Into the City

Six restaurants you must head to this season.

Well-travelled foodies today are constantly looking out for novel dining experinces in the city. Armed with curiosity and a thirst for experimenting, they are inspiring restaurateurs and chefs to push their boundaries to introduce revolutionary food concepts. And that's where Bo Tai, a first-of-its-kind modern Thai bar and grill steps in with panache. From the house of Massive Restaurants by Jiggs Kalra, this restaurant is the brainchild of Zorawar Kalra, Dildeep Kalra and Chef Sahil Singh (of Pa Pa Ya fame) and so it's no surprise that the food and plating, besides the gorgeous interiors, are sure stunner. Head here for a culinary journey through the many unexplored authentic flavours of Thai cuisine that Chef Shail brings to the table.

First Look The restaurant has been designed by an award-winning Japanese architect to exude subtle panache. With a view of the Qutub Minar, the space spells modern-chic from the minute you enter. Thirst Quenchers Tradition is the name of the game when it comes to their cocktails. Crafted using authentic Thai ingredients, these boozy drinks are perfect for summer days. We loved Bangkok Boulevard made with whisky, housemade tropical vermouth, honey, lime and sparkling wine.

Love Bites One of the best carpaccios in town—the scallop with lime, chillies and Rambutan sorbet is an inspired dish full of sassy flavours, and the grilled jumbo prawns with cream of yellow curry is deliciously divine. If you are a Thai food lover, opt for the chef's tasting menu to truly experience Thai cuisine at its best.
