    Fantastic cocktails, excellent bar staff that put huge effort into the drinks they serve. Exceptional food as well, while most Oriental places have started taking the dim sum route, what works here is the fantastic variety, both for vegetarians and non-vegetarians

    A part of the top 3 bars in Delhi and clearly can see why. For starters the music isn't extremely loud so you can actually have a conversation. There's enough light at the bar so you can actually see what you're eating or drinking. The staff is great, very polite and helpful. The cocktails of course look and taste brilliant. The food is worth going back for.

    We were four, the bill was about 24000. I think that has earned me a right to write a review. Lair is very near Perch. The staff is ok but slightly untrained. There was a problem with the shredded chicken and even the sushi was not upto the mark. Pretty much all food items except the sauteed chicken was sub par. The corona was flat but I had guests so I kept quiet. The ambiance and architecture of the place is fantastic. The toilet is unbearably smelly, the smoking zone is shady but convenient. The cocktails are good. We had 23 drinks and 14 food items so the bill is not bad. I would visit this place again but the food is disappointing man. The service guys served drinks fast but they must not serve faulty beer. Coronas flat is not fun. I may revisit lets see. One last thing - the music was 9/10 and also they didnt cancel 1-2 items we sent back. But its ok, I'll live.

    These folks have tried hard to create a mystical, forbidding, mysterious atmosphere and to some extent they have pulled it off at the lower level. The vibe is very underground nighyclubish there with a pretty competent DJ belting out some foot tapping music which, unfortunately, none of the patrons are paying heed to. In comparison, the upper levels feel like orphan child with quieter atmosphere and barebones decor. And what’s with that hostess at the front door turning away young people from entering claiming there is no place inside?! Come on Lair, make up your mind, do you wanna be a night club, a cocktail bar, a speakeasy or all of it? You know one size doesn’t fit all and you can’t be all things to all people.

    Definitely one of the best indian bars I've ever visited globally. Loved their cocktails as every drink had depth. They had me at truffle popcorn. Not a big fan of shots but theirs works. Very nice team of staff that were helpful, polite and friendly. This bar is an absolute must visit when in Delhi. Do make reservations via their phone.

    Lair is one of those places get the three main things right, drinks, food and atmosphere are all fantastic. The in-house cocktail program is top class with both visually stunning (instagrammable?) and incredibly tasty drinks. The food leans towards South East Asian / East Asian and they do it very well. After living in Malaysia for 6 years it's great to come to Lair for familiar flavours. Don't sleep on this place 🍹

    Some of the best cocktails I have had in Delhi. My two favourites were: The Garden Cocktail and Hibiscus & Bourbon. The food was good too especially the Lair Special Sushi, Laksa Prawn Risotto and the Stir Fried Morning Glory. Definitely going back to try more cocktails!!

    Extraordinary Cocktails, probably the best place for cocktails in delhi better than so many other higher rated places. They do tend to do go overboard with their garnishes but the cocktail flavours and concept is great! Their food is also good and a must try dish Is the enoki baos

    Good music, nice and easy vibe. Extra Lovely cocktails. Easy on the eyes ambience. A perfect place to chat up with your friends. Didn't order much to eat from the menu, but cocktails were definitely worth it.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Lair Restaurant and Bar, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The restaurant has a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere, with dim lighting and plush seating that make for a cozy and intimate dining experience. The menu had a wide range of options, from classic dishes to more creative and contemporary options. But what really stood out to me was the bar. The cocktails were top-notch and the bartender clearly knew what he was doing. I tried the smoked old fashioned and it was one of the best cocktails I've ever had. The smokiness of the drink was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the bourbon and the bitterness of the bitters. Overall, I highly recommend the this Bar for anyone looking for a memorable dining and drinking experience. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was sophisticated, and the cocktails were outstanding. I'll definitely be returning in the near future.

    Very chilling and good atmosphere around there. Food is very delicious and can be enjoyed with some varieties of mocktail. Best place to visit with friends and party with good music. Interior was so good and also staff was so humble.

    I found the place a tad overrated. Its location next to an alcohol shop didn't create much anticipation, especially with an odd crowd hanging around and giving us uncomfortable stares. Once you enter, the dark aesthetic makes an initial impact which lingers. The bar area outshines the dining space, and I must say, the music is absolutely top-notch - a solid 10/10. Once the drinks start flowing, the place does improve. The cocktails are decent, but I mean, that's to be expected, right? However, the Espresso Martini was a huge disappointment - I'd rate it a -5/10. They seem to have no clue how to make a proper Espresso Martini. The Calendula Punch had a good initial punch but grew boring after a few sips due to its overly sweet and unbalanced flavors. Shopian was enjoyable. The food was good, as it should be, nothing extraordinary. The Chicken Star Anise stood out, and the Chicken Satay would get a 7/10 from me - I've definitely had it better elsewhere. Hawker-style noodles and other dishes were satisfactory but not memorable. Service is fine. Staff is polite. Ultimately, the place didn't leave me awestruck. The music does a good job of compensating for what's lacking! If nothing else, definitely go for the music! If you are looking to dine, there are far better places in Delhi!
