You don’t start with food at Pendulo Delhi. At least, not if you’re here for Cocktail Sway. The first drink arrives before anything else, bright, layered, slightly unexpected. And then the food follows, not to match it, but to respond to it. This is where the experience shifts. The table begins to move around the glass. Pendulo Delhi, located in Mehrauli at Ambawatta One, is a contemporary fine dining restaurant known for blending Indian and Mexican influences. But right now

Delhi’s cocktail culture has steadily evolved over the last decade, but The Agave Room Delhi introduces something altogether different. Tucked inside a quiet, tree-lined neighbourhood, the space is an agave-forward cocktail bar built around tequila, mezcal, and an idea rarely explored in India’s bar scene: drinks designed through the lens of the five elements. Walk in and it becomes immediately clear that this is not just another cocktail bar. The lighting is low and intenti

Delhi has a new rooftop bar, and it isn’t in a rush. Second Born Delhi , located in GK2’s M Block Market, arrives with a different rhythm from the city’s usual nightlife. Instead of chasing spectacle, the rooftop bar leans into something quieter and more intentional: long evenings, good drinks, and the kind of conversations that stretch comfortably into the night. Founded by Sangram Singh Samra and Anushka Chaturvedi, the space is imagined as the easygoing sibling to Staple.

Cavity at Barbet & Pals is a new immersive nine-course cocktail and culinary experience in Greater Kailash II, New Delhi, and it quietly changes how we think about a night out. Housed inside Barbet & Pals, this intimate, evolving space moves beyond the idea of a bar and into something far more deliberate and far more personal. Delhi has no shortage of new openings, but this is not another launch with a longer bar counter and louder playlist. Cavity feels like a room you are m

There is a new kind of nightlife unfolding in the capital, and it lives behind an unassuming alley door. Together listening bar Delhi is exactly what it sounds like, a hidden, design-led cocktail bar in Delhi built around vinyl, Japanese-inspired drinks, and the quiet art of paying attention. Launched on 13 February 2026, it is not trying to compete with the city’s loudest nights. It is creating its own frequency. You do not stumble into Together. You find it. And that dist

There are Thai restaurants, and then there are institutions. Nara Thai belongs firmly to the latter. Born in Bangkok in 2003 and quietly building a global reputation long before Thai cuisine became fashionable dining-room shorthand, Nara has always been about restraint, balance, and a certain calm confidence. Its arrival in Gurugram feels less like a launch and more like a long-awaited arrival. Located in the heart of the city’s dining circuit, Gurugram finally gets a Thai

There is a certain kind of opening that does not announce itself loudly. It simply arrives, fully formed, already aware of who it is. She’s Here Gurgaon belongs to that category. A modern Japanese restaurant in Sector 27, Gurugram, it comes from the team behind the much-loved Call Me Ten, but this is not a sequel or an expansion built on familiarity alone. This is an evolution, sharper in focus, more assured in its pacing, and designed for a city that knows what it likes. Th

There is a certain hour in Gurugram when the city finally exhales. Offices empty out, traffic loosens its grip, and the skyline begins to glow instead of glare. Vicoli arrives precisely for that moment. Located on Golf Course Road, Vicoli is a European-inspired social dining destination that understands how days soften into evenings, and how meals are rarely just about food. The name Vicoli comes from the Italian word for small streets, the narrow alleyways where Europe’s soc
