DKK

‘DKK’ at The Grand, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, restaurant was originally conceived as a coffee shop but was clearly designed to suit buffet requirements for in house guests and general footfall. They then turned the restaurant into an all day operation catering to the customers. The room itself is huge with high ceiling and more than enough space to function two restaurants. A glass wall on one side looks over the garden so the patrons get a tremendous view of the outdoors. It like practically sitting in the lush greenery. It’s not hard to guess which the best seat in the house is. They have tried to capture the minimalistic look in the interiors focusing on space and comfort. Easy sofas are placed all over the room highlighted by the tall date trees. Party of two to six can sit comfortably on one table. The space between the tables are enough to offer privacy and intimacy. A great place to hold business meetings and important dinners.
