There is no dearth of places in West Delhi where you can sip gallons of booze and enjoy some good grub along with it, Today, we are talking about one such restaurant which is now considered as a game changer in West Delhi. IKKA is undoubtedly one of those places where you can enjoy really economical booze, delectable food and soothing live performances by various renowned artists.
As soon as I entered the place it felt like a breath of fresh air. There are not too many properties in Rajouri Garden that is so huge and that can accommodate 300+ pax easily. The gigantic space was fully utilized and divided well by locating seating arrangements at different levels. The Brainchild of Mr Sanchit Aneja is spread across three floors – The Cave, The Studio and The terrace. Each three sections are poles apart from each other. The Cave is dedicated to a private and luxurious dining experience and is dominated by shades of golden and brown. While on other hand the Studio is a glimpse of the future. It is very smartly designed and the glam factor is given priority. Dominated by Red furniture, the place is a home to all happening events and live DJ sessions that patrons experience at IKKA. The last but not the least is there hug terrace area with chic furniture and lighting. It is an addition to the romantic element that places offers for people who love to dine under the shadows of stars.
Food Talks
They welcome you with GoluGolu Honolulu which is a complimentary dish for all the customers. Golgappe with filling of hummus and topped with chopped onions and tomatoes. It has a delightful taste and a remarkable balance of flavour. Tomato Basil Essence (INR 225) is a clear tomato soup with mild flavours, nothing overpowering and perfectly balanced sourness. Assorted Bruschetta (INR 275) is Served in two variants Tomato and Mushroom Ragout. Mushroom Ragout had an amazing flavour and Tomato one which was topped on a garlic bread had an earthy flavour and for me it is a party in the mouth kind of dish. Butter Chicken Spring Rolls (INR 345) is crunchy spring rolls which are filled with chunks of chicken and served along with the butter chicken gravy. An amazing Indo- Oriental fusion is being given to the dish. Spicy Idli (INR 225) is another fusion dish where South Indian Idli is being served with oriental sauce and tossed with mix vegetables. Soft, juicy and flavourful. Simply Wow!
For the mains we tried, The Mezze Platter (INR 475) the falafel balls were moist and it tasted equally good with the dips (hummus, babaganoush and tzatziki). The pita bread was fluffy and warm which gave us the hint of it’s freshness. Margherita Pizza was a thin and soft based, pizza with a generous amount of tomato sauce and ample cheese to give it that lingering cheesy taste. Subz biryani (INR 325)fresh vegetables cooked with brown onions, yogurt and mint with saffron flavored basmati rice, the biryani was mildly spiced and aromatic served in a beautiful dish.
End you meal either with Tiramisu (INR 245) or Gulab jamun with ice cream ( INR 245). Two opposite ends of a spectrum with the Gulab jamun with ice cream being sinfully sweet and nutty with the presence of almonds in it. The tiramisu on other end was having the distinct flavour of coffee and Kalhua.
In a nutshell, Just like Ikka holds the supreme position in the pack of playing cards, Ikka – the ace bar in Rajouri is gonna be standing tall among other joints in the location and beyond.
