Fun and entertainment India

How about a show that combines theater, dance, music, Indian culture and legends? Kalakriti puts on a colorful show that tells the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz as well as that of the mischievous Krishna and Rada. Lovers of kitsch will have a front row seat! To attend the show, contact Kalakriti directly to make sure you pay the right price. Many middlemen are lining their pockets in the process.

Located on the rooftop of the Intercontinental Hotel, The Dome is a chic and elegant restaurant-bar that offers one of the most beautiful views on Marine Drive. One comes there mainly to relax around a good cocktail and to admire the sunsets on the Arabian Sea which seem fairy-like. On the menu, the many snacks offered will allow you to enjoy your glass of champagne, your glass of wine or your house cocktail. The prices are quite high of course and it is advised to reserve your table beforehand. A very romantic place.

The largest cinema in Rajasthan is an Art Deco masterpiece. The huge screening room can accommodate more than 1,200 spectators and the cinema can be visited like a museum. There are several categories of seats depending on their location in the unique room with the oversized screen. Opt for a balcony seat, which offers access to the small private waiting rooms. You'll find that the show is as much on the screen as it is in the room. The audience screams with joy at the first image, even if it's a commercial.

Restaurant, pub, disco, karaoke, everything is concentrated there to have fun until the end of the night.

A must-see place in the neighborhood. This contemporary art gallery-cafe serves breakfast in the morning (a great breakfast, with omelet, fresh fruit, homemade cakes and excellent fresh coffee) and live music in the evening! Warm cuisine, daily changing specials and good value for money. The place exhibits works by local artists. In short, a great place to start the day (ask for the list of events, which includes the possibility to learn to play an Indian classical instrument)!

Native Cocktail Room is the new sensation in Jaipur. Even Princess Gauriva Kumari of Jaipur's very royal family has a habit here. The Singh family has transformed their former boutique and a few rooms of the Pearl Palace Hotel into an intimate bar with a very oriental feel. The decor is a cross between a Chinese cabinet and an Indian palace, providing an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. An experienced barman creates original cocktails with quality spirits. A small terrace allows to take the freshness in the beautiful days. The place to be in Jaipur.

Every day, this center offers Kathakali shows, which start at 5 pm with the actors' make-up session, then the one-hour show at 6 pm. The room is superb, all in woodwork, and there is even a small balcony. From 7 to 8 pm, Kalarippayattu demonstrations. From Sunday to Friday, concerts of Indian classical music take place at 8 pm, while Saturday evening is devoted to South Indian classical dance (Bharatanatyam in particular). Dance, singing and music classes are also offered.

The Café des Arts is located in an old building with an old-fashioned charm. You can enjoy a breakfast, a crepe of the day, a salad, a croque-monsieur or simply a real espresso. The garden invites you to stroll, read and talk. The original decor gives the place a unique cachet, with an old rickshaw proudly standing in the garden. The place, conducive to relaxation and meetings, has quickly become a must in Pondy. Moreover, the places are quickly taken by storm.

A small tea room very popular with travelers and locals alike! The breakfast offered is copious: eggs of your choice, beans, toasts, fruits and coffee or tea. The menu offers a wide range of different teas. Sweet and savory snacks are offered all day long. Daily homemade dishes, which change according to the inspiration of the kitchen, are on the menu for lunch. The room is cozy with wooden furniture, a cozy atmosphere and teapots scattered here and there. Recommended.

In front of the New Market, on Lindsay Road.

The trendy bars of the Hauz Khas district have not opened their doors as soon as they close them. Let's hope this won't be the case for this "summer house". Installed on the second floor of a shopping mall, one comes first for its terrace lit with colorful garlands and dressed with tables and chairs of schoolboys repainted in bright colors. The air-conditioned room is much more plain with its brick walls and its too loud music. Lovers of strong drinks will be delighted here, as the menu offers an infinite number of variations.

With its air of gallery, this small café is a godsend for travel lovers and small budgets. The concept? Sharing around the trip. Ajay Jain, the manager of the place, invites the clientele to sit on wicker armchairs and enjoy a wi-fi connection as free as the hot drinks on the table at the back. Surrounded by beautiful pictures of India, you can consult travel guides in the library and leave a note on the central panel to find a companion or share a good map.

Whatever the day or time, this bar never closes its doors: that's why it's called 24/7. At 4 o'clock in the morning or in the afternoon, you can come and have a juice or a drink. The atmosphere is much nicer in the evening and the classic decor is less dull. Even if it offers cocktails, liqueurs and beers, this establishment will appeal to wine lovers. A nice selection of vineyards from France, Australia, California, Italy or South America at high prices.

The Delite is one of the first cinemas established in the capital in the 1950s. If you want to see a movie in Hindi at low cost in a really authentic atmosphere, we recommend this establishment which has been our favorite in Delhi for several years. During our visit, it had been renovated while keeping its old-fashioned charm. Beware of women traveling alone, it is really preferable to be accompanied. If the films on show do not tempt you, consult the program of the Golcha cinema which dates from the same period.

A small, clean and clean internet café.

A very friendly internet cafe.

Music bar with sometimes a DJ to animate dance floor. Exotic cocktails are one of the specialties of the place.

Opened in 2002, this is one of the city's historic bars. Completely renovated in 2023, this stubbornly rock pub boasts Jimi Hendrix and Michael Jackson on its walls and speakers, as well as many other artists. It's a little quieter during the week, except on Wednesdays for Ladies Night. Ideal for a nightcap, if you like lively places. The bar doubles up as a restaurant, but you'll need to come before 8pm to get a table.

Well known address of students who serve the cheapest alcohol in the neighbourhood and perhaps even in the whole city. To drink a good beer or a strong alcohol, ignore the red and blue lighting that provides a somewhat ugly atmosphere. You'll find a few backpackers with whom you can share your travel stories and why not a 2 litre Kingfisher giraffe at a competitive price! If hunger seizes you, possibility to dine on-site at the same price. But it's not terrible…

Like any self-respecting hotel in Delhi, the LaLiT has its own club-restaurant-bar-lounge dedicated to the city's golden youth and the entire LGBTQIA+ community. Pink neon and damask walls in a succession of alcoves and small lounges lead up to the main dance floor . Here, a compact crowd sways to the pulsating rhythms of electro-dance music played by a trendy DJ. Drag shows are regularly scheduled as part of the Pure Love campaign. Kitty Su is one of the capital's best-sellers.
