Shamiana:
The literal translation of Shamiana means tent- and one that has been a host to numerous product launches, wedding receptions, and chill out zones with foot tapping music. The area can seat a maximum of 80- 100 people and is the single largest semi private area in the restaurant.
 

Jungle Bar:
The idea of scattering peanut shells in our bar was inspired by the rich and famous in the Long Bar of the Raffles of Singapore. Their famous patrons frivolously threw down ‘peanut shells’ as a good humoured slightly rebellious act of appreciation which they could not get away with at home. Our guests indulge in the same simple pleasure which we happily encourage.

To put it all in a nut shell, don’t think we sacked the cleaners, or are NUTS in the JUNGLE BAR, so just throw your shells down and relax.

The Jungle Bar is designed as a hunters perch with beautiful paintings of animals on the wall. Decorated with hurricane lamps, rattan wall coverings, cane furniture, palm trees and tiger skin rugs. Warm low lit candles and soft background music gives the bar a cosy intimate feel. The bar is also available for complete takeovers and theme parties.

Every event whether large or small, lavish or minimal, is tailored to suit the client’s vision and budget.  Our fundamental principle is that each event must not only be unique, but legendary, discussed not only in the following weeks, but also years to come.

La Porte des Indes has successfully hosted events for companies such as American Express, Air India, Astra Zeneca, Barclays, Monsoon, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, UBS Warburg, Oracle, British Airways, Cannes Film Festival, Carlton Television, Christies, Citibank, Coca-Cola, Columbia Pictures, Delta Airlines, De Beers, Deutsch Bank, Emporium Armani, Glaxo Smith-Kline & Beecham, Goldman Sachs, Harrods, ITV, Jack Barclay Ltd, Lancôme, London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, LWT, Mark Butler Associates, Marks & Spencer's, MTV – Europe, Sabena Airlines, Selfridges, Sony Music, Standard Chartered, Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Radio, Warner Brothers, Western Union.
