Finally a super classy, no frills but ample attitude and very elitist bar and that too in Gurgaon! Whiskey Samba it is ! Your go to place for some finest whiskey experience, a perfectly laid out bar and ambience that sets it apart and notches above any of the bars in Delhi NCR! So get set to wear the snob you, light a cigar and swirl some smokey beverage on the rocks .. sexy bourgeoisie to the hilt.. for the adults only 😊😊!! (Words Courtesy Kavita Bagga)

Finally Gurgaon has a place that has great food and serves great cocktails! The place has pizzaz and buzz. The portions are phenomenal. And the Avalanche dessert needs a special mention, in not just sufficing ones gluttony but also it's sensation artistic camaraderie with the eater �. Worth many visits!

Walked in post a meeting at one Horizon centre, beautiful looking restaurant with a lovely inviting porch. They had their lunch buffet on and I loved the range of tapas especially their own hummus. I loved the size of that bar and that menu was quite something. Loved the chicken wrap I'm sure once they get their liquor this could become a happening spot in gurgaon!

This planning is super happening! They have the best crowd and the best music in town. But what really makes them different from the other clubs is their staff. There are very few lady staff at such places, and especially available during late hours (for the safety reasons) last night I met Kiran Didi (she is one who takes care of the washroom) I have never met someone who is so kind and always there to help you out! She give more than 100% at her job and also she makes every single girl feel super warm! Love her vibe, will be there again for her!

Pretty pricey. Waiters were attentive and polite. The food was great - pumpkin curry served with bread and chilli mushroom served with rice. The ambience was very nice except the loud music. At an average of $25 per person it’s not cheap but hey the place is worth a visit.

One of the best menus I have seen - unique and exotic. The lunch was amazing - the asparagus tempura was nice and crunchy, the dim sum was also great taste and well presented. Avocado toast was slightly disappointing compared to the rest of the menu, but the presentation of food, the service of the staff and the great conversations we had there, make me go for a 5. Cheers to one of the best places in gurgaon, although more than a tad expensive, so keep it for special occasions. :)

Whiskey Samba is a classy joint, with a beautiful ambience. The staff makes you feel comfortable and welcomes you with warmth.

The welcome drink is unique and tastes brilliant. The pastas are just what you would like to eat after a long day at work or even for a quick lunch.

I would recommend this place for both personal as well as official dine ins

Whiskey Samba

My partner and I decided to have lunch here as it had been on our “must visit” list for quite sometime. The hostess guided us to our table and spoke to us about the Dim Sum set lunch menu, specially curated by talented Corporate chef Vikramjit Roy which we decided to go for without further delay.
As we sat at our table admiring the bright and airy décor, we were given a complimentary drink called the Boarding Pass – a refreshing whiskey based drink. The bar here is one of the well stocked bars in NCR with a wide collection of whiskies and liquors.
Having decided our drinks – a pint of Stella Artois and a cocktail called the Royal Bengal Martini, we were given a printed menu with list of dishes from which we had had to choose from for each course and was fun.
First course was salad – I had the Avacado and Water Chestnut salad and my partner had prawn toast. Beautifully presented both were flavourful, light and refreshing.
Second course was delectable steamed pork ribs and mushrooms for my partner. Again great dishes subtle, sophisticated and a pleasure for the palate and eye.
Then came the dimsums. They were of different shapes, colours and fillings, each unique in its own way and were dumplings of joy which we just kept having with only sounds of satisfaction escaping between them.
I could name and describe them all here – but I suggest that you visit the restaurant and try them out yourself. Simply put the explosions of flavour in your mouth.
Next course were the soups. My partner had a smoked corn soup while I had a drumstick soup. Both the soups were simply amazing in their own way, specially the moringa, very tasty, almost addictive.
Then came the mains with a staple, I had a Poached fish Sichuan peppercorn with stir fried vermicelli while my partner had braised tofu, celery and leeks with stir fried flat noodles. Each dish was exceptional and a perfection in itself both in taste and presentation.
Last, but not the least – Desserts and Tea! My partner had chosen seasonal fruits and Darjeeling Tea while I picked the Coconut ice cream and later a Vanilla Bourbon Tea.
The Dim Sum Lunch is available on weekdays from 12 to 4 PM. This is a great way to relish many dishes at a very reasonable rate of Rs 1,200 AI and a must try for every foodie in the city.
We had an amazing experience with awesome food, great ambience, smart service and all at a pretty reasonable price.
Thanks team, take a bow. We will be back soon. Special respect for Chef Vikram you are a culinary genius. More power to you.

As we all know, Gurugram is packed with crazy party places. But talk about the most trending place and it has to be Whiskey Samba where all the party goers want to head to.

Location: Two Horizon Center (Upper level ), DLF Phase 5, Golf Course Road, Gurugram 

Ambience: It's a cool semi formal place to spend a good evening with friends, loved ones or people from the corporate world

Music : The DJ is amazing. He plays great commercial music. He plays the latest going all the way back to the 90's

Food : While this place has a huge range of whiskeys (you name it and they have it), they could work a bit on adding more items in their food menu. Though the options are limited but I have to admit that the snacks that they do have are delicious. We ordered Nikki's sushi rolls and sliced lamb with herb crumble ( an excellent blend of veg & non-veg)

Love the bar, the decor and the whole feel of the place. It had a great vibe. Highly recommended if you're looking out to chill out with your clan

The first thing that strikes you is the insane whiskey wall. The super curious staff then goes on to seat you and ask specifically if everyone is a whiskey fan. They then serve you the complimentary "Boarding Pass". I'm yet to drink a whiskey cocktail which tastes this good! The ambience is superb as is the food. I just wish they had a bit more variety through. But overall, it's amazing!

The food drinks and ambience, everything was lovely. The only thing we really didn't like was the Avocado Toast. The guacamole in top was great but the bread was really soggy and hard in some places. That was one thing which was like REALLYYY bad. Otherwise we also ordered Sushis, risotto, kale salad and some SUPER TASTY 🍹 cocktails!

We decided to go brunch at Whisky Samba on Sunday. To our surprise, they had a very specific Assamese brunch menu to serve. Skeptical at first, we decided to get it out. Not too expensive, around 2k plus additional 1k for cocktails (and they errr serving fresh mimosas!).

The food to our surprise was really good. It was most def great to try out a new cuisine and the live music made it all even better. The good included a lot of sea food and the main course was very typical, Puri and curries, super heavy but yum.

Good work getting the Assamese brunch together, Whisky Samba!

5 star ambience but 3 star food - while its a good place to have a whisky or wine of any kind, their food is only average. They have a great collection of drinks from any part of the world, however the food and starters are only average in taste. You must understand that they don't make the whisky or wine. They just serve it. Food is their own, which is average.

One of my favourite place to spend a good time with friends and family. Love the ambience at the place and the food is super delicious. I have been to Whisk Samba a number of times and have tried a lot of dishes but my favourites are avacady on toast, spicy chicken leg and sesame chicken for starters. I also really recommend the lamb shanks, tender and full of flavours. I am really impressed by their presentation and the nice twist that they bring to the regular food.

Had heard a lot about the place, and boy the place was totally worth all the hype.

We reached the place at around 8:30 PM on a Saturday night and had asked for a reservation, which turned out to be a wise decision. The place starts getting quite crowded 9 PM onwards so it is recommended to turn up early in order to get a place here.

The ambience, seating and the serving is definitely above par than any fine dining restaurant that I have been to. The seating for most couples was on a long table – with both the partners sitting on either side of the table, this one reminded me of the Western style of fine dining. Although it sounds cramped, it was quite spacious for both people.

We were greeted with a cocktail on the house – it was called boarding pass and was quite a good start with good flavours of whisky and ginger ale. Gets you started on the right note. Next we ordered a Van Gogh Swirls and Smokes, and a Cezanne nahi asaani for my wife. Both the drinks were excellent choices. Hers was more fruity just like she likes it and mine was more flavourful with a nice pleasant after taste.

For food, since we were quite hungry, we went straight for a large plate, it was called Aam Kasundi Fish. Flavorful fish curry with tangy taste along with ghee rice. Must say it was quite commendable and the portion size although small was apt for 2 people.

The servers were always attentive with the ambience and music adding a great deal to the vibe.

It is definitely on the expensive side with couple of drinks and one large plate costing us INR 3K for 2 people – but definitely a place to come back whenever one feels like chilling and splurging.

Had heard a lot about the place from many friends, so went there in the last trip to check out myself.
We made a reservation in advance to avoid last min stress as the place get crowded by 9pm esp. on fridays. The location is nice and with only limited places around its not as crowded as cyber hub or Sec 29 market.

We took outside table, and I must say with nice breeze its worth every minute spent.

They pour liquor from the bottle in front of you, to build the credibility. Besides the regular drinks, wheat beer and whiskey trails are a must try. We didn’t find the food very tempting, therefore only had snacks. Overall, a good experience.

We've done Whisky Samba before, but thankfully this time we had a while and got in early to enjoy the place. Delighted with the weather, we sat outside for the get together with friends.

My friends enjoyed the welcome drink, while I enjoyed an interesting spicy guava mocktail. My drink was something that everyone ordered alcohol with my drink.

In starters we tried 2 interesting dimsums- a veggie in some soya and another one reach was more green. The sushis- veg tempura was good while the kimchi - mango was interesting too. The tofu chilly was good but lacked accompaniments, while the chilly chickenesh dish was something our friend enjoyed.

Dinner was daal and some kulcha, rice and a tasty and interesting spinach gravy.

Overall a delicious though not inexpensive meal.

Whisky Samba is a beautifully done up space with one of the best cocktail menu. The aura of the place and the outdoor sitting literally would steal your heart. We ordered High Maintenance and There’s something about Mary and both were amazing in taste. The flavours were just apt giving you the perfect hit.
Boarding pass, their whisky based drink was on the house and was real good (though I’m not a whisky person).

Ram milan is a fine server. Would recommend asking for him when you visit to serve you. The food’s good overall and so is the ambience and everything else you come to expect with the place.

Cutting one star because the music did not make sense for a half outdoor, half indoor dining primary space. Since there was no dance floor, the music volume could’ve been lowered to encourage a more conversation friendly dinner. Also, the table arrangements are slightly questionable but hey, that’s a management call!

Finally decided to make the trip from one part of town to another to celebrate a couple of occasions together. A promotion, a commissioning of an officer, an IAS preparation finally coming to an end.

Out here with the boys, in the mood to get a few fancy cocktails and then the regular poison down the system. Being greeted and seated with alcoholic welcome drinks named Boarding Passes was just great. Tasted equally great as well. Ordered the following cocktails :
1. Van Gogh Swirls and Smokes
2. Whiskey Samba Sour
3. Mr. Spice and Nice (Plum Oriented Cocktail)

The Whiskey Sour was the one that suited my palate the most with the Spice & Nice blowing me away on presentation. The overall Cocktail experimentation session pleasurable.

The food is where I was taken by surprise! It outdid the cocktails and I wasn't expecting that for even a brief second. Decided to go with a Chicken with Fermented Chilli and Stir Fried Pork Belly.

Taste on POINT! Plating on POINT! Portion size on POINT! Food experience completely on POINT!

The chicken dish is essentially a chilli chicken preparation but with each ingredient being individually flavoured especially the beets.

The show stopper for the evening by far goes to the Pork Belly! Tender yet firm in a sauce that gave me the urges to lick the bowl clean. The rice that accompanied it was of similar fashion. Independent enough to enjoy by itself.

A great place to enjoy a few cocktails with the boys and definitely worth dropping by for a meal if this is the level of food that has to be offered.

Great job guys!

We visited this place for a friends birthday treat, the ambience was quite good and the location of the restaurant is also great.
We ordered poached chicken dumplings, beetroot cutlet(I don’t remember the name of the dish), aam kasundi fish, sushi and chilli mushrooms.
The beetroot cutlet was a new dish for me and it turned out to be amazing. The taste was real good!
Chicken dumplings came immersed in soya sauce and were plated very well.
The sushi and the chilli mushroom were also good.
I would recommend a visit to this place.

It's not every day, you get enthralled by the entire spread. It's not every day that each and every preparation of a brunch spread, impresses us so very much. And it isn't every day, that we eat from a menu by Chef Vikramjit Roy. In fact, at times, I wonder, if it's fair to call my friend a chef. He can easily pass off as a magician. The magic he does with his recipes has a surreal effect on the senses. Some of the regular dishes, often savoured at home, get a delicious avatar, when prepared by him. Now, isn't that magic?

We were lucky to be at Whisky Samba for the Sunday Brunch, recently. First, a couple of interesting facts about the brunch at this place. There isn't a fixed menu. The menu is changed almost every Sunday. And the spread isn't as vast as a typical brunch buffet but each preparation is a hard to miss one. So, go for this brunch with a pretty good appetite.

We started our meal with two salads. Raw Papaya & Chicken Salads. The first thing you will notice about these two preparations is the riot of colours. Colours that add an extra element of freshness on a warm Spring afternoon. Especially, the raw papaya salad had a host of colours, replete with rose petals and microgreens. Talking about the flavours, the salads had a nice mix of subtle flavours, without losing on the signature flavour of the principal ingredients. The chicken, procured specially by chef, had a different level of freshness to it. Loved both the preparations.

I had a Van Gogh, along with this. This cocktail with Laphroig, Jim Bean and a burnt pineapple is for serious whisky lovers. If you like whisky, this is something you will love.

The next starter, is something that my taste buds will remember for quite sometime. Mutton balls wrapped in cabbage leaves, served on a spicy sauce made with mutton broth. If this isn't enough to make you salivate, read on. The best bit about this preparation is the sauce. With a distinctive flavour of mutton, the sauce enhances the flavour of the mutton balls, manifold. Add to it the cabbage wrapped mutton. This is one preparation I had for the first time. And saying that it was love at first bite, won't be wrong at all. Go for it.

Moving ahead, next on our plate was the Beetroot kebabs with a dip that leaves a lingering taste on the palette. Though I am a hardcore non-vegetarian, there's something special about the vegetarian dishes here at Whisky Samba. Case in point being this Kebab. Simple yet everything about the preparation, from its texture to the taste, when had with the dip, is something so very drool-worthy.

Continuing with our starters, the next was Roasted Pumpkin Soup with chicken and bacon strips. Need I say more? I guess so. A thick soup with a bit of chilli sauce, the soup was an absolute delight. Different textures, different flavours of several ingredients came together to give it a complex, delightful flavour. It was such a pleasure to have it that we were reaching for the next spoonfuls, sooner than expected. Also, the fact that it's made live in front of you, keeping your preferences in mind, makes the experience all the more amazing.

Finally, it was time for the main-course.

Mrs. Wong's Lamb

Chicken with black sesame seeds

Kerala Red Rice

Poee

Now, let's talk about the star of the meal. Mrs. Wong's Lamb. Inspired by the recipe of one of Chef's family friends from Kolkata, this preparation had a delightful Chinese flavour to it. Robust in flavours, not too curry'ish in consistency and juicy lamb pieces. We were simply drooling over it. This is a must-must-have preparation. Don't even think of missing out on it.

The Chicken was yet another good preparation. But then since we cook the same dish, back in Assam, I was trying to draw parallels. Maybe the reason I couldn't concentrate much on it. The best bit was, when had with Poee and the red rice, the preparations tasted much better. Loved the combination.

In a nutshell, the brunch was an affair that we will remember for quite some time. Every element came together so beautifully that it was a compliment, our taste buds will take time to forget. Go for it.

Bit expensive but beautiful! They serves very tasty welcome drink(cocktail-whiskey) . Food taste and presentation was up to the mark. Service was also fast. It’s a perfect place for dinner date as well as for group hangouts.

Recently, I had the pleasure of joining my team members for a delicious lunch at Whiskey Samba in Gurugram. The ambience of the restaurant was perfect for a team outing - trendy and upbeat, with a cozy yet spacious seating arrangement. While the food was good, it didn't quite live up to the hype. Nevertheless, the experience was enhanced by the wonderful company of my team members. We shared laughs, exchanged ideas, and strengthened our bonds over the course of the meal. Overall, it was a memorable team lunch that left me feeling energized and connected to my colleagues. I would highly recommend Whiskey Samba as a venue for team outings or any other social gathering

I was in Gurgaon for a day and had to visit Whisky Samba which I’ve heard so much about . I had planned to catch up with a friend over drinks , but ended up having drinks , dinner & dessert . The bar is massive, ceiling to floor & well stocked (There wasn’t any whisky I named & it wasn’t there ) . It’s like “Whisky Paradise “ Try the cocktails too , but be ready to not stop at 1 , they are really good . The food Is mouthwatering. The salmon carpaccio, the pizzas & the Japanese menu are a must try . Make sure to try the desserts , it melts in your mouth. *If you want the best drinks & want to be surprised, ask the staff for Ashish Kapur’s favourite & Thank me later 🥃

Whisky Samba bar is truly magical. It's a great place to let loose, dance, and unleash your energy. You'll find a diverse crowd spanning various age groups, from teens to middle-aged individuals. The food and drinks offered here are simply amazing, and the ambience and vibes are perfect for a memorable night out. While it is slightly on the higher side in terms of pricing, the quality and experience they provide justify the cost.

The only complain I have were the food portion sizes against the prize which was charged. Being a high end restaurant still does not justify the small portions which were served. Other than this the place is a great choice to visit and have a good time. I would definitely rate the ambience and service highly.

Like most of the places in Horizon Towers, Whiskey samba is a fun place with great ambience and drinks. The food is a bit hit or miss. Se of the dishes are great whole some are average, but the presentation is always on point. It's definitely a bit on the pricey side, but that is by design.

A fantastic spot in the heart of Gurgaon. The staff are extremely hospitable and friendly. Given the great ambience, the price of food/beverages is a bargain. We tried various bar bites and the bartender very kindly made me a custom mocktail. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in Delhi-NCR.

Had a great dining experience at Whisky Samba - it was a great vibe, an extensive food and beverage menu, excellent dishes, and solid service. We had the Broccoli and water chestnut dim sum (which were excellent), the Sriracha honey baby corn (which was amazing, and had the consistency of honey chilli potato), and the Tamarind and Thai Chilli Chicken (flavorful and tasty), and the Butter Chicken Samosa (relatively bland, could be infused with more flavor). Overall, Whiskey Samba was an excellent experience, and the backdrop of the bar counter is absolutely stunning. Highly recommend!

So it's a lounge and a bar where they serve good alcohol.. They have a wide range of alcohol and beer 🍻 and a decent bar. I personally love the whole sitting area. We had chicken which at the very first time was not good in taste after that they serve the another one and also we had malai broccoli 🥦 which was quite good.. ambience is very beautiful service was good...

Whisky Samba is your go to place for a chilled out night with friends. The food, drinks collections and ambience is amazing. The only small thing I would point out are the prices! A few dishes and alcohol will burn a big hole in your pocket! And that’s why I have given 4 stars instead of 5. So yea, take a look at the prices before you plan an evening there!

Top class cocktail as always with good mix of service and hospitality. I appreciate when waiters don't bother 200 times and it was like that here. Music could have been slightly less considering place was empty and we were struggling to talk.

Fantastic cocktail bar / restaurant that turns into a nightclub vibe as the night goes on. Food is great, South East and East Asian cuisines paired perfectly with the imaginative cocktail menu.
