Vastu for Restaurants and Cafes – Simple Guide by Astrologer Ashish Somani (Ahmedabad)
Running a restaurant or café is not just about good food. You also need regular customers, happy reviews, smooth staff coordination, and steady profits. One big factor that silently affects all of this is Vastu.
If your entrance, kitchen, seating or washroom is in the wrong place, you may face problems like:
-
Low or uneven footfall
-
Good customers not returning
-
Staff fights or delays in work
-
Sudden negative reviews
-
Expenses increasing more than income
That’s why I, Astrologer & Vastu Consultant Ashish Somani from Ahmedabad, am sharing a simple Vastu guide for restaurants and cafés — so you can align your business with the right planetary energy.
Which Direction is Best for Which Type of Restaurant?
Every entrance direction has a planetary influence, and that planet decides which type of food will perform best there.
✅ If your entrance is in North-East (Jupiter + Moon)
Best for pure vegetarian thali restaurants, prasad-style bhojanalayas, or homely Indian food.
This direction gives a calm and spiritual feeling, so people expect clean and simple food.
✅ If the entrance is in North (Mercury)
Best for juice centres, salad bars, kids-friendly snacks, fast grab-and-go healthy cafés.
This direction supports fresh, light and youthful food concepts.
✅ If the entrance is in North-West (Moon + Air)
Perfect for desserts, sweets, lassi, kulfi or milk-based food outlets.
Moon represents taste and milk, so people naturally enjoy sweet or liquid food here.
✅ If the entrance is in West (Saturn)
Best for affordable fast food — pizza, burgers, shawarma, non-veg snacks or tawa stalls.
Saturn attracts mass customers who visit regularly without much thought.
✅ If the entrance is in South-West (Rahu)
Ideal for fusion cafés, smoky BBQ, lounge-style seating, hookah bars or themed restaurants.
This direction suits dark lighting and experimental menus.
✅ If the entrance is in South (Mars)
Perfect for spicy food, tandoori restaurants, kebabs, red meat, Andhra or Rajasthani food.
Mars represents heat and aggression, so bold flavours perform well.
✅ If the entrance is in South-East (Venus + Fire)
Best for fine dining, ice-cream lounges, premium desserts, candlelight cafés.
Here presentation and ambience matter a lot, not just food.
✅ If the entrance is in East (Sun)
Ideal for royal thalis, satvik meals, breakfast places, ayurvedic restaurants.
Avoid non-veg and alcohol here — people expect healthy and energising options.
Best Vastu Settings Inside the Restaurant
Here’s how to place everything correctly inside:
Section | Best Direction (Vastu) |
---|---|
Kitchen / Cooking Stove | South-East (best) or North-West |
Cash Counter / Billing | North — drawer should open towards North or East |
Owner Seating / Manager Desk | South-West, facing East or North |
Washroom Placement as per Restaurant Vastu
Many people say North-West is fine for toilets, but that is not fully correct.
North-West is ruled by Moon, which controls customer mood and satisfaction.
If you place the washroom exactly in North-West, people may feel irritated or uncomfortable, even if the food is good.
✅ Best Position for Washroom:
Between West and North-West — here Saturn absorbs the waste energy and Moon is not disturbed.
❌ Never place washrooms in:
-
North-East — blocks blessings
-
South-East — disturbs the fire/kitchen energy
-
Exact North-West — affects customer happiness
Colours and Lighting Tips
-
Use warm colours like red, orange or yellow in South & South-East zones — they increase hunger.
-
Use light shades like green, white or cream in North & East zones — they keep people calm.
-
Use earthy colours like brown or grey in South-West — good for stable seating.
-
Avoid too much black, unless it’s a night café or lounge theme.
Quick Do’s and Don’ts
✅ Keep good aroma at the entrance
✅ Place plants or water bowls in North
✅ Keep music soft in North-East
✅ Display best dishes in North
❌ Don’t place toilets in North-East or South-East
❌ Avoid dark walls directly in front of the entrance
❌ Don’t keep damaged or unused items in South-West
