Daryaganj Restaurants has announced the launch of its first Daryaganj Gold in India, marking a new chapter for the brand. The new outlet has opened at GMR Square, Aerocity, bringing a more elevated and immersive format to its dining experience.
Seven years ago, Daryaganj began its journey in Aerocity with a simple idea of serving familiar North Indian flavours that people grew up with. Today, the brand returns to the same location with a bigger vision, expanding its presence with a second outlet in the area. While the Daryaganj Gold concept was first introduced earlier this year in Bangkok, its arrival in Delhi feels like a natural homecoming.
The new space is designed to build on the brand’s existing identity while adding more depth to the overall experience. With a seating capacity of over 150, the restaurant focuses not just on scale but on creating a setting where food, ambience, and nostalgia come together in a more thoughtful way.
At the centre of the offering is Daryaganj’s Classics Menu, which continues to be a favourite among guests. Alongside this, the Daryaganj Gold Menu has been specially curated for this outlet, reworking familiar flavours with subtle innovation while keeping their original essence intact. The experience also includes a dedicated chaat selection that brings India’s street food favourites into a more refined setting. Dishes such as Dahi Bhalla Bingsu, Gol Gappa Trio, Mushroom Ram Ladoo, 24 Karat Mutton Biryani, Daryaganj Daulat Ki Chaat, and India Gate Avocado Bhel Puri reflect a mix of nostalgia and contemporary presentation.
The menu also revisits recipes dating back to 1947, including Jelly Fruit Cream Custard and Nargasi Kofta, originally served by Kundan Lal Jaggi. These dishes continue to highlight flavours that have remained relevant over time. The culinary direction is led by Chef Gaurav Pandey, who brings over 15 years of experience, while Chef Deep Chand Dobriyal continues to guide the brand’s core classics.
One of the key highlights is the Five Senses Curries, available in mutton and chicken. These dishes are designed as an experience, where the cooking process itself becomes part of the meal. From the sound of the cooker to the aroma and the final taste, each stage adds to the overall experience. The open kitchen allows guests to witness this process, making it more engaging.
The beverage menu follows a similar approach, drawing from retro flavours and presenting them in a way that suits today’s preferences. The experience is further enhanced with a live tawa and chaat section that captures the energy of Indian street food. Chef Theatre Nights add another layer, offering interactive dining sessions where guests can engage directly with the chefs.
Evenings at Daryaganj Gold bring a more relaxed vibe through Daryaganj Studio Nights, which feature a mix of curated music experiences, from reimagined classics to live unplugged performances. The space also caters to smaller gatherings with private dining rooms for 8, 12, and 20 guests, making it suitable for both personal and professional occasions.
Speaking about the launch, Amit Bagga, Co-Founder and CEO of Daryaganj Restaurants, said, “This is truly a full-circle moment for us. Seven years ago, around this time, we opened our very first Daryaganj restaurant here at Aerocity. With Daryaganj Gold now at GMR Square, Aerocity, we return with a much bigger, more elevated and immersive experience. Over the years, the response from guests here only kept growing. There were days when we had to turn people away, even on weekdays, and we consistently heard feedback asking for more space. Daryaganj Gold is our answer to that continued demand, allowing us to welcome more guests while presenting the brand at a grander scale.”
The name ‘Gold’ holds a deeper meaning, inspired by Swaran Jaggi, wife of Kundan Lal Jaggi, whose legacy continues to influence the brand’s iconic dishes like Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani. With “Swaran” translating to gold, the name has been closely connected to the brand’s identity from the beginning.
While the format brings in a more expansive experience, the foundation remains unchanged. Daryaganj continues to draw from recipes that go back to 1947, focusing on flavours that have stood the test of time. With Daryaganj Gold, the brand builds on this legacy, adding new layers without losing its original charm. Going forward, the concept will remain exclusive, with only one Daryaganj Gold outlet planned per city in key markets.

Selva has opened at World St. at Worldmark, Aerocity, marking its entry into New Delhi with a design-led contemporary Mexican dining concept that brings together regional Mexican traditions, Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei influences and an immersive hospitality experience.
The new restaurant is the third and most ambitious venture from first-generation restaurateur Sarthak Sidana, founder of Underdoggs and Sere. With concepts developed across ten cities over the past decade, Sidana now brings Selva to the capital as part of World St.'s growing portfolio of global culinary destinations.
Selva's culinary identity has been shaped by more than a year of research and travel across Mexico and Asia, exploring regional traditions, ingredients and techniques. The resulting menu combines Mexican culinary heritage with contemporary interpretations and Nikkei influences.
The menu features dishes such as Tlayuda, Nori Tacos, ceviches and tiraditos, alongside house-made tortillas and seafood and meat preparations cooked over a robata grill. The approach focuses on traditional techniques while presenting the flavours in a contemporary format designed for the Indian dining audience.
Complementing the restaurant is Selva Maya, an intimate after-dark cocktail den inspired by Mesoamerican mythology. The beverage programme has been developed by the team behind Hideaway Cocktail Bar in Goa, adding a dedicated nightlife element to the Selva experience.
Commenting on the opening, S. K. Sayal, MD & CEO, Bharti Real Estate, said, "Selva's arrival is a strong reflection of World St.'s growing stature as India's most sought-after culinary destination. We have always envisioned World St. as a space that brings the world's most distinctive dining experiences to Delhi."
He added that as World St. continues to welcome established culinary brands, the destination remains focused on developing the promenade as a benchmark for experiential dining in the country.
Sarthak Sidana, Founder, Selva, said the concept emerged from years of travel and research across Mexico, Peru, Japan and other culinary destinations. He explained that the aim was to explore how Mexican and Nikkei cuisine could be interpreted for India while bringing together food, cocktails, design and hospitality into a cohesive experience.
Selva's arrival further expands World St.'s growing culinary portfolio. The destination is home to the first Olive Garden in India, while Time Out Market, the global food and cultural marketplace, is set to make its India debut at the development.
Other dining concepts at World St. include P.F. Chang's, Magnolia Bakery, Starbucks Reserve and PAUL, alongside a wider selection of restaurants, cafés and lifestyle brands.
Spanning nearly half a kilometre across Worldmark 4, 5 and 6, World St. is designed as a pedestrian-friendly dining and lifestyle promenade featuring global cuisine, alfresco dining, landscaped courtyards, art installations and public spaces.
With the addition of Selva, World St. continues to build its positioning as a destination for international culinary concepts and experiential dining in Delhi-NCR.
