If you’re looking for spaces that are biophilic (i.e. bring you closer to nature) when you dine out, these restaurants in Delhi offer greenery, delectable food, and much more. By Anushka Goel
In recent years, there has been a greater shift in eating clean and revisiting green spaces, even when one is dining out. A lot of it has come about with the pandemic, as people were confined to their homes and turned to nature for some much-needed calm, adorning their homes with greenery.
So, in the last few years, several office spaces, malls, hotels and even restaurants have incorporated a biophilic design into their interiors – it could be growing trees in the middle of the hotel or even adding plants to already-done up places. Apart from the aesthetic value, these additions add greenery to the interiors, along with a cool, comfortable vibe and a greater sense of calm. So, if you’re looking to dine out at places in Delhi that have plenty of greenery, we’ve got you covered.
