Gurugram: Bringing the elegance of royal Indian feasts into a contemporary dining space, Singh Sahib continues its journey of reviving ceremonial Indian hospitality without radically altering traditional cuisine.

Founded in 2015 by restaurateur Anil Kumar, the brand first opened in Dwarka, New Delhi, where the concept of royal-inspired dining began to take shape. The Gurugram outpost marks a natural evolution — larger in scale, more intricate in detailing, and refined in execution.

Built around the philosophy “Singh Sahib – Where Royalty Feasts Again,” the restaurant draws inspiration from two historic traditions: the valiant Singhs (Maharajas) and the cultured Sahibs (Nawabs). Symbolised by the harmony of the sun and moon, the concept blends strength with sophistication, aiming to recreate the grandeur once associated with royal courts.

Old-World Grandeur in a Contemporary Setting

The interiors establish a measured and composed tone. A palette of soft terracotta and muted rose hues defines the space, complemented by plush seating and arched niches reminiscent of palace architecture. Handcrafted details and painted floral ceilings subtly reference royal aesthetics without overwhelming the senses.

Warm ambient lighting and textured finishes create an inviting atmosphere, encouraging guests to linger over unhurried meals — a quiet nod to the leisurely pace of traditional royal dining.

Rooted in Regional Flavours

The menu remains grounded in regional Indian cuisine, offering familiar flavours with restrained contemporary interpretation.

Starters such as Bhunna Bhutta Shorba and Moradabadi Dal ki Chaat reinterpret comfort dishes with subtle refinement. The Singh Special Dahi Bhalla and Channa Two Ways focus on balance and texture.

The kebab selection includes vegetarian options like Dhingri Singhada Seekh and Nadru Makhane ki Galouti, alongside non-vegetarian dishes such as Murgh Bemisal and Coorgi Chicken. Main course offerings range from Gucchi Malai Matar and Karari Bhindi Masala to robust preparations like Peshawari Murgh Kadhai and the Rajasthani classic Laal Maas.

Desserts conclude the experience with timeless favourites such as Khubani ka Meetha, presented in a straightforward yet satisfying style.

The cocktail menu complements the cuisine with colour-inspired blends, drawing subtle references to royal courts while embracing contemporary mixology techniques.

Tradition with Accessibility

Rather than reinventing Indian cuisine, Singh Sahib focuses on reviving its ceremonial elegance. The Gurugram expansion reflects the brand’s commitment to presenting heritage in a format suited to present-day diners.

In doing so, the restaurant offers more than a meal — it delivers a curated experience that bridges royal culinary traditions with modern hospitality sensibilities.
