The Grub started with Hanami Cocktails " Kyotie Cutie" made up of Gin, Fresh Pomegranate, Rosemary and Sour Mix. This Cocktail will truly reminds you of of spring subtleness. Another Cocktail, which accompanied the mains was "Shinjuku Fizz". A Gin concussion with fresh gooseberry, peach schnapps, lime and tonic had sublime taste, yet bold flavours.

Accompanying the Cocktails, The Grub started with two Freshly done Greens, "Beet and Artichoke Salad" comprising Marinated Artichokes and cured beets, tossed greens in a plum dressing. The second green, "Grilled Asparagus and Rocket Salad" were served with crisp lotus seeds in apple and daikon radish dressing. Both the salads had the perfect balance of textures, flavours and freshness in dressings. Going perfectly along with the Cherry Blossom seasons these salads were Plates of Fresh Art.

The Sushi Bar brought best of Hanami specials on our table and I must say, they are the best in town. Curated especially keeping in mind the Indian Palate, and served along with Galangal and Wasabi that tantalize your taste buds with surprise of robust Flavors. We had " Mango and Avocado Cream cheese roll", an exotic piece of art, this sushi is layered on top with Fresh Mango, cream cheese, asparagus, tanuki fritters and served with  kimchi sauce. We also tried "Kari Kari Sushi Roll" that had crispness of Kari Kari on outside stuffed with creamy yellow tail filling.

This was followed by Chef Recommended Appetizers,"Sakura Wood smoked chicken wings", which reminded of glazed peking duck that is delight to look at. The smoky flavours of Cherry blossom wood created an Amalgamation of crispy skin and aromatic blossoms in this dish. Served with Rock salt and lemon, these wings recreated the Hanami feel around. Not to miss, "Prawn Pirikara" added the flamboyance to the appetizers glory. Crispy prawns tossed in creamy chilli bean sauce and served with crab crackers was an exquisite preparation and appetizing too.

What's the first outlet that comes to your mind when you think of Sushi, Sashimi, or Ramen? If you answered Guppy, chances are that your guess is as good as mine!

Up until a few years ago, many believed that Japanese cuisine was all about raw seafood. Guppy broke this stereotype by introducing a range of delicious vegetarian food with an emphasis on freshness and quality ingredients.

By focusing on veggie delights like the rock corn tempura or the chili lime dressed agedashi tofu, Guppy has very well understood the pulse of its customers! Guppy is hailed for a series of popular vegetarian dishes like the snow peas, beans, and wood ear mushroom salad in walnut dressing, the Gluten-free mushroom and asparagus gyoza, and the Karashi vegetable casserole.

Personally, each time I have visited Guppy, there has been some element of surprise waiting to be unveiled ... and for that reason alone, I keep coming back for more!

Presenting authentic Japanese cuisine in ways you'll find intriguing and exciting, Guppy's menu has potential winners like the udon noodle soup, the slow-braised pork belly, and the signature miso black cod.

The brainchild of famous restaurateur AD Singh, Guppy has been developed in collaboration with JRG Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., a company that has been in the restaurant business since the '50s.

At the helm of affairs in Guppy's kitchen is the award-winning chef Vikram Khatri, whose culinary skills are fiercely devoted to freshness, hygiene, and technique. His offerings at Guppy are solely inspired by Japan, with bold striking flavors and emphasis on making most dishes from scratch.

Wish to taste the spicy, the tangy, and the exotic all in one bite? Ask Vikram to pamper you with the all-new winter menu he has curated for Guppy. Vikram's style embodies four essential elements of cooking - harmony, tradition, wisdom, and balance.

Spread over 2,200 square feet in the carpet area, Guppy comes alive like a playful wonderland in a modern setting. I've never seen such a stunning play of colors in any other Japanese restaurant in Delhi NCR. Kudos are in store for noted designer Anshu Arora who has carefully designed every element with original custom fabrication by artists and vendors. If God is in the detail, then every piece put together by Anshu needs to be applauded, be it the ceramic rose knobs or custom-made tiles for the pillars. The use of Origami and metal to make lights was very clever I felt!

Most iconography at Guppy is anime-inspired, reflecting onto the fabric, sculptures, murals, and lights. A Manga artist was hired to work on the column figures, murals, and window art. From solar-fired heart shaped tiles to lighting and fixtures, everything was custom-made and designed for Guppy.

The restaurant has two distinct dining areas, a bar, and a courtyard. When you enter the big dining area, don't forget to check out the live sushi counter. Other significant attractions are the two specially sculpted metal lion fish lights, Japanese kokeshi dolls, vintage cameras, old tiffin boxes, and many more Japanese memorabilia scouted from antique shops.

The beautiful courtyard has an anime-inspired sculpture, smaller tree lightboxes, a huge mural, candle lighting, and casual seating centered around a tall Frangipani tree reaching for the skies.

Guppy is a comfortable, playful wonderland where every Japanese dish is a revelation. Come, experience it...

Guppy is one of the places who makes place in heart for their contemporary architecture and warm,bright interiors coupled with Anime theme decor. This is a Japenese restaurant with a state of art sushi bar.The informal interiors comprising a mix of Japenese and Indian artifacts,hanging lights,hanging Smiley's and a vibrant ambience makes it a perfect place to celebrate food. We tried their new "hanami menu".They have curated a set menu comprising salads,sushi,ramen bowls and much more. Started with an interested cocktail which doesn't taste like a cocktail. "Ninja slash" was my first choice as suggested by the knowledgeable staff, comprising soju,kiwi,yubari melon and lime. Soju is interestingly clear and colourless alcohol of Japanese origin which was added in this slush, naturally flavored by kiwi.It was something most needed in a hot may afternoon. Complimented the drink came "beet and artichoke salad"

The salad was made out of fresh greens with well marinated artichokes and blanched beets.The microgreens and plum dressing made it a delight to relish. Next was "sakura wood smocked chicken wings",a very authentic,with skin preparation served with salt and best part is that it's home smocked with cherry blossom wood. "Kari kari sushi roll" has surprisingly crunchy Kari kari crisps in the outer layer.It has yellowtail stuffing inside.

"Mango and avacado cream cheese roll" is the most appealing,exotic and finest sushi not to forget mentioning the accompaniments like wasabi and galangal and fish sauce which are authentic and displayed the attention paid to finer details.

The Main course was "two way grilled chicken" , "Parchment baked market fish" and some sticky rice. The two way grilled chicken had chicken roulade made from chicken breast and chicken leg pieces . The breast part was served with teriyaki sauce while leg part was served with black bean sauce along with sauteed exotic veggies. The baked fish was cut open on table,had aroma and flavor of Japanese plum,sake and was chilli glazed. Both went like hand and glove with sticky rice. The entire gastronomic affair was a treat to taste buds. The dreamy lunch ended with larger than life "Tokyo honey toast". The dessert celebrated the flavours of strawberry cheesecake ice cream, chocolate ice cream, matcha,caramel,wafers on a traditional honey toast and was glazed in buttercream. A dessert which is simply out of this world and full of flavors. "Guppy" doesn't fail to surprise us with class apart service,ambience and taste which suits Indian palate too.Its going to be a frequent for its offerings and world...
