IKI & GAI Opens at Sangam Courtyard, RK Puram

Delhi’s food and nightlife landscape continues to evolve with the launch of IKI & GAI, a new all-day diner and cocktail destination located at Sangam Courtyard, RK Puram. Spanning approximately 1,000 sq ft, the venue is designed as a seamless day-to-night space, offering global comfort food and thoughtfully crafted cocktails under one roof.

A Concept Rooted in Two Generations of Hospitality

The venture is led by Sarthak Batra, Co-founder, IKI & GAI, alongside his uncle Vikrant Batra, Co-founder. Bringing together two generations of hospitality experience, the concept reflects a balance between relaxed daytime dining and a lively, social atmosphere as the day transitions into evening.

IKI & GAI aims to appeal to a wide audience those looking for casual lunches and coffees during the day, and guests seeking a spirited bar-led experience after sundown.

GAI: A Bar Program Built on Curiosity and Craft

The bar programme, GAI, has been curated by Sarthak Batra and focuses on a mix of classic cocktails and original signatures. The menu features popular favourites such as Picante, Paloma, and Espresso Martini, alongside in-house creations including Dadi Issues and Brush Hour.

Sharing his vision, Sarthak Batra said: “For me, GAI is about sparking curiosity in every sip. We wanted to create cocktails that are strong, playful, and unpretentious, just like the evenings we imagine here.”

IKI: Comfort-Driven Food Designed for Sharing

The food offering at IKI is led by Vikrant Batra and centres on comfort-driven dishes and sharing plates. The menu includes a well-rounded selection of salads, soups, antipasti, pastas, pizzas, and desserts, making it suitable for both casual meals and social gatherings.

Speaking about the culinary approach, Vikrant Batra said: “Food is at the heart of every great evening. At IKI, we focus on flavour, fun, and sharing. Our goal is to create dishes that match the energy of the room whether it’s a lively night with friends or a quiet afternoon catching up over lunch.”

A New Day-to-Night Destination for Delhi

With its dual identity as an all-day diner and evening cocktail hub, IKI & GAI is set to become a versatile addition to Delhi’s growing casual dining and nightlife culture. Designed to adapt to different moods and moments, the venue offers a welcoming space for both relaxed daytime dining and vibrant evening socialising.

Conclusion

IKI & GAI reflects Delhi’s shift towards experiential dining where good food, well-crafted cocktails, and an easygoing atmosphere come together. Whether for a midday meal or an evening out, this new Sangam Courtyard address promises to be a place worth watching.
