A landmark rooted in the Shivaliks

The name

Named after the resilient, ever-blooming flower that thrives against the odds, Café Lantana rises where New Chandigarh meets the Shivalik foothills — a destination built not for a season, but for a decade and beyond.

The people behind it

Café Lantana is a venture by Affable Planet, led by founder and director Mr. Ramandeep Singh — a name that has stood for trust and quality across two industries for over a decade: fine jewellery and real estate.

In jewellery, every transaction is personal — an heirloom, a milestone, a promise. In real estate, every decision carries weight — a family’s future, a lifetime of savings. Years spent serving clients across both worlds taught Mr. Singh something that no market report could: true understanding of what people expect, and the discipline to consistently deliver it.

That understanding is the foundation Café Lantana was built on. Hospitality, at its core, is no different — it’s about anticipating what someone needs before they ask, and delivering it with the same care whether it’s a diamond, a deed, or a dish.

Beyond the boardroom, Mr. Singh’s true education came from the road — over 50 countries across every inhabited continent, from the piazzas of Europe to the highlands of Latin America. A cup of coffee in Rome, a late-night bar in Buenos Aires, a quiet workspace in Tokyo — each destination left behind a fragment of what hospitality could feel like at its best. Lantana is where those fragments have finally come home, woven into a single address at the foot of the Shivaliks.

With Lantana, Affable Planet enters a new industry — but not as newcomers. As people who have spent a decade listening to what excellence means to their clients, and who are now ready to serve it on a plate.
