The restaurant is named Patang, literally a "fighter kite" in Gujarati language. It was designed by an architect Hasmukh Patel. The restaurant and the adjoining Chinubhai Centre, a commercial complex, were built in 1980–1984 at a cost of approximately ₹1.25 crore (equivalent to ₹20 crore or US$2.4 million in 2023).
