Indulge in culinary adventures at these new dining spots in Mumbai, Delhi, Goa, and Hyderabad

Foodie or not, you shouldn't have to limit your options when it comes to dining out. As strong believers in the adage ‘variety is the spice of life’, we advocate peppering all dining experiences with unique flavours and diverse cuisine. And that's exactly why we have curated a list of the best spots to dine at (or order in) in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Goa, and Hyderabad.

Camillo’s Pizzeria, Delhi

Housed in the exquisite The Manor in New Delhi, Camillo’s Pizzeria will win you over with its classic Neapolitan pizzas. And if that doesn't cut it for you, their extensive menu featuring a selection of pastas and salads (‘The Manor’ Ceasar is especially excellent) will leave you spoilt for choice.

Si Nonna, Mumbai

Satiate your pizza cravings with Si Nonna’s Neapolitan pizzas crafted using a 500-year-old Italian baking secret. You can choose from a variety of sourdough crust pizzas and enjoy traditional recipes with a side of nostalgia

Sienna Café, Kolkata

You cannot deny that the burst of flavours that traditional regional cuisines treat you with are incomporable. And the popularity of Sienna Café is a case in point. Here, you can enjoy the comforting flavours of Bengali cuisine with authentic dishes like malai chingri, kolmi shaak, and the humble shukto. The food pays homage to the foundation of West Bengal and the celebrated cooking methods practised in the region.

Smoke House Deli, Delhi

A well-known eatery, Smoke House Deli’s vintage European cafe-inspired ambience makes it the perfect spot for a lazy brunch. The special menu concists of re-imagined European food featuring an assortment of pancakes, charcuteries, and more. Pair it with a refreshing drink and you have the perfect recipe for a relaxed weekend.

The Sanctuary Bar & Kitchen, Goa

Helmed by MasterChef Australia finalist, Sarah Todd, The Sanctuary Bar & Kitchen boasts a menu that marries robust global flavours with Indian ingredients and recipes—think dishes like chilli tomato prawn pasta with balchão paste, paneer hara masala tart, and a pepper chicken taco with a curry leaf mayo among others.

Lavonne  Café, Delhi

Lavonne Café recently opened its doors to the residents of Delhi. The restaurant’s interiors echo a minimalistic vibe—that definitely won’t distract you from your food—with croissant-shaped lights, making it the perfect place for viennoiserie fans. Their fresh buttery croissants, fluffy omelettes, and a host of artisanal baked goods are all worth a try!

Mezze Mambo, Delhi

Calling all history fans! This modern Mediterranean mezze restaurant in Delhi pays homage to the cuisines of the regions falling on the Silk Route, from the Northern Frontiers to the Middle East. Do try the Mediterranean version of guacamole called gazan guac, spicy lamb mince pide, and the jackfruit kebab for a vegetarian delight. The restaurant uses time-honoured techniques to create a menu that crafts a narrative curated through flavours, textures, and aroma.

Tres, Delhi

Tres, with its lip-smacking European cuisine, has emerged as a popular fine-dining spot. The fare gives you a taste of global dishes while using indigenous produce and pleasing the spice-loving Indian palate. We recommend their pan-seared scallops with chilli lime pearls, double cooked chicken breast with porcini and herb morel sauce, and the classic Trés crème brulée for dessert!

Pepe Rosa, Kolkata

Kolkata’s Ho Chi Minh Sarani got a new fine-dine addition with Pepe Rosa. Despite the restaurant’s beautiful interiors complete with contemporary Roman art and plush seating, their wood-fired oven is the first thing you notice. Pair your favourite Italian dish with an exquisite bottle of wine, courtesy of their bar '50 Shades of Wine' or a refreshing coffee cocktail, if bubbly and energetic is the vibe you are going for.

Ishaara, Bengaluru

Ishaara’s menu is one of the many things you’ll love about the restaurant. The establishment is run by employees with hearing and speech impairment, and encourages guest to converse in sign language. Borrowing from many regional cuisines, the Indian menu here includes everything from the tangy chaats of the north to the subtle flavours of the south.

Freny’s, Mumbai

An intimate all-day diner and bar led by Chef Freny Fernandes, Freny’s in Bandra reflects the chef’s East Indian roots, celebrating her heritage with nostalgic curations. From indulgent fugiyas to East Indian-influenced Indyal tacos, the dishes are prepared with seasonal local ingredients sourced from her mother’s farm. Not forgetting their indulgent brunch offerings inspired by New York’s vibrant culture—waffle benedict, cookie dough pancakes, and more. Be sure to try the creme brulee French toast and the viral 'Matilda Cake'.

Spicy Rika, Delhi

Boasting an assorted menu of Thai delicacies, Spicy Rika is a cloud kitchen that champions Thai flavours like no other eatery! It features everything from a flavourful tom yum soup and the ever-comforting green curry, to pad Thai and basil chicken. Seal the deal with the tub tim grob, a sweet and creamy Thai dessert comprising fresh fruits served in sweetened coconut milk.

Sārvaa, Goa

Sārvaa prides itself in offering an extensive selection of coastal cuisine; if you’re a seafood fan, you can expect a truly wholesome feast here. Pair your meal with a cocktail (or a few) made with ingredients native to the state like the chorizo oil-washed cocktail or the coconut jaggery-infused negroni.

Bon-Fiction, Hyderabad

Those who have an unfailing love for chocolate are probably familiar with Bon-Fiction. The beloved craft chocolate brand opened its new flagship store in Hyderabad and promises an indulgent experience. From sampling some of the finest chocolates in the world to trying out the newest flavours of Bon Fiction’s exquisite chocolates, a trip here would be no less than a trip to chocolate heaven!
