This Valentine’s season, SOCIAL is inviting guests to take love offline with its nationwide campaign, लव like the OGs, running from 10th to 28th February across all SOCIAL outlets. Inspired by the simplicity of old-school romance, the campaign encourages people to slow down, have real conversations, and reconnect without screens in the way.

At a time when love often plays out over DMs and dating apps, SOCIAL is tapping into a growing desire among Gen Z for something more intentional and personal. The idea behind लव like the OGs is not about going back in time, but about bringing back what truly matters, showing up, speaking honestly, and giving someone your full attention.

Speaking about the campaign, Divya Aggarwal, Chief Growth Officer at Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., said, “Love today is fast, filtered, and often fleeting. With लव like the OGs theme, we wanted to slow things down and bring back the charm of old-school romance, where effort mattered and conversations weren’t rushed. SOCIAL has always been about belonging and real connections, and this Valentine’s, we’re inviting people to step away from screens and rediscover what love feels like offline.”

As part of the experience, guests can write handwritten postcards while waiting for their food and exchange notes the old-fashioned way. The idea is simple, whether you’re on a first date, with your partner, or just out with friends, sit across the table and share a moment that feels real.

A major highlight of the campaign is the limited-edition Valentine’s menu titled Do Dishon Ka Mel. Celebrating cross-cultural love stories through bold food pairings, the menu blends flavours from different regions with SOCIAL’s signature twist. Dishes include Sev Puri Toastada, bringing Puraani Dilli and Mexico together; Bhuna Ghost Cheese Tart; Chicken Biryani Burrito; and Andhra Chilli Paneer & Chicken Chopsuey.

Other special creations include Krapow Aglio Olio in plant-based, chicken, and lamb options, Kebab Paella, Cheeseburst Smash Burgers, and desserts like Snicker Samosa and Gajar Halwa Sizzler. The Valentine’s special menu will be available across SOCIAL outlets from 10th to 28th February. Select dishes will also be offered for delivery through Swiggy and Zomato for those celebrating at home.

Staying true to its community-first approach, SOCIAL will also host curated in-outlet experiences and events at select locations. Designed to be inclusive and warm, the celebration welcomes everyone: single, taken, or somewhere in between.

With लव like the OGs, SOCIAL reinforces its space as more than just a café-bar. This Valentine’s, the brand reminds guests that love doesn’t need an algorithm, just a table, a postcard, and a little effort.
