The Experience
Raahi is what happens when someone decides to do a rooftop restaurant right. Located on the top floor of one of the village's newer buildings, it offers uninterrupted views of the Hauz Khas lake — no partial sightlines, no neighbouring building blocking it. The menu focuses on modern European small plates — think truffle fries, lamb sliders, burrata with heirloom tomatoes — designed for sharing. The cocktail program is serious, with a half-dozen signature drinks that change seasonally. The Smokey Old Fashioned is presented under a glass cloche filled with wood smoke, and watching it lift is a genuine moment.
Budget Strategy
Start with two signature cocktails (₹700-₹900 each), share 3-4 small plates (₹400-₹700 each), and finish with one dessert to share. Total: ₹2,500-₹3,500 for two. It's step-up-from-casual pricing without being Olive-level expensive, making it great for an impressive mid-range date.
