A Palette for the Palate

Be it a romantic date, a lazy family lunch, or a lively brunch with friends, Arts Room captures that rare blend of chic style and effortless comfort. This is not just another Delhi dining spot — it’s an experience where artful ambience meets imaginative cuisine, and every visit feels like stepping into a space where creativity is plated just as beautifully as it’s displayed.

Where Art Shapes the Appetite

Walk into Arts Room and you realise immediately that its concept stands apart. The walls aren’t just decorated — they’re curated, and the art on display directly inspires the menu. Both evolve periodically, keeping the space dynamic and ensuring that regulars always have something new to discover. Dining here feels immersive, almost like being part of a living gallery where flavours and visuals converse.

Plates That Surprise

The globally inspired menu is playful yet thoughtful, delivering unexpected twists on familiar flavours.

One of the most talked-about creations is the teeka masala on toast — a fun reimagination of Delhi’s beloved chicken tikka masala, now perched atop buttery brioche. Tomato cream, pickled onions, roasted chicken cubes, and a ring of crispy pork skin add layers of texture and intrigue.

Another standout is the quinoa tartare salad, tossed not in the typical vinaigrette but in kanji, the spicy fermented winter favourite, lending tang and warmth in every bite.

Vegetarians will relish the zucchini hasselback, heightened with chilli crisp, lentil miso, crackling spinach, and cranberry walnut salsa — a thoughtful balance of earthiness and zing. For meat lovers, the Manhattan pizzetta delivers pure comfort: molten cheese, tender meat, and pillowy dough in every mouthful.

Desserts to Linger Over

Dessert at Arts Room leans minimal yet indulgent. The tableside tiramisu brings playful theatrics with its generous pour of coffee liqueur, while the true scene stealers arrive at the end — Cointreau- and Laphroaig-filled truffles that melt decadently on the palate.

Cocktails on Canvas

The bar is a visual and sensory highlight. Each drink channels a celebrated artwork, such as F.N. Souza’s “Goan Rains” or Frida Kahlo’s “The Two Fridas.” The Kahlo-inspired cocktail blends whiskey, dark chocolate, and Mexican chilli — bold, moody, and complex, much like the painting itself. For non-drinkers, zero-proof options ensure the experience remains inclusive and elevated.

A Space That Balances Chic & Comfort

Velvet upholstery, soft lighting, and golden accents create a luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere. High ceilings lend privacy to indoor dining, while the sunlit outdoor terrace is perfect for brunch. A quaint patisserie at the entrance adds a breezy charm — ideal for a coffee date or a quiet solo moment.

Final Word

Arts Room is where food, art, and ambience meet in perfect harmony. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner, a long family meal, a stylish brunch, or a quick patisserie break, it delivers a blend of sophistication and warmth that is rare to find — a true palette for every palate.
