A Night Among the Clouds: Zylo by KakapoThere's something rather magical about discovering a rooftop bar that doesn't simply trade on its views but actually delivers on the promise of a complete experience. Zylo by Kakapo, perched atop the Ambawatta One Complex in Mehrauli, is precisely that sort of place.I'll confess to a certain skepticism when I first heard about it. Delhi has no shortage of rooftop establishments, and most seem content to serve overpriced drinks while relying entirely on their Instagram-friendly vistas. But Udit Bagga, the restaurateur behind this venture, appears to have understood something that eludes many of his competitors: a great view is merely the starting point, not the destination.The name itself is rather charming. The kakapo—that curious "owl parrot" of New Zealand—is a bird that walks like a duck, stands like a penguin, and peers at you with the face of an owl. That such a gentle, endangered creature should lend its name to a sophisticated Delhi bar might seem incongruous, but there's a certain whimsy to it that sets the tone for the evening ahead.I arrived just as dusk was settling over the city, and the first thing that strikes you is the view of the Qutub Minar, beautifully illuminated against the darkening sky. But what keeps you there isn't the monument—it's everything else. The space itself has been designed with considerable thought. Illuminated mushrooms glow softly in corners, and there's what they call a "magical tree" that does indeed create the impression of dining in some enchanted garden rather than in the heart of one of Delhi's most chaotic neighborhoods.The cocktail program here is serious business. The Guzzling Geisha, my first drink of the evening, was a revelation—gin shaken with California grapes, basil, agave nectar, and hibiscus tea. It sounds like it might be trying too hard, but the execution was flawless. The flavors were clean and distinct, each ingredient pulling its weight without overwhelming the others.The Picante, which followed, was equally impressive. Tequila with cilantro, agave, and jalapeño—the kind of drink that could easily become a muddled mess in less capable hands. Here, the heat was measured, the herbaceousness of the cilantro cut through beautifully, and the agave provided just enough sweetness to balance everything out. I'm told the new beverage menu features cocktails made with ingredients that have been infused in alcohol for extended periods, and you can certainly taste the difference. These aren't drinks thrown together at the last minute; there's genuine craft at work.The food menu is what they're calling "contemporary multicuisine"—a term I normally find deeply suspicious. It usually signals a kitchen that can't quite commit to any particular tradition and ends up doing nothing particularly well. But Zylo manages to avoid that trap. The Khao Suey I started with was properly fragrant, the coconut milk enriched with Thai herbs, topped with fried onion, garlic chips, coriander, and those essential crispy noodles. I had mine with prawns, though chicken, vegetables, or a boiled egg are all on offer.The menu roams freely across continents—Peruvian chicken skewers, prawns ala gambas, tempura asparagus sushi, chicken and shiitake dim sum. It's the sort of eclecticism that could feel scattershot, but the kitchen appears to understand the connecting thread: clean flavors, quality ingredients, careful execution. The new menu emphasizes small bites and finger food, which makes perfect sense for a bar setting where you want to graze rather than commit to a full meal.Kakapo, the second-floor restaurant, has long been one of Mehrauli's more reliable dining destinations. With Zylo, Bagga has created something complementary but distinct—a space where you go for the cocktails and the atmosphere first, with food that's good enough to keep you there longer than you'd planned.As the evening wore on and the bar filled with Delhi's usual crowd of good-looking people taking photographs of their drinks, I found myself rather enjoying the whole affair. It's easy to be cynical about places like this—the calculated whimsy, the global menu, the inevitable Instagram posts. But when it's done with this much attention to detail, when the drinks are this good and the food actually tastes of something, well, cynicism seems rather churlish.Delhi needed another rooftop bar rather like it needed another traffic jam. But a rooftop bar that actually understands what it's doing? That's considerably rarer than the kakapo itself.
