Marut Sikka runs Kainoosh in Vasant Kunj and is one of Delhi’s most successful upmarket wedding caterers. So, it is intriguing that he broke away from his money-spinning businesses to launch this casual restaurant dedicated to serving the best dishes from India’s clubs. The menu sources all kinds of cuisines from superlative ‘nano’ idlis to a wonderful twice-cooked cheese soufflé, all of which are credited to the menu of one club or the other. You don’t have to care too much about the provenance of each dish to recognize that this is excellent food, overseen by Sikka himself and cooked to the high standards that he is famous for. The room, on the ground floor of the new Sangam complex, is a cheerful re-invention of what a club bar should look like, service is swift and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for food of this quality.
