There is never a dull day when it comes to new fine-dine and restaurant openings in Delhi-NCR. The city’s newest luxe culinary spots have moved beyond just serving the most indulgent dishes in picture-perfect interiors. They are digging deeper into the narrative of luxe dining by harking on locally sourced ingredients, fusion cuisines, and roping in celebrated chefs who have worked in Michelin star restaurants and are featured in Netflix shows- all to tease the taste buds of the discern gourmands.
From restaurants that blend the East and the West with Indo-European fusions, those emphasising India’s rich culinary heritage, to the ones that pay ode to Punjabi home kitchens and the ones with the most stunning dining views where time stops while savouring, here’s a curated the list of new spots to visit in August.
