As the name suggest, Wok In The Clouds surge above the neighborhood to serve Fine Dining Pan-Asian, Indian and Oriental cuisine to their customers. Located amidst the most popular food lane of Khan-Market, this double-storey Restro makes you actually feel “Walk in the clouds”.

The first level deck opens to a classic living room decor with beautiful long colored Chandeliers on the roof, wooden floors and walls with animated cartoon wall pictures of famous Hollywood characters. You have 2-3 family Cabana tables and a cornered deck for small table seatings. The revolving staircase with dim light and highlighted musical wall displays Cartoon Musicians photo frames, Trumpets and the display of 50 years of Recognition by various Food Industry Accolades.

The beautiful staircase invites you to reach up the clouds to the 2nd floor, which opens on the left to the well stocked bar with bar high chairs and tables on its front and another Cabana table seating arrangement opposite the staircase. We settled on this floor as we were in a group to enjoy their recently launched Summer Menu. This floor has a limited to keep the bar and dance area open for the customers. The stairs on the right has an open perch that offers you to stand out with friends for some private conversation, smoke and enjoy drinks in serenity.

Coming to the Food, we started with their must try Summer Vegan menu and Drinks. In the drinks, I will RECOMMEND 2 drinks that stood out and were absolutely refreshing.

Starlight Bacardi: This was a Beautiful standout drink with orange juice, white rum and spiced. Loved the kick and balanced zing that enlighten the senses.

Kafir Mojito: This was a Mocktail and somehow I love the use of Kafir in Summer drinks. Loved the flavor, depth of Kafir along with mint and lemon juice in it.

To go along we ordered Few Vegan and Few Chef special summer starters too:

Quinoa Salad: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This was a Perfect tangy light salad tossed with cherry tomatoes, basil, broccoli and silver almonds made it a delicious health serve. A must try for health and vegan lovers with deliciousness overloaded.

Sliced Lemon chicken: A MUST TRY!! Another Must try dish that surprisingly seems so simple, yet tasted extraordinarily delicious. The chicken ribbons were pan cooked in a beautiful white lemon sauce that just glazed the chicken so well. Absolutely Delish 👌

Sharabi Tikka: This was the STAR of the afternoon as the Sizzling Chicken Tikka was robustly lit with whisky Flambe flames, which accentuated the flavor of chicken Tikka. The RAZMATAZ actually made this dish worth to order.

Chicken Kemikai: A recreation dish of chicken dumplings and meatballs from the Chef heart. This is a Thai herbed dish with chicken mince, egg, and flavors poached to retain the color of the chicken. Served glazed and on the bed of Thai sweet chilli Oriental sauce, it was nice and aromatic.

Spinach Mushroom Caps: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Another Vegetarian delight, the mushroom caps stuffed with cheese and fried and topped with a creamy spinach pesto sauce that was a mouth melting affair.

Grilled Soul fish in a lemon butter curd mustard marinade: A light and a complete platter comprising of mildly flavored soul fillets served aside with a fusion of lemon butter curd mustard sauce and sauteed veggies was a nice platter altogether.

Sweet and Sour chickpeas with Aromatic Rice:

Another fusion and chef special dish is the Thai variant of Indian Chickpeas curry and zeera rice, but with Thai Sweet, spicy and Thai zing. The rice were mildly flavored and aromatic with Thai herbs and we quite enjoyed...

With all the amazing food options available in Khan Market, it is rather easy to find yourself lost and indecisive. So here's a little tip for you : Go to Wok In The Clouds - I did (and had an AMAZING time).

Location Khan Market.

Parking available. Closest metro station : Khan Market.

Seating and Ambiance Spread over a 2-floor span, Wok has 3 distinct areas : The fine-dine lower floor, the bar+lounge area on the upper floor and an open deck (upper floor). I must also comment on the clever use of strategically placed mirrors along the wall sections that give the property a sense of being larger than it is - no chance of claustrophobia here!

The ambiance is rather "chill" and can accommodate a variety of moods/occasions/scenes - unwind, catch-up, party, meal, etc.

Service The staff is very polite and incredibly adept with a right balance of keeping an eye on the table (to ask when and if we need something) and giving proper privacy and space. They are also very helpful when it comes to giving suggestions for the order.

Food My friends and I had spent a good amount of time looking for a place to eat in (the opening statement of the review is a true story :P) and were pretty much famished by the time we sat down to eat. Naturally, we ordered a good variety of dishes and drinks.

i) Drinks I had 2 cocktails for myself and tried a bit of another one from one of my friends. I had the WHISKEY SMASH and the GANGNAM STYLE – both of which had a good ratio of alcohol while keeping the flavour balanced.

My favourite, however, was the half I shared with my friend. “Shared a half?” you ask. Yes! Their cocktail called the LOVE POTION is actually 2 cocktails with similar flavour bases served together. The idea is that the whiskey portion (yellow) is for the man and the vodka portion (pink) is for the woman. To eliminate any gender prejudices, either portion can be tasted/consumed by either sex (koi aa ke mana nahi karega :P). I loved the concept, loved the presentation and loved how each half had a very clear taste of its alcohol while maintaining a similar flavour.

ii) Food We started with the CALIFORNIA MIX LEAF SALAD which had a chocolate drizzle – unconventional, but tasty!

We had CRISPY BHINDI and PEPPY PEANUTS (tossed with red peppers) to accompany the drinks – both came in good portions and were ample “chakna”.

MUSHROOM CAPS had carved out and stuffed mushrooms and the SICHUAN PEPPER WINGS were tender and flavourful – I couldn’t have asked for better starters.

While I was still on the “couldn’t have asked for better” train of thought, we were served with DAHI KE KEBAB. Now I have a certain love for this snack, but the fact that these were served as popsicle sticks caught me off guard! The simplicity of the concept and the ease of consumption it provided made me want to give someone a standing ovation. However, I settled by quickly finishing my serving to grab the “extra” stick.

The Doonite in me craved momos and we ordered the KURKURE MOMOS. Nicely stuffed and with a really crunchy exterior, these definitely hit the spot.

We concluded the meal with a KULFI PLATTER that had various flavours – I claimed my right to the chocolate one and wasn’t disappointed. The other flavours (I was later told) were good, too.

Conclusion Wok In The Clouds is a must-visit if you’re in Khan Market – they have a good seating space with a great menu and a really cool staff.

Pro-tip : They often have a “specials menu” – be sure to ask about it to taste some really interesting creations from the chef and...

We decided to check out this restaurant post lunch hrs on a rainy Sunday afternoon to enjoy the weather with it's grub & cocktails. I had heard good notions about this one since long!!! Wok in the Clouds shall really transport you to another world with it's quality & diverse food range.

All of us agreed to try veg & non veg appetizers with the drinks due to its odd hrs. The Mango Sangria went really well with European Lettuce Salad which had a chocolate sauce dressing. The unusual choice of sauce with the salad made it tad bit sweet but went well along with sourness of olives & leafy veggies. The Mushroom Caps was a dish that came with a creamy sauce and tantalized taste buds. The cheesiness of the mushrooms combined with spinach sauce gave it an entire background to the dish itself. A must try for the Veggies!!!

Corn & Peas shaker as well as Patiala Kurkuri Bhindi were a pleasing choice with the moist environment and belonged to a crunchier & crispier. As also the Chicken triangles which was a crispy Samosa with dry chicken as it's filling. While 3 of us enjoyed them with a round of Mojito , a couple tried with Oreo & Strawberry shake respectively. As they say, every one has it's own choice of eating and not one can judge for all!! :)

This was followed by Dahi Kebabs, Angara tikka, Sliced chicken in Massanam Sauce & Tandoori Bharwan dum Paneer Kali Mirch. The Dahi Kebabs are a speciality here. The chef does a brilliant job to make it appear like an ice cream lolly. The look is so apt that you would really put one in your mouth. The taste of hung curd underneath is just so captivating. The Angaras were ever so smooth and slightly charcoal flavoured. Bharwan paneer was a dish with two layers of barbecued cottage cheese stuffed with raisins and cashews and garnished by Pepper!!! It was a little sweet and spicy at times and was really nibbled heartily with mint sauce. The Sliced chicken in Massanam Sauce was a beautiful recipe inspired from the persian people. The chicken had burst of spicey sweetness and a slight hint of lime and salt at the end. We gorged upon all these with a Kokum soda which helped us really to wash it all down.

For desserts we had a sizzling brownie and an exotic kulfi platter. The sizzling brownie made me remind of the Hot Chocolate Fudge from Nirula's full of nuts mixed well with hot chocolate sauce and a dollop of vanilla ice cream. The Kulfi platter had a combination of chocolate,rose, mango & coconut flavours which had it's own charm really.

I must applaud the good work put in by the entire staff of the restaurant who are courteous and generous and have brilliant knowledge about the food. Please do visit this outlet once to let you fall in love with the food again &...
