influence in the food industry with the grand re-launch of their flagship restaurant Afraa in City Center, Salt Lake. The new Afraa takes you to a bigger reality of re-defining lounging and authenticity of cuisine in its new avatar.   

Talking about the launch, Nitin Kohli, Whole Time Director – AmbujaNeotia Hospitality, says, “Afraa when it opened in 2008 became a name that defined how one could classically compliment the experience of a lounge and a restaurant within one space yet create distinct separate identities for both. Within few months of its opening Afraa became a massive name to recon with in the hospitality space in Kolkata. Ten years down the line we at AmbujaNeotia are ready not by reinventing the wheel but by increasing its horse-power and bringing you a brand new Afraa this December of 2018!”
