The brief
A family-run Punjabi restaurant in Karlsruhe wanted to feel like a destination, not another listing on a delivery app. The site had to carry warmth, heritage and a sense of arrival.
The approach
We built the whole experience around one idea: crossing a threshold. A mandala gate opens with a Gurmukhi welcome, scroll scrubs a film through the arch, and marigold petals drift across plum and gold — before landing on a clear menu, lunch offers and table booking.
Highlights
