Delhi’s Aerocity is synonymous with luxury for its hotels, restaurants, stores, and even its modern architecture. Built near the Indira Gandhi International Airport, it was mostly for travellers or people with endless layovers. But it has quickly morphed into a hotspot for Delhiites, too, providing everything from fine dining and glamorous staycation options to shopping experiences. So, if you’re planning to visit, here’s the best of what you can eat, drink, and shop at Aerocity. 

LBB Tip: The nearest metro station is Delhi Aerocity on the orange line. The main complex (Worldmark 1, 2,& 3) is a five-minute walk from there.

Where To Eat

From fine dining experiences to hotspot bars approved by party animals to celebrity-owned restaurants, you’ll find a ton of options here to grab a snack or a full-fledged meal across various budgets and cuisines. 

One8 Commune

Virat Kohli’s restaurant in the Worldmark 2 building is the perfect place to grab delicious continental and pan-Asian food with a really scrumptious list of drinks. Each dish bursts with flavours and freshness, and they have recently launched a new menu with every dish as spectacular as the other, especially the summer drink section. With plenty of seating and great service, we love the lowkey vibe here, and it's best to head if you are a big group of friends or having a corporate party.
