These design-led restaurants are the culmination of years in luxury hospitality, and every intricate detail is imbued with the co- founders’ shared passions — food, fashion, travel, textiles, art — to create incomparable dining experiences in unforgettable spaces. Exquisite, elegant, and to LSL CAPITAL, simply effortless. Every guest deserves nothing less.
The brand’s roots stretch back to the 1950s, when the Nair family patriarch, Captain Krishnan Nair, entered the intricately woven world of textiles. He set up Leela Scottish Lace, a lace-manufacturing business named after his wife, Leela, and worked in hand- spun Indian yarn — a precursor to his now iconic Bleeding Madras. Later, at the age of 65, Captain Nair’s ambitious and visionary heart led him to establish his first luxury hotel in Mumbai.
The Nair family nurtured that first hotel into a world renowned hospitality brand: The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts, eight magnificent hotels famed internationally as beacons of Indian luxury.
Over the years, the family built a reputation for unparalleled service and first-class culinary experiences, hosting New York’s acclaimed restaurants Le Cirque and Megu while honing their original Indian fine-dining experience, Jamavar, across five Indian cities.
To Dinesh and Samyukta, LSL CAPITAL was an instinctive next step; a new chapter in a story they were born to tell. This luxury restaurant collection pays homage to their hospitality roots and heritage in everything from the name LSL, Leela Scottish Lace to the brand’s values: thoughtful design, effortless service, and decadent food.
Every restaurant is matched with exceptional culinary talent; chefs are hand-picked to bring each dining concept to life.
The kitchens use authentic, high quality ingredients and serve seasonal menus that bring out the best of fresh British produce, resulting in imaginative dishes made for sharing and savouring. They’re far more than just good meals: they’re bespoke culinary experiences.
The restaurants themselves are design-led, providing fitting backdrops to good company, easy conversation and glorious food. The co-founders pore over every minute detail, scouring the globe for plush, artisanal textiles; commissioning artists to illustrate intricate wall murals; hand- selecting everything from the furnishings to the tableware; and adding finishing touches from their own personal collections. After all, a beautiful space sets the scene for a perfect evening.
As does the service. From the gracious welcome to the fond goodbye, hospitality comes as naturally to LSL CAPITAL as breathing. Each and every visitor is treated as an honoured guest, served with the effortless warmth and attentiveness they truly deserve. These personal, unforgettable experiences are an expression of gratitude: each time someone chooses an LSL CAPITAL restaurant, it’s a true privilege.
To the father-daughter co-founders of LSL CAPITAL, dining and entertaining have always felt like home; their most precious memories were made gathered around the table, eating and drinking with friends and family. Hosting, celebrating, cooking, sharing — it’s far more than a calling. It’s what they know.
