HotMess

Nightlife is one thing of any city that decides its popularity and in that terms nothing comes even close to the nightlife of New Delhi. The city in itself is crammed with so many fantastic restaurants and pubs that you can’t help but be impressed. Connaught Place especially rules the roost with its cluster of trendy and hip joints that spans all across the locality. The hot location of course cannot be beaten but the charms of Connaught Place goes much beyond the setting. Counted amongst the top lounges to party in, ‘HotMess’ is a hopping popular spot favoured by the young party-hoppers. It’s situated in M Block of Middle Circle and is known for its stylish glamourous interiors and fun live gigs that keep happening every week. The ambience is lively, electric, chic and exhilarating.

Like any good lounge HotMess keeps a very encompassing menu, both booze and food wise. Some may find the place a little expensive but considering its swanky interiors and fabulous vibe, the price seems justified. North Indian, Mediterranean, Asian and American cuisine is tackled here with finesse. Their fun house concoctions penicillin, New York sour, mayday martini, organaponicus and voodoo eyes are yummy. As your first course tuck into, Philadelphia cheese roll, hot bean chicken, reshmi mushroom tikka, mutton chapli kebab, dahi kebab drumsticks, blended herb batter sole, nacho pencho, bourbon smoked honey chicken, Thai basil paneer, chicken malai tikka, golden garlic fish, gyoza and samosadilla with aam panna chutney. Main course is a heady mix of flaky pizzas, burgers, pita pocket sandwiches, pastas, grilled sole with LB sauce, Mexican chimichanga, braised lamb in red wine jus and an assortment of curries.

Tickle your taste buds next with their grand finale – desserts. Banoffee pie, tiramisu, lava croutons crunch cake, passion fruit cheese cake and red velvet & cream cheese brownie. Décor is another of HotMess’s strong points and is exactly how a trendy lounge should be. A wide spacious room flanked by series of carved screen windows lets the light in, flooding the room with a kaleidoscope of colours. As the evening falls the entire space transforms itself into a good-looking vibrant cocoon. Slip into a bright lavender coloured sofa with your drink and savour the peppy live music flowing in the background. The interiors of HotMess are sexy, stylish and trendy. Overall, HotMess is a perfect choice to enjoy the nightlife of Delhi.
