Ignis
Ignis does well by giving you a sweeping look at the heart of Delhi thanks to its first floor perch. With subtle interiors and intriguing décor choices, this place provides a calming atmosphere for a meal in the middle of the afternoon or after a stressful day. Ignis
offers both Continental and Indian cuisines, but tries to stay
away from the clichéd options that fill regular menus. The Mushroom
Cappuccino or Flambéed Prawn Bisque makes for a great start, accompanied
by any of their varied kebabs. The main course is a treat, with options
like Chettinad Mutton and Dal Muradabadi. You can also go for their
Stroganoff or even a pizza. If you are looking for something light, the
Smoked Salmon Sandwich is a good idea. Round it all up with a Parsi
Kulfi, and you’re good to go.
