Live Music, Ghazals And Long Dinners: Why Casa Artesa Is More Than Just A Meal in Amritsar

Tucked away in the heart of Amritsar, Casa Artesa and Sage by Artesa feel less like a restaurant and more like a thoughtfully designed retreat from the city’s everyday rush. From the moment you step in,

there’s an unmistakable sense of calm — open skies, lush surroundings, warm lighting, and spaces that invite you to slow down and settle in. Casa Artesa’s alfresco seating is one of its strongest highlights. Designed to be enjoyed year-round, the outdoor area comes equipped with heaters for cooler evenings, making it just as comfortable as it is charming. Earthy textures, handpicked décor, and soft illumination create a relaxed yet elevated setting—perfect for long conversations, relaxed brunches, or lingering dinners under the stars. Indoors, Sage by Artesa offers a more refined, artistic experience. Life-size handmade art pieces, sculptural installations, and carefully curated design elements define the space. Each seating area feels distinct, whether you’re tucked into an intimate corner or seated in a light-filled room that brings a sense of openness to the dining experience.

On the culinary front, Sage by Artesa delivers a multi-cuisine menu that’s hard to rush through. The appetizers are standout — so flavourful and well-executed that you genuinely find yourself lingering over them, unsure when to move on to the mains. The fish dishes, in particular, are exceptional, cooked to perfection and easily among the most memorable offerings on the menu. Generous portion sizes ensure the experience feels indulgent without being overwhelming, making it ideal for sharing across the table.
The craft cocktail programme adds another layer to the experience. Featuring signature cocktails, the menu is as visually striking as it is inventive. From creative names to thoughtful presentation, each drink feels like a small work of art. Even the cocktail menu itself is beautifully designed, reinforcing the sense that every detail here has been considered.

Adding to the ambience is the restaurant’s live music programme. Evenings often come alive with soulful performances that blend seamlessly into the space, enhancing the mood without overpowering conversation. On select nights, ghazal evenings take centre stage, lending the space a nostalgic, intimate charm that perfectly complements the setting.
Whether you’re visiting with friends, planning a family outing, or looking for a place that balances great food, music, and atmosphere, Casa Artesa and Sage by Artesa truly offer something for everyone. It’s a space where you come for a meal — but stay for the feeling.
