Design DNA

Deep navy throughout with a light serif display face whose last words turn gold ('A word that means a tale.'). Dark cocktail/food hero with gold pill 'Reserve a table'. Split story block with interior photo, a carousel of round plated dishes, a gold marquee strip of italic words, menu category thumbnails, photo dish cards, a stats row (4.8, 410 reviews, 100+ dishes), an interior photo mosaic, a large review quote, a private dining card and two booking cards (reserve / takeaway) above a giant gradient QISSA wordmark footer.

Worth borrowing

Colour the final words of each serif headline gold as the brand's signature.
Use a gold marquee strip of italic sensory words as a section divider.
Close with two equal cards for 'Reserve a table' and 'Order takeaway' before a giant wordmark.
