For a grand time, spend an evening at 1911, one of the eight dining spots at The Imperial. Everything from the Art Deco-inspired interiors to the service (that’s intuitive without being intrusive) inspires romance at this restaurant. And this Valentine’s Day, you can skip the hassle of ordering through the extensive menu and bet on the buffet dinner curated for this very occasion. The buffet will bring you the best of European, Indian, Asian and Mediterranean cuisines with delicacies such as deep sea oysters, Himalayan cheese boards and sushis. Wash it down with a glass of sparkling wine and end your evening with handmade chocolates and Valentine tarts for the occasion at the Imperial Patisserie.

Fig and Maple, Greater Kailash
An indoor as well as an open-air area offer the best of both worlds at this rooftop space. Both sections are lit up by fairy lights running across the ceiling. Chef Radhika Khandelwal has championed a zero-waste menu for the restaurant that’ll feed every locavore’s appetite. Enjoy a modern take on indigenous Indian ingredients such as moringa and pathar ke phool, and sip on a gin (or ten) from the 70 infusions on the menu.
