Refined Japanese flavours, inventive cocktails, and Tokyo-style flair come alive in Delhi’s newest modern izakaya.
Delhi’s growing fascination with Japanese cuisine has brought many new eateries into the spotlight, but few manage to strike the balance between authenticity and innovation quite like Call Me Ten. Tucked inside the bustling Basant Lok Market in Vasant Vihar, this contemporary izakaya delivers the essence of Tokyo dining with effortless style and precision.

A Space That Evolves With the Day
Spread across two thoughtfully designed levels, Call Me Ten shifts its personality as the day unfolds.
• Level 0 — Calm & Minimalist
The lower floor channels Japanese simplicity: clean lines, warm wood, and a serene setting perfect for slow afternoons, specialty coffee, and relaxed meals.
• Level 1 — Bold, Immersive & Electric
As night falls, the restaurant transforms. Neon-lit accents, moody lighting, and a high-energy buzz set the tone. The highlight is the Omakase bar — an intimate corner where chefs craft plates with artful precision while guests enjoy the theatre of dining.

Cocktails That Tell a Story
Call Me Ten’s bar program is a standout, weaving technique with storytelling.
Zen – A vodka-sake infusion layered with berries and passionfruit. Fresh yet complex, it captures the calm sophistication of its name.
Ninjin Suppai – Crafted with Reposado tequila, this cocktail brings surprising depth and brightness in every sip.
Our Sour – A warm, aromatic blend of whisky and mulled wine, perfect for lovers of rich, comforting flavours.
Each drink feels intentional — a blend of Japanese finesse and Delhi’s evolving cocktail culture.
Flavours Worth Savouring
The food menu presents Japanese comfort dishes through a modern, elevated lens.
Prawns and Orange Zest Gyoza
Delicately charred, juicy inside, and brightened with a hint of citrus. Familiar yet refined.

A luxurious plate where fresh salmon meets orange and truffle — indulgent, silky, and beautifully balanced.

Deep, umami-packed broth, springy noodles, and tender chicken come together in a bowl that is pure, soul-soothing comfort.
To end on a sweet note, the Japanese Honey Butter Toast — crisp, buttery, warm, and topped with ice cream — is nothing short of addictive.

With its inventive mixology, thoughtful design, and elegant reimagining of Japanese flavours, Call Me Ten is more than a restaurant — it’s a sensory journey. Sophisticated yet welcoming, it brings the spirit of modern Tokyo to the heart of Delhi, offering an experience that changes with every hour of the day.
