Amazing place for party lovers!!!!
The chefs takes great care in selecting the best quality ingredients. Ambiance was really good. Its is a good place to visit with friends for party. definitely visit again. Manager Mr. Gopal & Chef Mr. Amit is very helpful. Thank you so muchđđđ
This is probably one of the best places in Hauz khas. I tried the Pita dips and pasta arrabiata along with Apple and kiwi sour. The food and drink was good.
This place has the most awesome starters and finger food. Love the fish and chips. Have always liked the roof top ambience and the location with a view of the HKV back drop.
My first love in Haus khas village. This is a cozy place, with good food and great drinks. Especially love the nights they have live music. I reckon they recently went through renovations, looking forward to going back.
One of the first places I went to when I moved to New Delhi . The ambience is nice . There's love gigs that go on at times . It's like the place where u can walk in alone , grab a beer and just enjoy the live music .

As far as the American is concerned, this place is undeniably good but when the talks come to their Italian and Continental preparations, that is when TLR Café portrays its true potentials. They have a nicely designed seating area with well embellished decors and an operational bar that serves a variety of drinks. The staff and service out here is genial and is always open to any suggestions that you might have. Came to know about TLR by the help of Zomato and after reading some positive reviews about it, decided to check it out.
I had the following items here-
Vegetarina Mezze Platter
The Cajâun Burger
Cheese Garlic Bread
The platter was quite filling. The Burger could have been a little more spicy but tasted very fine as well and the garlic bread was also a hit.
For some appetizing foreign grubs, TLR is a great option to go ahead with.

With the help of an elegant ambience and foreign embellishments, TLR café is triumphant in delivering a pleasing look of an American Café. As it houses a fine variety of food items from the Café, Continental, American and Italian cuisine, it manages to attract an decent crowd of foreign cuisine lovers from various corners of the food. Talking about the food quality, this place despite having some obvious flaws in its preparations, manages to be a likeable one altogether. Was in Hauz Khas Village a few days ago and decided to give it a shot.
Ordered the following items-
Cheese and Mushrooms Crepes- Had loads of creamy cheese and tasted good.Â
Vegetarian Mezze Platter- The hummus was a bit unflavored, rest everything was fine.
The Cajâun Burger- Had a finely cooked grilled chicken fillet, tasted fine as well.
That was all that I had TLR and the experience was in no way a disheartening one.
If you are a lover of foreign delicacies, you should give TLR a try.

Great ambience. This is a nice, rooftop cafe in Hauz Khas. I went here a while back. The ambience is very nice and the staff is friendly. They have a large space and a very well done decor. They also have a nice rooftop.
The ambiance of this place is very nice. Had been there a while back. Went there with office colleagues on a weekend. The place was bustling with people. On the weekends it would make sense to reach early and reserve a nice place inside the restaurant. The staff was very friendly though the service was a little slow. They have a large space with nice decor. They also have a nice rooftop although we did not go there.
The food was very nice (we ordered only non-veg) and their menu has a lot of variety (both in food and drink).
Loved it!
PS: They had just one toilet and had a queue (especially towards late evening :) Â ) but it was very clean. I mention it here since a lot of us had to make multiple attempts to gain access.
Went there and had a great time. The food was appealing and very well served. The decor gives the feel of a cafe somewhere in england. Nicely managed and customer friendly service. The food was not only good in taste but was a treat for the eyes too. Must visit.
Great ambience. This is a nice, rooftop cafe in Hauz Khas. I went here a while back. The ambience is very nice and the staff is friendly. They have a large space and a very well done decor. They also have a nice rooftop.
Must try the chocolate pillows. Extremely savoury desert. We had spaghetti and pastas. The food was overall good but the chocolate pillows were excellent. We actually ordered them again!!!
Can go here for that nice, romantic feel and a different interesting decor. The food is overall average. Must try chocolate pillows (okay, I know I have written this thrice, but they were so good!!!!)
I was here a very long long time ago when it initially opened in hkv n I really loved d fact that this was d only bar with open terrace !!! Enjoyed every bit of my time with frens at that time! Dunno if its still the same so will hv to revisit fr further reviews!!!
Well, its overly priced according to me, though the pasta tasted yummy. I love the set up there and everything is very well organised and nicely brought together :)
Lively atmosphere, good food and bright ambience...it's the perfect place for chilling out with your favourite people. The food is great, service is okay too. The place also offers a lot of photo opportunities ;)
Went here a while back on a Sunday afternoon & had my first official Black Russian (drink ;) )
Tasted very smooth & I loved the whole concoction - especially given the coffee angle.
Had the smoked salmon & dill salad which was savoury but not memorable.
More than the food, you'll be mesmerized by the ambience here. Totally laid back, the place has a very retro feel to it. Plus, you're in for a treat on occasions when there is live music.
Overall, lovely place to laze around.

I visited TLR when it was still new. In fact the entire buzz about Hauz Khas Village was created sometime after we visited.. till then it was still a quaint little escape from the hustle and bustle of Delhi. Now it is a major hub of activity and has lost half its old charm. Nevertheless, I think TLR was good then and so it is even now.
The Living Roomâs specialty lies in its very retro, very hip feel. The place has been done up with a careful ease â something I find missing at most restaurants. Theyâre either too laidback or else jumping at you for attention. However TLR instantly brightens you up while at the same time making you all relaxed and thoughtful. The walls are all bright and sunny, lined with well stocked racks of the best classics and contemporary books for readers to pore over. You could also pick up one of the numerous board games that were kept stacked in a corner. There was also a conspicuous peculiarity I observed - a âshowerheadâ serves as the faucet in the washroom. It was quite chic.
They had food and alcohol from around the world on the elaborate menu. We ordered a lot of starters and were full by the time we got to flipping through the main course section, so we conveniently skipped out on that one. When it came to paying up, it cost us quite a bomb, given that we were only 6-7 people. But I guess I'll still visit again, because I enjoyed the experience.
I have totally loved this place, it's a typical filmy place where you can enjoy with some good live music occasionally, the drinks collection is good and the food is also pretty good... the ambiance is well set and you can sit anywhere amongst a crowded place, still feel pretty secluded and can have a private conversation and good time...
The Living room cafe. its a cool place there,s always some live music scene at this place that why i love to visit this place very often but from quite some time no live music. apart from that they serve good food, ambiance is nice to spend evening with some drinks.
One of oldest and best place in village which still serves the best food in the area ,as the name suggests living room ,the ambience is very simple but done in a very elegant way , perfect place to hangout with friends for a quite evening and have a nice conversation
Had heard a lot about this place especially for its decor , which was quite striking. The food was average and the drinks were fine. The biggest plus was the outdoor terrace seating especially in the winter and the calm, pleasant ambience.
Best for weekends with beer and live music or dj mixing music in front of you. Stag entry is difficult on weekends
Food is ok ok. Crowd is good.
Great ambience and music, excellent food, and an all-round go-to for a lazy Sunday afternoon bite and beer. The pizzas here are particularly good, and you can wrap things up with a decadent dessert from Elma's. Personal favourite - their Red Velvet Cake! It's a tad bit on the pricey side, but worth every penny.
Beautiful decor, brilliant place. Love the service! This place has that quaint, vintage appeal to it, which allows you to escape everything for a while! :)
TLR is a great cafe situated in hauz khas village. The best thing I like about them is the events they organize, the music, and amazing crowd that gathers there.
Nominally priced, yet exhilarating experience. You can go and try out non veg items, with a couple of beers. The crowd, music and dance, along with the lighting effects ensure that you'll have a relaxing evening with friends.
The Expat Perspective
+4.5
I love TLR. The drinks are quite expensive, but the ambiance is great. They do tend to close randomly, so maybe don't plan a big event here (as I did), but it's fun to stop by when they're open.
I was introduced to TLR by one of my colleague and since then I have been going there every now and then (sometimes even alone). I still cherish my old good times spent on TLR's terrace, lying down on a bean bag as if I was in my own living room. If you are fond of drinking a Trappist beer like Chimay, TLR is one of the few places in India where you will get it. Vegetarian Pasta is way too delicious and taste different than the usual Punjabi style Pastas available in Delhi. Some people might complaint about the space crunch, but it could be excused on the account that entire Hauz Khas Village has become congested in today's time. Live band (sometimes) is good and service (often) is poor. Still TLR is one of the safest place in Delhi for girls to chillax and will remain close to heart :)
About 2 years back I had heard a lot about this place from the Time Out Delhi editorial team. They had written a great review about the restaurant and used to go gaga about its burger. So TLR was always on my to-do list.
Now here is my experience at TLR. The first time I went to TLR was with a somewhat large group of friends. It was probably the first time I had tasted a bruschetta, and let me tell you, it was incredible! I could actually taste each and every ingredient. The bruschettas at TLR have never disappointed me since!
I love the quirky names they have for the dishes listed on the menu. The porn cuffs are crunchy and yummy and their Hari om pollo is simply delectable. They don't have a chicken lasagne so we ordered the lamb lasagne and it was heavenly!
Honestly I've loved almost everything that I've tried here. TLR is not your regular watering hole but you can surely have a nice time with friends or all by yourself with a book!
Yesterday I went to TLR to have the feel of Easter in HKV and as usual the lane is jam packed with glitz and glamor. I really admire this place for lots of reason, one of them is of-course the crowd.
The food and drinks is far better then the hyped cafe in HKV, won't name here. I have tried their penne pasta along with cosmopolitan, really good. Then we tried their the eggplant dish named as aubergine parmigiana with blue cheese, it was mind blowing, and these are served with hot garlic bread, nice combination.
Later on this evening they turned off the lights and converted this place to discotheque, complete transformation.
Would definitely recommend this place to everyone as it has lot of things to offer.

After places like Bistro and Calipso were closed, TLR came along and offered a great evening experience. Over the years I have seen this place go through many changes, but I will still remember my good times on TLR's terrace, lying down on one of the bean bags and looking at the stars - enjoying the peace which doesn't exist anymore in Hauz Khas Village. For the first few years since its inception, I never saw any "shady" crowd (but things have now changed) and it was the safest place in Delhi for girls to chill and relax, actually it still is.
I have tried many things from their menu and my favorite starters are still "bubba's shrimp", garlic chicken, poppey's prawn skewers and sea biscuits. Their cheesy parcel used to be very good. Good entree items are stuffed pollo, pollo cilantro, sea fruit pasta. Their BURGERS ARE GREAT. For dessert, their chocolate pillows are super.
More than the food, I go to TLR for a great vibe, to catch gigs of obscure artists, to enjoy their happy hours on beer and just to put my hair down and enjoy.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
I have visited this cafe twice in the last 6-8 months.
What is Excellent?
- Food, specially the tit bits, was excellent. Special mention to Bubba's shrimp, Garlic Chicken, alu bites and mushroom parcels (the best!!!)
- Drinks were quite affordable, specially with the happy hours or some special vodka promotion that was going on.
What is Good?
- Music was excellent the first time around. In fact, the music was the sole reason we went back the 2nd time in a very short time. But this time, we got so fed up of the weird American Experimental band (or a similar name) by their 3rd or 4th song. We eventually just finished our meal quickly and left...just couldn't stand what these guys were playing in the name of music (This was a common view on our table of 4-5 people).
- Ambience is quite cozy...literally like your living room. There are some tables better than others which you should grab as soon as you can!
What's Not So Good
- Main course was ordinary, nothing to write about.
- I found the Service to be quite inconsistent. The waiters seem very confused with the special offers, even their assigned tables.
In the end, I thought the place was really good, if it were not for the terrible music (the 2nd time). Will I go back? Yes, but with my fingers crossed for some good music!
Went here a couple of times since the past 2 months, the only comfortable place in HKV where nothing seems to be in a rush, the music is nice, not really my type but the terrace is awesome awesome awesome, cozy and warm with the "angethi's" the food is great, if you're lucky they have some kickass "Chef's Special" the lachedar prawns & special Fries starred only for a week :( Im guessing a new menu is on its way or maybe a new chef is on board or something, the nachos are really nice and very different, very very well made cocktails all the time(Long island ice tea is 6/5 for me). if the staff gets a bit more crisp and attentive i'd give it a 5, coming back in april to delhi hope things are even better coz im gonna be here for 2 years
The Living Room Cafe has been around for quite a while now and it still hasn't lost its charm.
I still visit TLR everytime I go to Hauz Khas village. There are number of cafes and restaurants that have eopned in Hauz Khas village now but I still seem to be drawn to TLR, I guess I stick with the old stuff and hence I love this place.
It's got a cool feel to it, the alcohol is not overly priced and the food is pretty good...great actually.
TLR still tops my list of one of the coolest places to hangout in Hauz Khas village.
went here till chug and chanty freaked the brains out. good beers
Great place to hang out with friends for a laid back and relaxing brunch ...the food's awesome....the chicken burger is absolutely delectable....tad bit overpriced...but still the great ambience makes up for it
TLR is the best place to be when one is in Hauz Khas Village and looking for a place to party. This place comes to you with different music genre everyday and is jam-packed on the weekends. We Discovered this place last winters and make way to this place every now and then, especially when our favorite DJ Suhrid Manchanda is playing and trust me he has really got a great music sense and knows his audience well.
The ambience of the place is as incredible as the french fries. That said, their audio system needs a serious revamp. There's not much place here and on weekends, the place is jam packed. But then, if that is a problem, it also becomes what makes the place what it is. That's probably how it's meant to be.
I'll give the place a 4/5 just because of the vibe. Another point is that their drinks need a serious looking into - the Rum Punch was pretty ordinary and I had to get myself a beer to get rid of the taste.
I am a seasoned hardened singer and film maker from Dehradun, popularly known as Tom Jones of India. Started my career from Super-Club Ashoka Hotel Delhi and have been performing in hundreds of top places in the country like Nineteen hundred Taj,Mumbia,Redchilly Goa, 9th Golden Peacock Film fest in Goa.etc. I am not telling you all this not to show how good am I but simply trying to establish my credibility as as restaurant hopper who knows what he is talking about.
Sometime Back I got in touch with my old buddies Amit Sehgal and Harsh Pratap of RSJ Magzine and decided to meet at the T.L.S. Hauz Khas. Boy! That was great, the music was excellent food was good right crowd. I recommend must go place in Delhi.
Hipsters' paradise! :P
Always a good place to meet creative and alternative new people. Don't feel awkward to go unto a stranger and conversing.. its the Living Room for crying out loud!
Cafe TLR with its amazing interiors is a fascination. It exhudes warmth. The cafe can keep the most curious busy with all the interesting tit bits on their walls, in their bathroom, hanging from the roof, placed on corners, et al.
From the food point of view, the dishes are good but not out of the world. I highly recommend their hazelnut cappuchino amongst hot drinks. They have happy hours on most days. They also have events every other day which keeps things very interesting for the regulars. Their kind of music is unique and has this set fan following. I also found this place romantic in its interiors. It is a beautiful place for a date over a cup of coffee too!
TLR is an amazing artsy place to hang out with your friends. The music is definitely its USP. The ambience is very laid back and the furniture has a touch of art infused into it. It's vibrant in the day and dimly lit at night. The food is delicious and every second Sunday has a pub quiz.
Went to TLR cafe in the evening, the staff was polite and the ambience was comfortable and very urban. The paintings added to the 'living room effect'. Perfect place to hangout with friends, as the staff is not nosy and you get your space. Vegetarian food offering is limited, but sumptuos, tried the veg burger, shroom penne and cheesy parcel. all were good, nothing out of the world though.

The first floor has a few tables and has live music acts on Wednesdays and/or Saturdays. (The best way to keep abreast of events here is via the restaurant's Facebook page, or by calling them.) The second floor is all tables and vintage furniture; it's almost like a non-kitschy version of Mocha. Then there's a terrace right up top, with a view of the smog and the huddle of Hauz Khas flats. Occasionally, a plane flies by.
We sat down to dinner in the middle of the action on a Wednesday "free jam" night. For all the ruckus of music and laughter, the service was always acceptable. We started with a beer and wanted one of their exotic-sounding smoothies, but the latter seem to be unavailable on nights when liquor is being served. An order of fried calamari (served with a slightly spicy sauce, Rs 260) went terrifically with the beer, and the classic bruschetta (Rs 130) was tasty if not authentic.
TLR's menu is long, split into pastas, main courses, "breads", salads, burgers and so on. We settled on fish and chips (Rs 450) and a kingfish steak (Rs 500). The fish and chips were lightly fried, non-greasy and very munchable, served traditionally with pea-mash and mayo. The kingfish steak was very well-seasoned with herbs and would have been delicious had the fish itself been fresher. It was served with cubed potatoes, veggies and linguini.
What was very good was the coffee - we tried an espresso and a cafe mocha (Rs 40 and Rs 90). A hot chocolate souffle (Rs 160) was a run-of-the-mill melting chocolate, but the crepe orangina (Rs 140) was definitely unusual. Vanilla ice cream and some sort of fresh orange sauce is wrapped up in a large, thin crepe. It's not very cohesive, but it tastes exactly like Orangina, the soft drink with orange pulp that has its origins in France. It's unusual, but somehow, not out of place.
This is an amazing artsy place to hang out with your friends. The ambience is very laid back and the furniture has a touch of art infused into them. Even their washroom is worth checking out!
The food is amazing. The french fries in a superb green chutney are one the best I have had. The bruschettas are fresh and delicious. Their mocktails are impressive too. There are some quirky dishes on the menu, but the desserts rule here. You must try their Lemon Cheescake. It really is out of this world!
All in all a great place to talk to your friends for hours & hours and the place also plays some really good music too.
This place is UNBELIEVABLE.
Firstly, a very few of its kind exist in Delhi. Though it isn't located in a very prime location, it gathers the crowd of the ENTIRE SOUTH DELHI. So, one suggestion would be to make a reservation before you go there.
The music is its USP. It magnifies the ambience. On my best friend's birthday they were sweet enough to play 'Happy Birthday' while I sang =) The staff gifted us with champagne, ON THE HOUSE. You are showered with amazing hospitality.
Its beautifully done up. Vibrant in the day and dimly lit at night.
The food is delicious. Worth every penny you pay. People claim that it is over priced, however in my opinion I think it's very decent.
Thank you so much for the amazing evening TLR.
Will be back, again and again.
Awesome food! Definitely worth a visit. Try the Shrimp in the specials section.
All dude and dudettes!! This is one amazing place! Very different and has an interesting ambiance. Food is tasty, I had mushroom penne and really recommend that. The location is good, the decor inside is very comfortable and artistic. Great place to go!
Amazing food! I went there yesterday for an early dinner and had the Shroom Penne pasta - clearly one of the best I have ever had. The chicken soup was also great. The place has great ambience and very good service. In good weather you can also opt to sit outside on the balcony... The only disappointment was the "Green Goblin" drink I had - I would recommend you to never have it :) Otherwise this is one of the best places in South delhi (definitely the best in Hauz Khas village). I think you guys should increase the rating for The Living Room (TLR!)
Nice ambiance and good food
Service was also good , nice place to visit
