Restaurants To Visit For Valentine’s Day
Mezze Mambo, New Delhi
Delhi’s much-loved Mediterranean restaurant has launched a special V-Day menu for you guys and may we say, it features mouth-watering dishes. Think Shroom Hummus which is a fresh take on the classic hummus. A big part of Mediterranean cuisine is salsa and salad—if you can’t pick between the both then they have Ezme Burrata which pairs Rose Za’atar-crusted Burrata with a tangy Turkish Ezme. And for dessert, we highly recommend the Vanilla & Strawberry Cheesecake. Another decadent treat would be the Strawberries & Cream Sundae comprising Bailey’s gelato.

Is your first date on the same day tomorrow? May we recommend you hit up Sixteen33 to break the ice with their exquisite cocktails? The people at Sixteen33 recommend, Be My Martini—a classic featuring gin, dry vermouth and strawberry brine. There is also Love in Italy, a tasty apple-cranberry-infused vodka. Pair it with Valentine's Watermelon & Feta Salad and Crispy Prawns Kataifi which is equal parts bold and flavorful, and certainly packs a punch.
