Ohri’s Group, with its rich culinary legacy spanning five decades, proudly introduces Tansen, a new dining experience that marries the magnificence of the Mughal era with the culinary heritage of the North-Western Frontier. Inspired by the legendary musician Tansen, whose music transcended time and geography, this restaurant aims to capture his spirit of creativity and sophistication in every dish and detail.
Tansen’s legacy as an exceptional musician who defined an era is mirrored in the restaurant’s ambiance and cuisine. The establishment pays homage to Tansen’s artistic brilliance by crafting a dining experience where every meal feels like a harmonious melody. The serene environment features the gentle flow of water and live Sufi music, creating a poetic and tranquil atmosphere. The decor, adorned with gold accents, reflects the regal elegance of Mughal courts, while the service is imbued with the grace and charm of a bygone era.
The menu at Tansen offers a diverse array of dishes that celebrate the fusion of tradition and innovation. Guests can start with unique offerings like the Sundried Tomato & Smoke Cheese Kulcha and the Hyderabadi Marag, a spicy mutton soup with hazelnut and rose essence. The main course features specialties such as the Green Chicken Curry, a tantalizing blend of chili, coriander, and raw mango, and the historic Pathar-ka-Gosht, traditionally cooked on flat granite stones. Innovative creations like the Edamame & Green Peas Kebab, a blend of Middle Eastern and Indian flavors, and the Pepper Fish, marinated with a peppery twist and served with applewood smoked pineapple chutney, add to the menu’s allure.
Mr. Amar Ohri, Owner of Ohri's Group, explains, “At Tansen, we immerse you in a world where the opulence of the Mughal era meets the rich culinary heritage of the North-Western Frontier. We draw our inspiration from the legendary musician Tansen. Here, the rich culinary traditions of the Mughal era blend seamlessly with contemporary dining, resulting in a celebration of flavors that embody history, creativity, and the pure pleasure of gastronomy. Tansen represents a fusion of tradition and innovation, creating a mosaic of tastes that excite the palate and leave a lasting impression on all who dine with us. We hope to continue to serve our guests with great experiences and smiling faces.”
Consultant Chef Anuj Wadhawan adds, “Tansen takes immense pride in celebrating the diverse flavors and culinary heritage of the North Western Frontier, reimagining them with creativity and flair. Each dish we serve is a masterpiece, blending top-quality ingredients with spices that carry stories of the past and uphold tradition. Our menu embodies the essence of Mughal-inspired design, offering guests a chance to savor beautifully crafted kebabs, aromatic biryanis, and more. Dining with us is not just a meal, but an opportunity to create lasting memories through exceptional food and a captivating ambience. We welcome you to embark on a culinary journey with us, experiencing grandeur and timeless customs.”

SOCIAL, India’s favourite neighbourhood café-bar, is raising a toast with the launch of The Big Drop – Peena Edition, a bold new drinks menu celebrating 11 years of community, creativity, and cocktails. Designed to match every table, mood, and adda, the Peena Edition reimagines India’s evolving drinking culture with a mix of nostalgia, playfulness, and accessibility.
From timeless classics that ease into afternoon conversations to innovative formats and shareable pitchers that fuel evening catch-ups, the new menu ensures something for every kind of guest. Inspired by India’s everyday social spaces, from quarter bars and kattas to thekas and toddy shops, the menu blends old-school familiarity with SOCIAL’s unmistakable modern twist.
SOCIAL’s iconic creations such as the Longest Long Island Iced Tea (LLIIT) and Banarasi Patiala have long been crowd favourites. The Peena Edition carries that legacy forward with new-age icons like the Longest Long Island Iced Coffee (LLIIC) and the quirky SOCIAL Lubes range, including SOCIAL Emotions, Lifaafa, and Candy Crush drinks that are as photogenic as they are flavourful.
Innovation extends beyond the ingredients to the experience itself. Cocktails wrapped like candy, test-tube shots, and towering coffee jars make every serve interactive and shareable. Starting at just ₹395, the Peena Edition stays true to SOCIAL’s belief that great cocktails should be both creative and approachable.
OG: Longest Long Island Iced Coffee (LLIIC) – 750ml of coffee-spiked indulgence.
SOCIAL Lubes: Playful formats that bottle moods – SOCIAL Emotions (Zen AF, Weird Flex, Delulu, Aura), Lifaafa (served in a post-office pouch), and Candy Crush (a candy-wrapped cocktail).
Sangria Pitchers: Shareable and bold – variants like Cosmo Berry, Tropical Twist, House Spice, Java, Rita.
Squad Shots & Liqueurs: High-energy serves such as SOCIAL Kami Krazy test-tube shots and the explosive SOCIAL Bomb.
The Classics: SOCIAL’s twist on favourites including Espresso Martini, Negroni, Daiquiri, Paloma, Manhattan, and Old Fashioned.
Speaking about the launch, Riyaaz Amlani, Founder & Managing Director, Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., said, "The Peena Edition of the Big Drop menu is special because it speaks the language of the people. India’s drinking culture has always been about community — from quarter bars and kattas to thekas and toddy shops — and we’ve brought that spirit into a menu built for today. Innovation was needed because people don’t just come to us for what’s in the glass, but for how it makes them feel. The Big Drop captures that spirit in full.”
The Peena Edition complements SOCIAL’s Big Drop Khaana menu, together offering a seamless food-and-drink experience that celebrates how India eats, drinks, and connects today.
