Float - a day and night pub in Park Royal Hotel

Delhi's trendy people are always looking for a good place to jive, enjoy their drinks, shake a leg and have a good time. Float, located in the Park Royal Intercontinental Hotel in Delhi's Nehru Place area is a good place to do that. The pub is a day and night pub that operates as a dance floor, as a restaurant, as a cigar enjoying joint (in a special glass enclosure), and as a pub. With all this, and with a great ambiance, including an open kitchen, you can be sure that this pub is popular, and it sure is.
The restaurant here has cuisines from all over the world, starting with some great starters in the form of Nachos, starters from Indonesia, Italian Bruchetta, Lebanese starters such as hummus, falafel with pita bread, Chicken Nuggets, and many others. And of course, vegetarians have a great variety available in the form of Chili Mushrooms, many Chinese starters, Paneer starters, etc. And if you are there for lunch, you get some great food in the form of some great Italian Pasta (where you can select from the different types of sauces, herbs, and other ingredients and get the pasta made exactly as you want). Then there are other Italian stuff such as pizza, lasagna; and of course, you can get some great wine.
And as for the desert, enjoy some great desert, with cheesecake (made in a unique way and very delicious).

Kuki, the trendy bar in Greater Kailash 2

Kuki suddenly came into the celebrity news when it got reported that Karishma's husband had taken Kareena and Saif Ali Khan to the pub, and when a photographer tried to take their photos, his camera had all the photos deleted. But leaving aside this juicy tidbit, Kuki has gathered some name as a trendy place to be in, a welcome addition to Delhi's nightlife; it now brings in a fair number of the rich and famous, and the happening people. Most people find the decor of the club - large butterflies (in red) suspended from the ceiling, and not limited to that; they are like the motif for the club, being imprinted on the uniform of waiters, present on the walls, and even on the coasters.
Like many other places (or maybe to give competition), Wednesday is the ladies night at Kuki, and like most other nightclubs, the weekends are the most busy. The good part is that this is a 3 storey establishment, so if you can't squeeze in on the ground floor, then move to the first floor. The DJ console is also located on the first floor, and is manned by the owner, DJ Rummmy on Thursday.
The place can be a bit on the expensive side, with the excellent cocktails costing around Rs. 300-450 (but not too expensive when you consider that most places with a similar reputation and decor would cost around the same or maybe more). The place itself has got good service, and maintains an air that would keep you coming back for more.

Location: Greater Kailash- next to Smoke House Grill and Imperial Garden

Delhi Eating: Tabula Rasa restaurant in Saket

This is a brand new lounge and restaurant, located on the top of the Square One Mall in Saket District Center, behind Marriott Hotel. It is the newest hip and trendy place in Delhi (owners Rohan Gupta, 29, and Sohrab Sitaram, 31, both of them with experience in the restaurant business) bringing in a large number of people everyday to come and enjoy the place. Of course, it is fairly pricey, a meal for 2 will cost roughly Rs. 2500-3000 (which makes it a very expensive place). The name of the restaurant means 'Clean Slate' in Latin, although I did not see any special significance to the name.
It offers both outdoor and indoor seating, with a good ambience even on the open terrace where outdoor seating exists. And those worried about the Delhi weather can be less worried, since the place has heating in winter and a cooling effect in summer. The staff is polite and helpful.
The restaurant has the concept of the tapas lounge bar, and tried to put an environment where people can relax and have a great time. There is music, but no dancing.
The restaurant has 2 specialties, both of them international. It stars a menu driven from all over the world, with dishes from places as diverse as Vietnam, Moldavia, part inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, Eastern; also liquor and cocktails driven from all over the world. The other international touch is that it is trying out the concept of serving smaller plates, so that you can try more stuff, and get to sample more of the cuisine for the same price. In addition, the restaurant tries to catch onto getting more ladies by having a Wednesday Ladies Special with unlimited cocktails between 9 and 11 PM.

The restaurant is open from 12:30 in the afternoon to midnight.

Roshnara Bagh (Garden), Club and Tomb

Seems strange to mention a garden, a club, and a tomb in the same place, but this is exactly what Roshanara Bagh, located in North Delhi is. Easily reachable, near the North University, it is reachable by going to Kamla market, from there to the Clock Tower and then the Roshnara Road.
So what is the Roshanara Garden all about? Well, it is a very old garden, constructed by the younger daughter of Shah Jahan, Roshanara in 1650. She helped her brother, Aurangzeb in the fight for the Mughal throne with Dara Shikoh, and was his favourite sister for a long time. However, things change and she was poisoned in 1671 on Aurangzeb's orders, and buried in the garden.
Her grave is right in the middle of the garden, called the Baradari. Right now, it is not in a well maintained condition, but it used to be a simple roofless grave surrounded by carved marble screens, and a big hall with lots of beautiful paintings. The British really liked the garden due its location amongst the greenery of the Ridge, and made some alterations in 1875 to substantially make the place more open. In 1923, the Roshanara Club was opened, which is a fairly exclusive club, and not open by default to everybody; only to members and their guests.
