Restaurant

๐Ÿ˜ Went to this place with high expectations. The ambiance and service were as good as it gets but the food was average at best. We ordered the Peruvian chicken skewers and the Peking duck. Both the dishes though presented beautifully lacked in flavour. The Peking duck is something I would specifically...

    Went to this place with high expectations. The ambiance and service were as good as it gets but the food was average at best. We ordered the Peruvian chicken skewers and the Peking duck. Both the dishes though presented beautifully lacked in flavour. The Peking duck is something I would specifically recommend against since I ended up paying more than 2000 for a dish which was barely average. The desserts, again presented beautifully didnโ€™t do well on the flavour front. Much better food is available at far better prices in other cafรฉs, there is a dire need to improve the food.

    Had a great time at Kakapo. Great Food coupled with awesome ambience, very good Service and peppy Music - Definitely a must visit place. Dumplings, Pizza, Ravioli, Sushi, Tofu are just awesome! And Desert was just great. Service experience was enhanced by this cute tech table lamp, which changes colours to notify the server, as also, has mobile charging option ๐Ÿคฉ Innovative Kakapo๐Ÿ‘

    One of the most happening places in Mehrauli lately.. unlike other places which are meant more for their vibes & ambience, minus their emphasis on food & quality .. this place is a complete win win .. love the food they serve.. service is prompt, music any number of times has always been the best .. must try place ๐Ÿ‘

    Been to this restaurant twice with a gap of 6 months. It has only gotten better that it already was. The Buckwheat Crepes was quite a unique appetizer and a must try. I can challenge no other restaurant in Delhi has better Sushi. Definitely try the Avocado and Mango Sushi. The Burrata, Chickpea & Sorghum salad was again a unique idea and a very interesting texture. Totally loved it. Now the sour dough pizza - we ordered the Kakapo Margherita - it comes with a generous serving of burrata, but then this is not for those who love the thin-crust or Crispy bases. I am not particularly a fan of sour dough, so did not impress me. The asian mains were also excellent from what i remember, had tried those in my first visit. Service is definitely excellent. This area is quite packed on Friday & Saturday evenings.. post 8.30pm.. so be prepared for that. Traffic can be a nightmare. Overall we had a wonderful experience and looking forward to coming back to Kakapo.

    Kakapo sits on 2nd floor of Ambawatta complex , you enjoy lush green forest view while you dine out and extremely warm interiors inside serves amazing food varieties along with too good taste , am watering while writing it down , a must visit place and goat cheese salad is a must

    Had a fantastic winter lunch at Kakapo ! The restaurant has a great decor ! Staff is very friendly ! Food is really well presented and taste great too ! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Every dish was well prepared and definitely recommended ! The place also has outdoor seating which is quite nice, but if it is windy then better to sit inside !

    This is by far my new favorite restaurant in New Delhi. The staff were so friendly and every dish was a hit. I highly recommend the lobster entree, scallop and crab small plate, jerk chicken small plate, dim sum, pizza, and pasta. The cocktails also hit the spot. We ended up ordering like 40 items for a party of 4 and one child and not one dish disappointed us. The ambiance, location, and absolutley everything about our experience was perfect and reasonably priced. Thank you to our wait staff for the anniversary surprise dessert. What a special touch. We can't wait to go back!

    Kakapo is a restaurant in Mehrauli ( New Delhi) good for fine dining. The restaurant is on second floor . There is an escalator on the ground floor which takes you up to the reception of Kakapo. There is indoor as well as outdoor seating. Good quality hard drinks and mocktails are served here. We were served different chips with curd based dip. I loved their presentation. The dessert was exceptionally good. There are high chairs at the bar. The presentation of every drink and food item was interesting and classy. The cloakroom ( washroom) was clean and tidy ,no less than a five star hotel. The crowd is classy here and you will like the tableware and cutlery too.

    Went for lunch with my wife and mother-in-law. The service staff was hospitable and polite. When we arrived, they had just opened up so took them a short while to get into the full swing of things but soon they redeemed themselves on every account. Chef Nishant came out to help us decide what to order and every single dish was spectacular! From presentation to flavour profiles, everything was spot on. We tried the Burrata salad, sweet pork bao, salmon & dynamite prawn sushi and the jackfruit curry with roti. Their signature desert - a Kakapo egg was beautiful to look at, complex in flavours and most importantly delicious. All in all, a fantastic experience, big shoutout to Chef Nishant for feeding us well and we shall definitely be back for another visit soon. Thank you!

    I could have easily given this trendy place 5 stars, but the New Zealand lambchops, albeit, delicious, were really dissapointing in serving size. The server was aware, that whatever was coming on the table, was being shared by our whole party, he did not bother to tell us, that only 2 pieces of lamb chops would be served. Otherwise, the duck was spot on, sushi was great... All in all, a decent meal. Very pricey!

    Visiting Kakapo is an experience of its own The ambience is just so good. The staff there is very polite and the food is just too good. We ordered 4 things in total. 1. Spruce- which was a thick crust pizza the toppings on it was just so sumptuous.. 2. Cucumber and avocado sushi which i believe is a must try because it tasted sooo good.. 3. Penne pasta and that was tasty as well And lastly 4. Chocolate cloud - we relished that dessert it was so good This place is must recommended not just for the food but also for the experience!!!

  • 3/5 Amrita S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautifully done up new place by the owners of Townhall and Amour Cafe, but the food fails to score even a 2 star. There is outdoor sitting too but too cramped up and hardly any view. The piรจce de rรฉsistance is the tree at the Center of the restaurant by Klove and it definitely attracts a first (or third time like myself) customer but the buck stops there.

    Had heard alot about Kakapo and even seen alot on social media. So the day I had a Qutub Minar Night walk I decided to go to Kakapo for dinner. The restaurant is located inside the complex and has valet service aswell. One has to take stairs or the lift to reach the first floor where the restaurant is situated. They also have a very nice terrace which has been converted into a more party place. Once you enter they have a hostess who takes you to your table , which could be either inside or their outdoor option. We chose to sit inside as both the seating and music were very nice. There is a large man made tree as an ornament which is used has lights and gives the ambience a wonderful charm. The restaurant is mostly dimly light and with the nice techno music feels very relaxing and groovy. We were very tired and famished so skipped the drinks and went straight for the food. Our server was pretty good and gave us some nice recommendations. We got Beer Battered Fish n Chips and Crispy Chicken for starters. 1) Beer Battered Fish n Chips - The portion is the first thing which struck as it was tiny. There were 3 smaller than medium pieces of fried fish and Max 10 pieces of chips in the serving. The fish was more orley style than beer battered. It was a thick coating of batter which was light , slightly crispy and airy. The flavours were pretty good and the tarter sauce went well with the fish. But the portion was really disappointing especially for the price. 2) Crispy Chicken - This was like a Dry Kung Pao Chicken . The presentation was very nice on this and the portion was definitely much better than the fish. But again the portion was definitely not enough. The Chicken was very well fried with a really nice crispy outer layer. The chicken also had a nice hot and smokey flavour to it which was great. The leeks , peanuts and dry red chillies also added to the flavour of the dish. 3) Thai Green Curry Prawn - We had decided to go for this and another main course afterwards but after having this we reordered this again. The Thai Green curry was the only thing which was a decent enough portion. But sadly the Jasmine rice served along with it was pretty small as both times the rice would get over in no time and quite a bit of the curry would remain which I would have as a soup. But the flavours of the Thai Curry were just awesome. One of my favourite Thai curry is from Bo Tai and I can say Kakapos' definitely challenges the one at Bo Tai. The flavours are just on point , the gravy is thick and rich and full of Kafir lime flavour which was really pleasant. The prawns and veggies were cooked to perfection and had a decent amount of prawns. Overall an amazing Thai curry Our server had given us pretty good service all along but at the time of billing him and the manager went for a toss. The manager was pretty rude and confusing and I don't like to make a scene so just paid them and left . They wouldn't honour the discount which I had from eazydiner and wouldn't remove the service charge either , which is not allowed to begin with. The billing process was a nightmare and really left a sour taste in the experience which overall would have been pretty good apart from the small portion sizes . I definitely liked the ambience, taste of food and general service but the experience was completely ruined by the billing process. Will only recommend if you are willing to fight or make a scene at the time of billing with the rude manager, otherwise please skip as there are much better places with was better service.

    It's located at Ambwatta one complex opposite Qutub minar. It has beautiful interiors and an excellent bar. The staff is very courteous. Their drinks and food is awesome. We ordered the mezze platter and it was delicious. For dessert we ordered Tiramisu and it was out of this world. Overall 10/10. Must visit.

    Fantastic brunch experience! The array of dishes is delightful, and the hospitality is superb. The use of the finest ingredients adds to the diversity of the lunch buffet. Undoubtedly, it's an excellent destination for spending quality time with family and friends.
