Music is something that brings people together. It merges boundaries and is a great way to bond with someone or even get to know them intimately. Any music lover living in New Delhi eventually makes their way to ‘The Piano Man’, which is a funky little restaurant intensely passionate about music. This place is a treat for all music lovers and even brings out the foodie in you. If you always wanted to try out jazz clubs then The Piano Man will be perfect for you. The ambience is exactly like a retro jazz club and one keeps expecting to see a dapper man pick up his trumpet and start playing. Turn your next evening into a musical one by driving down to Safdarjung Enclave Market, just opposite deer park in South Delhi.
While you are taking pleasure in their musical live gigs, munch on a delectable array of Mexican and American delicacies from their menu. Complement them with a round of potent drinks. The Piano Man is known for it’s extensive range of booze labels. Wines, beers, rum, brandy, vermouth, cognac, vodka, gin, tequila and whiskies. Interesting thing is, each wine or cocktail type comes with a small read. Have a few nibbles from their lip-smacking menu starting with, stuffed mushroom nonya sauce, Korean nachos, somtam salad, bacon cheeseburger bombs, pepperoni rings, old monk sticky chicken wings, grilled jerk chicken, coconut prawns, pear & arugula flatbreads and zucchini fries. Go even further with their mains. Try, grilled lamb sliders, Vietnamese bahn-mi, the oinker pizza, red curry marinated grilled lamb chops, chicken changezi sliders, southeast Asian-style vegetable & nut butter stew and Thai pork rice bowl.
Let those smooth piano tunes flow over you and allow your palette the same magic by treating it to an array of delectable desserts. Have, banana Nutella calzone, hot chocolate fudge, waffles, orange & chili chocolate mousse, Nutella popsicles, lemon grass & kaffir lime scented crème brulee and lemonade & fresh fruit popsicles. Keep update with their event calendar and pop by when there is something happening. Interiors of The Piano Man are entirely different from your usual modern sleek haunts. The look is very old-fashioned and retro here, with wood paneled walls working beautifully with exposed brick walls. A stunning chandelier hangs in middle of the room, casting a bit of dim light. Vibe is retro, relaxed and masculine.
- The seating is spaced out over two levels, with the ground level acting as the venue for live music performances
- There is even a smoking space on the first level that is partitioned off from the rest of the dining and performance area
- The menu is not sprawling but there is a definite Asian slant to the restaurant’s food offerings
