"And then they went and went to the garden, where each fruit was paired, and the canals were there full-flowing, and the trees were high, and birds were singing there. And they entered the palace in this garden, which drives sadness from the heart, and sitting down, They began to talk ... And they laid out a tablecloth with a dish, and put a jug with wine ... "Oriental flavor of the restaurant" Divan "(Sredne-Tishinsky lane, 28), its magnificent diversity, its intricate, but graphically balanced ornaments immediately resemble the compositional patterns of the Scheherazade tales. In two small halls concentrated many attributes of the East. These are, above all, fabrics that have always been famous for their dressing, especially colored and patterned. It is from them that the tents are made in the main hall, and the decoration with golden tassels and fringe makes them even more solemn. Inside each tent is a table, and around it - comfortable sofas. The sculptors reproduced bas-relief patterns on the walls and ceiling, which are also very characteristic of oriental culture. The finest painting recalls the magnificent palaces of the ancient East. Smaller in size - VIP-hall. The main space here is occupied by a long and wide sofa with an incredible amount of pillows. Due to his form, he not only invites to sit down, but makes him literally fall apart. However, this is what the visitors do who are offered to watch miniature performances of famous yogis, the most flexible people on the planet, the show Balance, the show Hula-hoop (the number with hoops), and of course, belly dance. The design of the hall amazes with the complexity of the ornaments, the brightness of the color solutions based on the ancient tradition of very rich tones of the images: the trees on them are bright emerald green, the background is bright blue, the figures are yellow.
