Crafting Magic
A Landmark Opening for India Bistro’s First UK Venture
FiFi Interiors is delighted to announce the opening of India Bistro Chapel Allerton, marking the brand’s first UK restaurant and an exciting addition to North Leeds’ vibrant dining scene. Working closely with the India Bistro team, FiFi Interiors delivered a warm, tactile and contemporary interior that reimagines modern Indian dining through a crafted and comforting lens.
A Design Rooted in Craft, Comfort and Connection
India Bistro’s concept, shaped by the Labour of Love philosophy, celebrates natural materials, expressive craftsmanship and a sense of togetherness. The design for the Chapel Allerton site focuses on earthy tones, organic textures and handcrafted details, creating a restaurant and bar environment that feels both stylish and inviting. From saffron and terracotta to soft moss greens and warm timber finishes, every material has been chosen to evoke comfort, connection and authenticity.
Warm Textures and a Contemporary Bar Experience
The restaurant features a sculptural bar with textured wall finishes and layered lighting, introducing a warm and welcoming focal point. Intimate booth seating framed by rattan screens creates natural zones for conversation, while soft curves, crafted joinery and a mix of tactile materials add depth and atmosphere throughout the space.
Modern Indian Dining with a Contemporary Interior Narrative
The dining area blends detailed servery design with bespoke furniture, atmospheric lighting and artwork inspired by traditional Indian craft forms. Curated bric a brac, textural finishes and sculptural planting add further expression, resulting in an interior that feels grounded, soulful and modern — a fresh take on Indian restaurant design in Leeds.
A New Chapter for Chapel Allerton’s Hospitality Scene
Located in the heart of Chapel Allerton, India Bistro introduces a new, elevated approach to Indian dining in Leeds. The interior supports the brand’s ambitious menu of seasonal Indian dishes, bold flavours and modern British influences, offering guests a memorable backdrop from day to night.
Proudly Designed by FiFi Interiors
India Bistro Chapel Allerton is now open, and FiFi Interiors is proud to have shaped the brand’s first UK venture. The project reflects FiFi’s commitment to crafting hospitality spaces that combine commercial intelligence with expressive, story led interior design.
