Snacks? Multi-course meal? Drinks and Hukka? Party and dance? A short break after shopping dirt-cheap books?
If it's any of the above that you want and are in the PVR Anupam area - Locale is the place to be!
Location 2nd Floor (above Pind Baluchi), near PVR Anupam (Saket).
Nearest metro station - Malviya Nagar (hardly 800m away)
Parking - Available
Seating and Ambiance Locale is spread over two floors with the lower floor having a dedicated dance area (with an overhanging DJ console) and the upper floor sporting a really comfy niche with a selection of books.
Both floors have comfortable seating with a mix of sofas and chairs.
The ambiance is pretty chill (for lack of a better adjective) with a variety of music genres on playback. The interiors amplify the "cool factor" with a wide variety of pop-art posters and graffiti.
And oh! They have a spiral staircase that makes for an excellent photo-op (as long as your camera works well in low light :P).
Service The staff is polite and helpful, and pretty attentive to the customers' needs.
Food Locale has a wide variety of eatables and beverages and we, being a big group, ordered a little of everything to diversify our experience.
Also, since we had a LOT of dishes (and most of them were good), I'll try to be concise with the descriptions.
CHAK DE FATTE A concoction of a variety of alcohols with a balanced flavour and a coloured highlight (we ordered two and got one blue and one green).
LIIT A classic made well.
FERERRO ROCHER SHAKE Thick and chocolaty (with some peanut butter on request).
DUDHEE DAHI KE KEBAB Soft and flavourful!
MUSHROOM CORN CIGAR Crispy and delicious (but almost no corn).
FALAFEL WITH HUMMUS The Falafel was perfect but the hummus was slightly runny.
MUTTON GALOUTI WITH ULTA PARANTHA Soft, melt in the mouth and flavourful.
GRILLED CHICKEN KAFTA Served with garlic butter and pita, we had divided opinions about this one (I liked it though).
STRING CHICKEN WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE An interesting preparation that surprised me with just how tasty it was! A must order!
CHICKEN TACOS WITH SALSA AND SOUR CREAM Crunchy tacos loaded with toppings!
VEG EXTRAVAGANZA PIZZA "Why a veg pizza?" is what I asked first. "Can we order one more?" is what I asked later.
DAL MAKHANI MUTTER MUSHROOM MAKAI MASALA CHICKEN BOTI MASALA VEG DUM BIRYANI WITH RAITA AND SALAN ASSORTED BREADS
The above made up our main course and were all cooked to perfection - absolutely no complaints with anything!
We ended the meal with two sinful desserts : TIRAMISU MOLTEN LAVA
How were they? I believe "sinful" sums it up.
Conclusion : Locale is a place you must definitely visit (and I'm sure that you'll visit again).
Pro-tip : They often have combos and special offers - be sure to ask...
Read moreLocale holds a 4+ rating and is deemed to be one of the best in Saket. I've been to the best bars in town and the concoctions they offer at the same price or less than what the Locale charges, are edgy and spot-on.
After spending a sunny afternoon with my friends in a cafe, we all thought of going out for drinks. Locale seemed to be a good option as it was near and had a pretty good rating. It was a Saturday evening and the place was empty. We occupied a huge table at the top most floor and ordered a few Cocktails/Beers and French Fries. My picks were Dark House, Cosmopolitan, and Martini Rosso (Sweet). I can't comment on Martini Rosso as it's a straight-up drink while Cosmo and Dark House are the mixtures. Well, how should I put this, I've never ever cribbed about paying for drinks. They are over-priced and there is no element to give them an extra point. One more negative, the staff is stiff with no smiling faces at all, which makes them a little unwelcoming.
Locale is a bit pricey for my pocket and frankly speaking, I wasn't impressed...

We ordered following items:-
Mars shake- It was not that thick and was decent im taste. Fresh cumin was a refreshing drink and is recommended.
Green strip pizza is a veggie thin crust pizza good in taste. Chicken tikka masala tasted good with laccha parantha.
Mushroom corn cigar was filled with cheese and corn but outer layer could be a little thinner.
Crispy lotus stem red pepper dry was crispy and very good in taste. This was certainly best form of lotus stem i have had till now.
Grilled chetinad chicken skewers were good it taste.
I did not like Andra mutton style as mutton was sticky. This can be improved a lot.
In desserts tiramisu was very well made and was delicious. Overall it was a...
