Food buffs in Delhi have another reason to rejoice as they have a brand new destination to head to for luxury dining. There is no dearth of places serving scrumptious meals in and around Delhi but as they say – a change is always welcome. If you love strolling down the alleys inside Cyber Hub in Gurgaon along with a slew of eateries in a row, you will love this place too. Aerocity, till a few years back, was nothing but a green land. Situated in close proximity to the international airport, the area first caught the attention of hoteliers, who build some world-class 5-star hotels for people looking for accommodation near the airport. Cut to now, Aerocity is buzzing with corporate offices, shopping arcades and a bevy of well-known restaurants, cafes, bars and resto-bars.
Aerocity serves the right combination of luxury and entertainment within its well-planned commercial arena. The modern structures and strikingly clean pathways (called – the Walk) lend a very international feel to the whole area. Most of the restaurants have outdoor seating. The lavish interiors and heart-thumping music set the pace for a fun evening with your friends or family.
