Delhi’s culinary scene has a brand new entrant – Akra. Nestled within the coronary heart of the town, Lajpat Nagar, Akra blends fashionable magnificence with a touch of nature – a fusion of stylish and cosy. As I stepped into the restaurant, I used to be taken in by a kaleidoscope of colors. The institution’s identify, “Akra,” is derived from the Marathi phrase for “number 11,” which displays the restaurant’s mission to revolutionise the eating and leisure expertise, embracing individuals from all walks of life and ages.

The 2-floor restaurant has a spacious indoor seating space, designed to accommodate a big group for all types of occasions. However, it was the terrace space that I beloved. Adorned with vibrant, spunky furnishings and cosy cabanas, the terrace exuded a modernistic appeal. I opted for a cosy spot underneath a cabana as I launched into my gastronomic journey.

The large bar on the terrace was lined up with a spread of spirits. The Tommy’s Margarita, a refreshing concoction of tequila complemented by zesty lemon and candy agave, gave the right begin to the night. Equally pleasant was the Floral Taste Buds, a fascinating mix of vodka infused with hibiscus, lavender, star anise, and chamomile tea, leading to a riot of beautiful flavours. The Rejuvenating Potion, a tequila-based cocktail lived as much as its identify and offered a rejuvenating burst of tasteful goodness.

The meals did not disappoint both. I extremely advocate making an attempt Thai-style Spicy Poached Wonton. The tom yum broth had eclectic Thai flavours and the wontons have been steamed to perfection and melted within the mouth with its font of juiciness. The bowl was cleaned inside minutes.

Next, I attempted Chipotle & Basil Malai Chicken Tikkka which wasn’t dangerous however not nice both. I wanted the rooster was extra succulent with a greater mixture of flavours that complemented one another. Nevertheless, the Greek Pizza labored up my urge for food once more with the freshness of arugula and creaminess of mozzarella together with feta cheese, veggies and tomatoes. But one of the best was but to return.

A easy dish like Penne Arabiata turned out to be so particular that it made for one of the best dish of the meal. The pasta had simply the correct amount of cheese, spices and tanginess from the sauce. I’ll positively order it once more on my subsequent go to.

Akra generally is a great spot for a enjoyable outing with pals in a full of life setting. The drinks are nice and the meals is respectable sufficient to not make you remorse your go to.
