whisky samba

whisky samba is much talked about bar and restaurant in horizon 1 , it is a large bar with big choice of alcohol and cocktails. a great place to be in. food menu is with a little twist , barley risotto with ghee , bihari red rice with mushroom , etc. food preparation and presentation was good. prices are bit stiff.

though expensive but honestly worth its price. had an amazing time at this place with my team. really enjoyed the afternoon meal & look forward to returning here soon

had a lovely lunch today at the place, location is perfect,
menu is well designed by chef vikramjeet roy.

ambiance- 5/5
food- 5/5
service- 5/5

had heard a lot about the place, and boy the place was totally worth all the hype.

we reached the place at around 8:30 pm on a saturday night and had asked for a reservation, which turned out to be a wise decision. the place starts getting quite crowded 9 pm onwards so it is recommended to turn up early in order to get a place here.

the ambience, seating and the serving is definitely above par than any fine dining restaurant that i have been to. the seating for most couples was on a long table – with both the partners sitting on either side of the table, this one reminded me of the western style of fine dining. although it sounds cramped, it was quite spacious for both people.

we were greeted with a cocktail on the house – it was called boarding pass and was quite a good start with good flavours of whisky and ginger ale. gets you started on the right note. next we ordered a van gogh swirls and smokes, and a cezanne nahi asaani for my wife. both the drinks were excellent choices. hers was more fruity just like she likes it and mine was more flavourful with a nice pleasant after taste.

for food, since we were quite hungry, we went straight for a large plate, it was called aam kasundi fish. flavorful fish curry with tangy taste along with ghee rice. must say it was quite commendable and the portion size although small was apt for 2 people.

the servers were always attentive with the ambience and music adding a great deal to the vibe.

it is definitely on the expensive side with couple of drinks and one large plate costing us inr 3k for 2 people – but definitely a place to come back whenever one feels like chilling and splurging.

been here more than a few times and it always feels a new way to discover what this place offers. great food, great presentation and great ambience.

its not a daily goto place for our pockets but an awesome place occasionally.

so we went there on our anniversary.. after reading on zomato that this place also serves north indian. but alas we were utterly dissatisfied and disappointed.

this is a place for drinks and seafood nay be but definitely not a fine dining place for indian food!!

spoilt my special day! 😥

had heard a lot about the place from many friends, so went there in the last trip to check out myself.
we made a reservation in advance to avoid last min stress as the place get crowded by 9pm esp. on fridays. the location is nice and with only limited places around its not as crowded as cyber hub or sec 29 market.

we took outside table, and i must say with nice breeze its worth every minute spent.

they pour liquor from the bottle in front of you, to build the credibility. besides the regular drinks, wheat beer and whiskey trails are a must try. we didn’t find the food very tempting, therefore only had snacks. overall, a good experience.

simply amazing. now i know, why it is called one of the best cocktail bar in town. recommended for cocktail lovers.

food is also good. a little expensive but quality of food and ambient make it worth.

good ambience and location but music, menu and food taste has something missing with lot of scope to improve. even after change in menu cannot relate to the food.

we've done whisky samba before, but thankfully this time we had a while and got in early to enjoy the place. delighted with the weather, we sat outside for the get together with friends.

my friends enjoyed the welcome drink, while i enjoyed an interesting spicy guava mocktail. my drink was something that everyone ordered alcohol with my drink.

in starters we tried 2 interesting dimsums- a veggie in some soya and another one reach was more green. the sushis- veg tempura was good while the kimchi - mango was interesting too. the tofu chilly was good but lacked accompaniments, while the chilly chickenesh dish was something our friend enjoyed.

dinner was daal and some kulcha, rice and a tasty and interesting spinach gravy.

overall a delicious though not inexpensive meal.

recommended.

whisky samba is a beautifully done up space with one of the best cocktail menu. the aura of the place and the outdoor sitting literally would steal your heart. we ordered high maintenance and there’s something about mary and both were amazing in taste. the flavours were just apt giving you the perfect hit.
boarding pass, their whisky based drink was on the house and was real good (though i’m not a whisky person).
staff is also very courteous.
the place is totally value for money
overall, was very happy with my experience.

ram milan is a fine server. would recommend asking for him when you visit to serve you. the food’s good overall and so is the ambience and everything else you come to expect with the place.

cutting one star because the music did not make sense for a half outdoor, half indoor dining primary space. since there was no dance floor, the music volume could’ve been lowered to encourage a more conversation friendly dinner. also, the table arrangements are slightly questionable but hey, that’s a management call!

such bad food🤮
i’ve never ever eaten such bad food..
everything was double fried.
taste disgusting
as suggested by the server
the best
crispy asparagus dimsums
crispy prawns dimsums
was sooo bad
crispy shiitake mushrooms horrible
crispy prawns again horrible.
plus food wasn’t very hot when served.
2 thing i liked was lamb chops and water chestnuts and avocado salad.
and the cocktails were amazing.

finally decided to make the trip from one part of town to another to celebrate a couple of occasions together. a promotion, a commissioning of an officer, an ias preparation finally coming to an end.

out here with the boys, in the mood to get a few fancy cocktails and then the regular poison down the system. being greeted and seated with alcoholic welcome drinks named boarding passes was just great. tasted equally great as well. ordered the following cocktails :
1. van gogh swirls and smokes
2. whiskey samba sour
3. mr. spice and nice (plum oriented cocktail)

the whiskey sour was the one that suited my palate the most with the spice & nice blowing me away on presentation. the overall cocktail experimentation session pleasurable.

the food is where i was taken by surprise! it outdid the cocktails and i wasn't expecting that for even a brief second. decided to go with a chicken with fermented chilli and stir fried pork belly.

taste on point! plating on point! portion size on point! food experience completely on point!

the chicken dish is essentially a chilli chicken preparation but with each ingredient being individually flavoured especially the beets.

the show stopper for the evening by far goes to the pork belly! tender yet firm in a sauce that gave me the urges to lick the bowl clean. the rice that accompanied it was of similar fashion. independent enough to enjoy by itself.

a great place to enjoy a few cocktails with the boys and definitely worth dropping by for a meal if this is the level of food that has to be offered.

great job guys!

we visited this place for a friends birthday treat, the ambience was quite good and the location of the restaurant is also great.
we ordered poached chicken dumplings, beetroot cutlet(i don’t remember the name of the dish), aam kasundi fish, sushi and chilli mushrooms.
the beetroot cutlet was a new dish for me and it turned out to be amazing. the taste was real good!
chicken dumplings came immersed in soya sauce and were plated very well.
the sushi and the chilli mushroom were also good.
i would recommend a visit to this place.
a must have is the beetroot cutlet!
