Rupali Dean

Dangerously seductive and persistently chic, this high-gloss DLF promenade rendezvous is a graceful king protea for Delhi’s Swanky crowd? The brand-new restaurant’s exceptional projections, illustrating the numerous seasons of the country, delicate colours of the walls and the glowing laser cut panels are sure to touch your senses as you guzzle the visuals while pampering in some astonishingly urbane turn on old-style Japanese Izakaya style of relaxed eating and drinking.

The kitchen turns out unconventional versions of authentically flavoured dishes: a line-up of impeccable dishes with pin-sharp flavours and oh-so-pretty add-ons. High-quality ingredients shine in everything from the dressed-to-impress sushi platters, to signatures such as Tuna Pizza with freshly shaved truffles and Nori Crusted Salmon Steak.

The essential section replete with a range of Robatayaki skewers cooked over hot coals to ensure distinct smoky flavours, stand out particularly for their unique preparation and scrumptious seasonings. A true A-lister.

All in all, the experience goals to transport you to the lanes of Tokyo for a few meals or several! Kampai’s younger sibling gets top marks for pizzazz and appeal, for the theatre of viewing chefs at the robata grill, and for immaculate cooking.

Excellent cocktails and a hip vibe make this a brilliant all-rounder. As you sip these concoctions the stunning projections of the Tokyo skyline and beautiful elements from Japan at the larger-than-life bar transport you to modern day Japan and its unique culture.  Do not miss trying the Samurai comprising of Gin, Jasmine and Lemon along with Kampai classics such as Kampai Bellini, Blushing Geisha and Shinjuku Star.

The name resonates its synthesis of Japanese and western cuisine, with Kampai denotation ‘cheers’ in Japanese. The menu is harmoniously refined, featuring a widespread diversity of dishes served on attractive plates validating contemporary Japanese cuisine with a stoop on old-style Izakaya-style dining. One of the pinnacles is the outstanding range of cocktails and premium liquors, which are dexterously poured and paired with the signature dishes.
