Zarqash launched where Riwaz once stood, a restaurant Bangalore diners already knew. The familiarity was a double-edged sword. Some would compare. Some would resist. And some would simply not notice the change. 

Chef Rohit Ghai's vision was progressive, artisanal, and deeply personal. But the space carried old associations. The challenge was to make Zarqash feel distinct, not a rebrand, but a reimagination. 

The brief: build affinity for Zarqash on its own terms without erasing what came before.
