Stratix was founded with a vision to build a restaurant group with a global foot-print.

It aligns itself to two core values:

Life’s greatest joy is eating great food with the people that you love. Embarking on a sensory journey together with one’s loved one, looking each other in the eye, bonded in that special moment of bliss with that first perfect bite.

There is something special about speaking without words getting in the way. Listening, without being spoken to.

Ishaara is an expression of a deeper connection with people. It is a modern Indian restaurant run by a service staff that is among the best in the business. The fact that they are speech and hearing impaired is almost incidental to the culinary experience.

It is Indian without being clichéd, modern without being molecular, and rich without being heavy

Vision

The idea of Ishaara is to create a dining experience offering high quality food, complemented with warm and friendly service. Ishaara employs people with speech and hearing impairment exclusively as guest-service associates because of certain key hospitality attributes they naturally possess, which are smile, focus, intuition and warmth, in effect hiring them for their abilities and not disability. The food at Ishaara is presented with simple elegance. However, the depth that is soon experienced on the palate, is a result of exploring the origins of these dishes, and their journey through time and geographies.

Diners who appreciate the nuances of regional cuisine will enjoy the fresh approach to Ishaara’s menu.
