Discover unhurried afternoons for relaxed daytime dining at this Chanakyapuri, New Delhi restaurant, inspired by the fabled Silk Route.

The inviting interiors of Silq

Located on Malcha Marg in the heart of Chanakyapuri, Silq’s calm, thoughtfully designed space offers a welcome pause for women during the chilly Delhi winter, with its Ladies’ Luncheon.

Jhinga Kunafe

With its soft lighting, warm textures and a sense of quiet luxury, the cozy restaurant feels especially suited for long lunches where conversations unfold at their own rhythm.

Galauti kebab

The lunch experience is anchored by Silq’s signature menu, inspired by regions once connected by the ancient Silk Route, from Samarkand to Shahjahanabad (Old Delhi), where textiles, spices, flavours, and culinary stories travelled back and forth, influencing each area that it passed through.

Sarai Gosht Dum Biryani

The dishes are layered, comforting, and balanced, ideal for leisurely afternoons. Highlights include the Silq Nehari, slow-cooked lamb infused with saffron and kewra; the Tandoori Bharwa Gucchi, delicately stuffed morels with earthy warmth; and the Sarai Gosht Dum Biryani, sealed and served traditionally, releasing fragrant notes at the table.

Sunaar Ras

For drinks, guests can sip on the Sunaar Ras, a whisky-based cocktail infused with rose water and finished with gold vark, or opt for lighter, botanical offerings like Bazaar-e-Kanji, which brings together beetroot, guava and subtle ferment notes which feel refreshing yet layered.

Shahi Tukda

Desserts such as the Shahi Tukda, rich with rabri and saffron or the delicate Baklawa paired with Persian pecan gelato, offer a gentle, indulgent close to the meal.

From Samarkand to Shahjahanabad, the Silk Route carried the flavours expounded by Silq Delhi

More than a lunch, Silq’s Ladies’ Luncheon is about connection, a space for friends, colleagues, mothers and daughters and women-led circles to gather, share stories and enjoy time together in an atmosphere that feels composed and welcoming.
