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.
