The place exudes warmth with its cozy ambiance, earthy decor, and calming vibe, making it perfect for intimate gatherings or peaceful dining. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely delightful! We tried: 🥑 Avocado Toast – Fresh, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. 🍕 Millet Smoky Paneer Pizza – A unique and flavorful twist with a crispy millet base. 🌯 Hummus Roll – Soft, packed with flavor, and a great balance of textures. Every dish was crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the attention to healthy, sustainable dining truly stood out. The service was warm and attentive, making us feel right at home.

Quaint cafe with limited but great items. Their avocado toast is really simple and nice. Love visiting this cafe whenever I get a chance.

One of the best pizzas that I had in Delhi-NCR. Great service and even greater staff hospitality. Will come here again soon.

Food is healthy but tasty for foreigners, not for Indians. Too bland. Ambience is nice

The Most Radical Thing a Delhi Restaurant Has Done in Years: Nothing. Just Dinner. There is a peculiar modern affliction that has crept into our dining rooms, our living rooms, and eventually into every restaurant worth its salt in this city. You will have noticed it. You are seated across from someone you presumably like — a spouse, a parent, an old friend — and within minutes, without quite realising how it happened, both of you are staring into the blue glow of a rectangle, scrolling through lives that are not your own, while a perfectly good meal goes cold in front of you. The statistics, when you encounter them, are almost comic in their bleakness. Seventy-two per cent of people, according to research, check their phones while dining with family and friends. I suspect the other twenty-eight per cent are simply lying. Which is why what Andaz Delhi has done at their Soul Pantry restaurant is, in the most understated way possible, quite revolutionary. They've asked you to put your phone in a box. A wooden box, to be precise. The programme is called Switch Off, a collaboration between Andaz Delhi and Vivo, and the premise is almost embarrassingly simple: when you are seated, the staff — with that particular warmth Andaz has always done well — politely invites you to deposit your mobile device into a wooden box at the table. The box stays shut. Your phone stays silent. And for the duration of your meal, you are, rather radically, just a person having dinner. I visited Soul Pantry on a quiet evening with my family, with no great expectations beyond a decent meal and some relative calm. What I did not anticipate was how disorienting the first few minutes would feel. There is a kind of phantom itch that sets in when you cannot reach for your device — a reflex so deeply conditioned that you notice its absence the way you notice a missing step on a staircase. And then, quite suddenly, it passes. The format at Soul Pantry lends itself beautifully to this experiment. Diners are invited to build their own meals at a live food station — an inherently social activity, the kind that requires actual conversation and occasional negotiation over what goes on whose plate. Without the dopamine drip of notifications to compete with, you find yourself doing something almost forgotten: paying attention to the people in front of you. The conversations, I noticed, became longer. More textured. The silences, when they came, were comfortable rather than anxious. My family and I ended up playing Uno — the card game, not an app version of it — and I cannot tell you the last time an evening felt so unforced, so genuinely light. Soul Pantry sweetens this proposition further with a rather clever incentive. Tables that manage to stay completely offline for thirty minutes are rewarded with a complimentary dessert. It is, I thought, a masterstroke of behavioural design — turning abstinence into achievement, and then celebrating it with sugar. The food, for what it is worth, holds its own. But I found myself less focused on cataloguing every dish and more focused on the act of eating itself — which is, when you think about it, rather the point. Andaz Delhi has always understood hospitality in a way that goes beyond the transactional. But Switch Off feels like something more than a clever marketing initiative. It feels like a small, earnest argument for the idea that dinner still matters. That the people across the table from you are worth your undivided attention. That a meal shared in genuine presence is worth infinitely more than the same meal documented for strangers. In a city as perpetually distracted as Delhi, that argument needed making. Soul Pantry has made it rather well.

When the staff came to take our order, the explanation of the menu was not very clear. I mentioned that I would place the order once my friend arrived, but the staff asked whether the current menu should be served. I explained that I would order shortly. After that, I overheard the staff member sharing the situation with another colleague in what seemed to be a dissatisfied tone. I don’t believe this reflects a professional or courteous attitude toward guests. Additionally, after we finished our meal and were ready to pay, none of the two or three floor staff were attentive to the table. We eventually had to walk up ourselves to complete the payment. A small smile, clear explanations, and attentive care can truly make guests feel welcome and happy. I sincerely hope the service experience can be improved.

The service was extremely slow and disorganised. We had to repeatedly walk up to the counter to place our order or request that someone come to the table. This happened every single time we ordered, and again when we asked for the cheque. Additionally, the staff was poorly informed about the menu. We ordered a baked yogurt that, as per the description, was supposed to include granola. However, it arrived without any granola. When we asked about this, the staff argued that the splash of cream on top was the granola. Overall, a very poor experience due to both service quality and lack of product knowledge.
