A Memorable Evening at Elation, GK1
Last weekend, I found myself wandering through the vibrant lanes of M Block Market in Greater Kailash 1 (GK1), New Delhi. With the evening still young and a mood to unwind, I decided to step into Elation, a progressive lounge and bar thatās quickly becoming the new favorite in Delhiās nightlife scene. From the moment I walked in, I had a good feeling about the place. It struck me as the ideal spot for anyone who appreciates vibrant vibes, delectable food, and expertly crafted cocktails!
Plush Ambience & Alfresco Magic
Elation exudes charm. The plush interiors welcomed me, and the option of indoor and alfresco dining was perfectāwhether you're in the mood for cozying up inside or enjoying the evening breeze. With soft, ambient lighting and elegant decor, the vibe felt like a smooth blend of sophistication and relaxation.
Adding to the magic, live singing performances happen every alternate day, and although I missed the live music this time, the in-house DJ was spinning some fantastic tracks that kept the energy high throughout the evening.
Spellbinding Drinks & Appetizers
I started the night with two of their signature cocktailsāa Whisky Sour and a delightful concoction called Tikki-Day. The latter was an absolute winner! Made with Gold Rum, Dark Rum, Passion Fruit, Vanilla Syrup, and Pineapple Juice, it was a tropical explosion in every sip. Both drinks were perfectly balanced, showcasing the creativity of Elationās mixologists.
For appetizers, I indulged in the Dahi Ke Kebab, a crowd favorite for good reason. It was rich, creamy, and melted in my mouth. The Classic Chicken Gyoza was equally delightful, with juicy chicken filling wrapped in perfectly steamed dumplingsāsimple yet flavorful.
Mains That Impressed
The mains elevated the evening even further. I went for a mix of Chicken Changezi and Dal Makhni. The Chicken Changezi was aromatic, with tender pieces of chicken simmered in a mildly spiced gravy. It paired beautifully with the naan and had just the right hint of smokiness. The Dal Makhni, creamy and comforting, rounded off the meal perfectly, satisfying every craving for classic North Indian flavors.
Service That Stands Out
The staff at Elation were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They ensured the food arrived promptly and checked in regularly to see if everything was to my likingāa gesture I always appreciate.
Final Thoughts
Between the premium range of Shisha, great cocktails, and upbeat vibe, Elation offers a well-rounded lounge experience. Whether youāre looking to catch up with friends over drinks or enjoy a leisurely dinner with some music, this place has it all. I left feeling refreshed and relaxed, with every intention of coming back soon.

I was stunned how amazing sea food tasted here. Chilli fish and prawns were way too amazing. Gaulati kebab were little too spicy. Momos were really amazing with dips. Stardish of the menu was KEEMA PAV. Not only it was beautifully presented but what a taste. I would highly highly recommend this dish to order. In Main course we ordered Chicken khurana and handi mutton with Garlic naan and butter naan. Mutton was top notch amazing and cooked to perfection. Chicken was soft and flavorful and less spicy.
