The Darzi Bar and Kitchen is one of those upscale theme based café/restaurants located in the outer circle of Connaught Place. By the name itself, it could give you a pretty good idea of the theme it is based on. Everything right from the entrance to the table, handle locks and wall décor everything has a tailor’s shop resemblance. You have a live DJ with a huge open bar and high chairs. Looking at the interior, your expectation towards food also goes up, and The Darzi has stood up to it. Coming to the menu we had here, the list goes long, as we could not miss out on anything.

A piece of lamb with an authentic gravy that had rich flavours and texture to it. It stood like a masterpiece. The gravy and the lamb pieces were well cooked, and it had that distinct flavour to it.
Veg Biryani

Shahi Tukda
This whole lot of meal had to end with dessert, and never the less Shahi tukda was on our list. A muffin with saffron milk, choco chips, mint and ice cream.
