Led by Rishad Nathani, nephew of Rahul Akerkar, and his company Breadbox Hospitality, The Clearing House is a 4,000-square-foot space that sits on Calicut Road in Ballard Estate. There's an ice factory next door, it’s functional, and this was the machine room for the ice factory. The Clearing House has been divided into two parts: the bright (at least in the day time) Foyer and the darker, more nocturnal appropriate Chamber. The delicate indoor lights are a contrast to the iron ceiling, that remains from its ice factory days. The Clearing House, Ballard Estate; 6223 2266/ 67; Timings: from noon to 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. onwards for dinnerThe author is a freelance writer
