These twin restaurants in Kolkata, TUA and Synthe, share an address, but nothing more
Two distinct restaurants, TUA and Synthe, operate side-by-side in a Kolkata building, offering vastly different atmospheres and concepts. The founders created these spaces to provide unique, contrasting experiences for diners at the same location.
Why it matters
This highlights creative trends in the urban hospitality industry and the evolution of themed dining experiences.
On the second floor of Lee Road’s Altitude Building, two doors stand side by side, each promising an entirely different night. Open one and you enter a room of roses, softly-lit tables and conversations that slowly give way to dining and dancing. Choose the other and you step into a world that imagines what cocktails might taste like centuries from now.
Like an Alice in Wonderland moment without the rabbit hole, the hardest decision arrives before the first bite or sip. Which world do you enter first?
Across a shared address in Kolkata, stand Tua and Synthe separated by little more than a wall and two distinct philosophies.
Together, Tua and Synthe feel like parallel universes conceived by a trio of founders - Aman Bansal, Omaid Amir and Tabrez Nadeem - who met fittingly over karaoke sessions in the very space they now occupy.
