What:  Verve, Lane 29, Building 28, Hauz Khas Village, call 9811686949, Rs 2,500 for a meal for two with alcohol.

Why: This new multi-cuisine “diner” has what few venues in HKV do —massive floor space including a pretty outdoor balcony on which they serve super spicy chicken peri peri, crispy dahi kebabs, creamy lamb chops and nasi gorang redolent with fish sauce and topped by a perfectly rounded egg. bpb also loves Verve Special plum martinis and potent watermelon mojitos to sip on during live music sets held over the weekend. Full review out soon!

When: Swing by for a set by Indigo Children, Vinyl Records and Flexi K this Friday at 8:30 pm.
