A Taste of Elegance and Charm: Illusion Delhi at MGF Mall, Saket
Delhi's vibrant culinary scene is known for its diverse range of dining options, and Illusion Delhi, a lounge and bar located on the first floor of MGF Mall, Saket, adds an exquisite touch to the city's food and beverage landscape. With 150 covers and a stunning rooftop seating area, this hidden gem offers a unique and memorable experience. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Illusion Delhi and sampling their delectable offerings. Here's a glimpse of my delightful experience at this enchanting establishment.
Ambiance and Setting
Illusion Delhi welcomes you with a blend of sophistication and modernity. The interior exudes a warm and inviting aura with its tasteful décor and comfortable seating. However, the highlight of this place is undoubtedly the rooftop seating. As I ascended to the rooftop, I was mesmerized by the panoramic views of Saket and the sparkling city lights. The rooftop's ambiance is perfect for an evening of relaxation and camaraderie, making it an ideal spot for various social gatherings.
Cocktail Bliss: Luv Bite
My evening began with a delightful surprise in the form of the "Luv Bite," a vodka-based cocktail that's a real showstopper. This refreshing and visually appealing concoction is a must-try for cocktail enthusiasts. The combination of flavors and the presentation added to the overall experience.
Appetizers to Whet the Appetite
To start, I opted for the Amritsari fish and tandoori chicken, and I must say, they did not disappoint. The Amritsari fish was crispy on the outside, with tender, flavorful fish inside, and the tandoori chicken was perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. These appetizers set the stage for the gastronomic journey that followed.
Mains That Impress
For the main course, I indulged in the classic butter chicken served with laccha paratha and butter naan. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, making it a comfort food lover's dream. The accompanying bread added a nice texture contrast to the dish. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that you'll leave satisfied.
Sweet Finish: Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Essence
A meal at Illusion Delhi isn't complete without a sweet ending. I opted for the vanilla ice cream with chocolate essence, which was a delightful combination of creamy vanilla and a hint of chocolatey goodness. It provided the perfect sweet note to conclude the dining experience.

We went for dinner, not a single guest was there in lounge/bar, still we decided to have our dinner.
Ordered amritsari fish, which was very bland and without spices. We also ordered chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. Garlic naan was good and fresh, however chicken tikka masala was too heavy, not sure of what kind of spices and oil was used which bloated our stomach.
We also saw big rat running from one end to another in their lounge area, while paying the bill we asked for mouth fresher and server said we do not have it....And surprisingly they charge 10% service charge for such service and ambience.
–-----–---------------------------------- We planned dinner night with family and took open sitting on terrace. Sitting was good and comfortable with easy access to walk and move. They have places to get yourself clicked as well.
Coming to food, we ordered soya malai chaap, kadhai paneer, rice, fresh lime soda.
Soya malai chaap was best but had only 4 pieces, which were quite less quantity.
Kadahi paneer was made using paneer lababdaar gravy as it was made up of cashew nuts,not sure why.
Fresh lime soda was good. Service was very very slow even when restaurant was empty.
FYI - they also charge 10% service charge even when service...
Read moreCelebrated my anniversary at illusion after reading all the good reviews of this lounge and bar. However, I would like to share my experience. Food was tasteless and over cooked. Chicken was hard I think they served leftover chilli chicken from the previous party. Fish fingers and drums of heaven were literally burnt. Only dish which was decent is spring rolls, rest everything was horrible to see as well as eat. They didn't even serve butter chicken which was part of our party package DJ plays pathetic music. They only believe in loud music and they don't care about the audience whether they are liking the music or not. DJ Maggy is rigid and only works as per his choice. Service was bad, we had to go and each time to them asking them to serve. When you go and book them, they will treat you very nicely but at the time of party they don't care about service. I wonder if there reviews are paid ones?? I would not recommend this place for partying as the food and service will definitely spoil yur mood and you will spend your money on bad food, bad music and poor...
