Service, food, ambience and one of the super awesome thing is live music, made my day fabulous.

Old joints helps to refresh your youth,so this place among them, nice collection of beer.Food is ok as i tried sea food during summers, which is slightlly over cooked,but quality of food is conmfortable.
Staff and ambinace is really good for caual dinner.Above all to sit here faving beer in first floor with littel scacks is good to visit with friens and quick bite

Castle 9 is a cozy restaurant that serves a variety of cuisines- Indian,Chinese as well as continental. The quality and taste of food is exceptional. The option of drinks and deserts is also there. They provide happy hour offers too. Location is very good therefore the place has got good clientele even though they are overpriced.

Five stars just for the view this place offers. Not as luxurious interiors as most other places in CP but the atmosphere is great nonetheless. Best to visit in the evening for unbridled view of Connaught Place. It feels like an oasis amidst the chaos of CP. Prompt and non intrusive service, the food is ok and drinks cheaper than at other places.

A friend of mine threw his anniversary party in Castle 9. The food was very good. Place is lovely too. The dj played the best songs that made the mood of the party really light and happy. To top it all the service was great too. I loved the overall experience and I will come back here again when I am in Delhi next.

Went to Knight Restaurant last night for dinner. Loved the food. and service. Continental finger licking, Indian food though was one of the best but could have been a little more spicy. service was good and prompt, even with restaurant fully occupied. But had to wait for 10 minutes to get the seats as the restaurant was full. I think it would have been better to reserve my table before hand. Ambiance was just too good.. loved it... romantic candle lit dinner with my wife, with on demand live band performing... could not have been better... will visit again for finger licking food and awe inspiring ambiance. just loved it..

Nice place to dine out with family and friends. Spectacular views of Connaught Place from the window. Staffs are also very welcoming. Dining options is also limitless. You can enjoy both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian foods here. Interior is little crowdy though. Could be better. There are different spaces to sit and dine or drink. Those who don't drink might find themselves in odd situation.
