Eccentric out-of-the-box brand names is the mantra now days when you see around you for any good bar or restaurant. You suddenly notice quirky brand names and an equally crazy décor to go with it, as a way to attract diners. The crazier the better. After doing their bit with jungle themes or heaven & hell themes or even schoolroom theme, New Delhi has added another quirk to its glittery drinking scene with a tailor-themed bar called ‘The Darzi Bar & Kitchen’. Yes, you got it right! A TAILOR themed bar! If you are as hooked like us just by the name then that calls for a visit. You will find the bar located in H Block, on the first floor at Outer Circle in Connaught Place, New Delhi. Go and be entranced.
One thing you will come back raving about after your stint at Darzi Bar & Kitchen is their food. They certainly know what they are talking about. Get ready to dive into a smorgasbord of North Indian and European dishes, prepared excellently by a very talented chef. A glass of sangria comes highly recommended, just to give that happy buzz. Otherwise, try an eye blinker. Tuck into an array of appetizers alongside like, patthar kebab, fish fingers, cheesy spinach mushroom, quesadilla, pomfret polli chattu, batata vada, grilled rum chicken, mutton gilafi seekh and clotted curd croquettes. Their selection of mains is just as fantastic. Munch on, jazzed up burger, pasta in vodka pink sauce, sabz lababdar pizza, baida roti, Darzi mutton curry, malai chicken pizza, pasta arrabiatta, double fist burger, paneer butter masala and kerela fish curry.
With a basket of buttery naans (try fig-chilly) and stuffed paranthas, mop up the spicy curries. The section of Master Ji’s all day nashta puts out all-day breakfast items like, nihari kulcha, darzi ka dabba and Marathi poha sheera, which is worth looking into. Their dessert menu deserves your immediate attention. Darzi ki gullak, Dilli mieulle fueille, roti ‘churma’ pie, sutarfeni ‘mango’ cheesecake and shahi tukda croquants, will be a divine indulgence. Décor is a glorified tailor shop that spans across two floors, including a charming terrace section. A treasure trove of tailor-themed curios calls for your attention. A wall of drawers, shelves of stitching machines, thread art, cassette shaped tabletops uplifts the interiors. Stylish comfortable seating and a well-lit chic ambience sums up The Darzi Bar & Kitchen.
