Tesla in Aerocity
The Future Rolls Into Delhi

Worldmark 3 in Aerocity is now home to Tesla’s second Indian showroom, launched on 11th August. More than just a display centre, it’s an experience hub where you can step inside the sleek cabins, swipe through futuristic dashboards, and immerse yourself in Tesla’s tech wizardry. While full-scale deliveries in India are still unfolding, the showroom is already a magnet for car enthusiasts, influencers, and anyone who wants to casually drop “I test-drove a Tesla this weekend.”
Long Bar
Green Park’s Luxe New Hideout

Green Park’s latest gem, Addonis, is designed like the chic living room of your coolest friend, but with a kitchen and bar team that know exactly what they’re doing. Al-fresco dining under soft lights gives it a breezy European vibe, while upstairs, the Long Bar ups the ante with speakeasy-inspired cocktails. Think smoky old fashioneds, floral gin concoctions, and an atmosphere that walks the line between laid-back and luxe. If you’re looking for a spot that feels intimate but also high-profile enough for Delhi’s social circuit, Addonis is already on the A-list.
Vinci Emporio
The Carbonara Destination

Pasta purists, rejoice. The team behind Café Dali and Ristorante Dali has added another feather to their cap with Vinci Emporio at DLF Emporio. The restaurant is all about authenticity, with the Roman-style carbonara with Pecorino already becoming its signature. Expect handmade pasta, a curated wine list, and interiors that feel more Milan than Delhi. If you’ve been craving Italian that goes beyond pizza clichés, Vinci is where you’ll want to linger.
Madam Chow
Chinese With a View

On September 4th, The Oberoi, Gurgaon, unveiled Madam Chow, a modern Chinese restaurant that’s already being whispered about in foodie circles. Helmed by celebrated chefs Wong Kwai Wah and Mark Lin, the restaurant blends tradition with innovation in a dramatic setting: a glass pavilion overlooking a reflective pool. Expect classic dim sum, delicate hand-pulled noodles, and signature dishes that play with bold flavours without losing authenticity. The ambience alone makes it one of the most striking new openings in the NCR.
Shift GGN
A Coffee Date in Gurgaon Gets an Upgrade

At The Boulevard, Sector 59, Gurgaon, a new café has everyone talking. Shift GGN blends European café culture with Delhi’s caffeine obsession. The menu is an eclectic mix Vietnamese cold brew for coffee snobs, indulgent mocha frappés for sweet-tooths, and the must-try Katsu Chicken Sand for anyone who appreciates a solid bite. The interiors are minimal but cosy, making it equally ideal for a laptop session or a lingering date. Average spend ? About Rs. 1,500 for two, but the vibe ? Priceless.
Suneet Varma
Fashion Royalty in Delhi

For couture lovers, this September also brings a touch of sparkle. Designer Suneet Varma known for his glamorous, architectural designs has unveiled not one but two flagship stores. At DLF Emporio, the boutique reflects modern luxury with a focus on red-carpet-ready couture, while the Mehrauli store at Kutub Boulevard channels heritage charm. Both are destinations, not just shops where browsing sequinned saris and structured gowns feels like an event in itself.
Refuge
GK’s New Playground for Cocktail Lovers

Greater Kailash 2’s M Block Market has a brand-new reason to stay up late. Refuge, which opened its doors on September 1st, is designed to feel like your safe space but with a mischievous edge. The ground floor is intimate, almost meditative, perfect for a quiet dinner, while the upstairs is where the real party unfolds. At its heart is a 42-foot-long bar (yes, forty-two), where mixologists are reimagining cocktails with a global lens. Expect classics with playful twists, small plates designed for sharing, and interiors that strike a balance between minimalism and warmth. Refuge isn’t just a bar it’s a new ritual for the GK crowd.
Street Burger by Gordon Ramsay
The Hell’s Kitchen Experience Lands in Delhi

The king of sharp one-liners and Michelin stars has arrived. Gordon Ramsay’s first Indian outpost, Street Burger, opened on 22nd August at IGI Airport’s Terminal 1, and it’s already stealing the spotlight from duty-free shopping. The menu is cheeky, indulgent, and very Gordon: the fiery Hell’s Kitchen Burger comes loaded with spice and sass, the GFC (Gordon’s Fried Chicken) burger is comfort food with a swagger, and the Tandoori Paneer Burger is a nod to local palates without losing the brand’s international flair. Throw in perfectly seasoned fries, creamy shakes, and a fast-casual vibe, and you’ve got the kind of airport pit stop that makes you wish your flight was delayed.
Kona Sando Shop
Tokyo in GK-2

If you know, you know: the Japanese are obsessed with sandos pillowy milk bread sandwiches stacked with deceptively simple yet incredibly satisfying fillings. GK-2’s new Kona Sando Shop is the first to bring this cult Tokyo trend to Delhi. On the menu? A dreamy egg salad sando, glossy and rich, a crunchy chicken katsu sando with tangy sauce, and a bold spicy tofu sando for the adventurous. Pair them with a matcha latte or cold brew, and you’ve got the kind of meal that’s perfect for both a quick solo lunch and a café-hopping Instagram post.
Dumbo Deli
Meherchand Market’s Day-to-Night Darling

Meherchand Market is about to get a major upgrade with Dumbo Deli, opening this September. By day, it’s a light-filled sandwich-and-coffee shop, serving up Florentine coffee and gourmet bites. By night, it flips into a dive bar with a cheeky edge, serving cocktails like the Espresso Martini and the buzzy White Negroni. It’s the kind of two-in-one space Delhi has been missing casual enough for a daytime catch-up, but moody enough for late-night conversations.

This month’s launches prove that Delhi is never done reinventing itself.
