Playground, Delhi
What does a lounge, a food truck and a speakeasy have in common? That’s a question one may well ask about this JW Marriott New Delhi property. Walk across the foyer, pass Akira Back’s restaurant, and you arrive at their newest venture—Playground. A mishmash of styles, Playground tries to offer different experiences to patrons—from the casual to the elusive.
The first thing that caught our eye was the food truck, parked across the lounge. It’s not the truck per se but the vibrant graffiti on it that draws you. Yogesh Saini (of Delhi Street Art) has used blues, pinks and reds to brighten the mood. Unlike in cities such as Austin and New York where such trucks, each with specialty foods, are part and parcel of everyday work life, the concept is still growing here. The one in Playground offers an assortment of snacks on the go. Choose between falafel or hot dogs, or upgrade to Canadian poutine among other options.
