On 27th December, before doors officially opened and before the city knew what was coming, Dhoom hosted a private tasting evening. It was not a launch. It was not a preview in the traditional sense. It was a quiet moment of intention.
A long table ran through the heart of the space, lit by warm candlelight, layered with textures of food, glassware, conversation, and anticipation. Friends, collaborators, creators and early supporters gathered not to be impressed, but to experience.
This evening marked the final pause before movement. And with it, the official announcement:
Dhoom opens on 30th December at 4 PM!

Bhatti Chicken Tikka and Malai Tikka, carrying the warmth of open fire
Paneer Tikka Masala and Dal Tadka, grounded and soulful
Saag Chicken and Saag Lamb, layered with depth and restraint
Garlic naan and steamed rice, anchoring the table
Tiramisu Gulab Jamun and Mango Rasmalai, reimagined desserts that closed the loop between cultures
The tasting wasn’t about abundance. It was about pacing, contrast, and memory.

Cocktails, Conversations, and Shared Rhythm
Drinks played a supporting role, not a spotlight-grabbing one.
Cocktails like the Guava Vodka Cocktail and Curry Leaf Cocktail were crafted to sit comfortably alongside food rather than compete with it. Seasonal mocktails and mango lassi ensured that every guest found their rhythm at the table.
What mattered more than the drinks themselves was what they enabled:
Conversations that stretched beyond introductions
Laughter that softened formality
Silence that felt comfortable rather than empty
The space began to behave exactly as it was designed to.

The Room Comes Alive
What stood out most during the evening wasn’t a single dish or moment. It was how the room responded.
The long communal table encouraged connection. Smaller booths framed intimate conversations. The bar quietly anchored the space, while light, sound, and movement flowed naturally around it.
There was no rush. No forced spectacle.
Just people staying longer than planned.
That, more than anything, confirmed what Dhoom was becoming.
