5 Reasons We Love Whisky Samba!

Two horizon’s by far poshest bar has many a flex to choose from, making it your go-to Friday night drinkery. From the twinkling skyward bar offering around 180 different types of whisky and whisky-based cocktails to the carefully curated eclectic menu, Whisky Samba never ceases to impress and thrill its patrons. Here’s a list of the 5 top reasons that keep me coming back here ever so often.

The Cocktails

It’s a perpetually cocktail hour here at all times! With an array of alcoholic tipples on their menu that are like a punch in the face with a velvet-gloved hand, you can never go wrong with a cocktail here if you are neat whisky shy. And to top it all off it is not just the whisky cocktails that steal the show, they have exceptional gin and other white spirits cocktails as well.

Must-try: The signature ‘Boarding Pass’ (whisky, bitters, ginger ale, and orange), Berry Gin and Tonic (gin, fresh berries, citrus, rosemary, tonic), Fruit and Spice Fizz (plum, galangal, citrus, mint, Campari, fizz, vodka).

The Sushi

The excellent quality of sushi on their menu was more than a pleasant surprise, especially at a whisky/ cocktail bar. The sushi is served aptly cold at the right temperature and the cuts of fish melt in your mouth, this is obviously attributed to the superior knife skills of the chef preparing your food.

Must-try: Crispy Tuna Roll, Samba Special Smoked Roll with Tuna and Salmon, Crispy Avocado Roll.

The Oriental Curries

Now I know some of you might be rolling your eyes at ordering a curry at a bar. However, the Asian curries on their menu are something flavorful and hearty that you can delve into on a boozy evening.

Must try: Red Duck Curry, Lamb Massaman Curry, Spinach & Water Chestnut Curry.

The Ambiance

Did I mention the sky-high bar? I did, didn’t I?

No worries, I’ll mention it again! Towering above and spanning across the entire restaurant this is intimidating feature is also clearly the heartbeat of this place. You guessed it, the best place to sit is definitely at the chatoyant bar counter. Great place to see their expert mixologists work their magic. During the day the overall vibe leans more towards an airy brunch spot with loads of natural light streaming through the ceiling to floor glass panels. And towards the evening they transition smoothly to a more nightlife-centric, clubby atmosphere with ambient lighting and a live DJ.

The Whisky Selection

No, I did not forget to include the main feature.

This being the one and only exclusive whisky bar makes it one of the most unique restaurants in Delhi NCR. And trust me when I say the concept is no hollow gimmick! With an extensive whisky menu with around 180 fine malts to choose from, they cast their net wide when it comes to whisky lovers.

Must try: Dalwhinnie 15-Year-Old (Honey trap), Balvenie 14-Year-Old Caribbean Cask Whisky, Scapa Skiren Honey's Single Malt.
