If you are visiting the Openhouse Cafe menu for the first time, this guide shows you how to build a table — starters, bar bites, mains and dessert — so everyone in the group finds something they like.
What is Openhouse Cafe famous for?
Openhouse Cafe is a cafe-bar-pub in the Inner Circle of Connaught Place with a full bar and live entertainment. Its food is built for sharing: plates that work with a drink, a conversation and live music in the background. Chef Dhruv, a graduate of the Culinary Academy of India, leads the kitchen.
Which starters should you order first?
Start with something everybody can reach for. Three dishes that suit the first round:
- Dim Sums — the easiest way to start a shared table.
- Tandoori Momos — momos with a tandoori twist, a natural pick in Delhi.
- Sharabi Kebabi Chicken Tikka — a chicken tikka that has become one of the house favourites.
What are the best bar bites with a drink?
Openhouse serves alcohol, and these dishes are made for the bar:
- Rock Corn Tempura — crisp and easy to share.
- Vietnamese Lotus Stem — a vegetarian pick that disappears quickly.
- Crispy Onion Rings — the classic you cannot go wrong with.
- Big Butter Chicken Jackets — butter chicken flavours in a comforting, hearty format.
What should you order for mains?
If the evening is turning into a full dinner, two mains stand out: Chilli Garlic Noodles for fans of Indo-Chinese flavours, and Double Pesto Chicken Lasagna for anyone who wants something rich and baked. Order one of each and share — it balances the table well.
Which dessert is a must at Openhouse?
Finish with the Drunken Tiramisu. It is the dessert regulars mention most, and it closes a long evening nicely.
How should you build an order for a group?
A simple rule of thumb for four people:
- Two starters (for example Dim Sums and Sharabi Kebabi Chicken Tikka).
- Two bar bites (Rock Corn Tempura and Vietnamese Lotus Stem).
- One or two mains (Chilli Garlic Noodles, Double Pesto Chicken Lasagna).
- One Drunken Tiramisu to share.
How much does a meal at Openhouse Cafe cost?
The average price for two is about ₹2,000, including drinks for most tables. Prices change from time to time, so check the menu at the cafe or ask the team when you call.
When is the best time to visit?
Openhouse Cafe is open every day from 11 AM to 1 AM. Come in the afternoon for a calmer lunch, or in the evening when the live singing, acoustic, Sufi, Bollywood and DJ nights begin — see our guide to live music in CP. For bigger groups, book a table in advance.
