Opening on 19th September 2025 at The Grand, Vasant Kunj, Dramique introduces a new dining format to India — a venue that combines contemporary cuisine with live entertainment in a purpose-built, immersive setting. Inspired by international concepts like Lío Ibiza and The Theater Dubai, Dramique is positioned as a hybrid between a restaurant, bar, and performance space. The concept has been developed by Creative Director Samir Sehgal, whose background in design and hospitality informs the venue’s carefully considered atmosphere.
Design & Space
Dramique’s interiors blend theatrical elements with upscale dining aesthetics. The main dining room seats 97–105 guests, with an additional 50–60 seats on an outdoor patio. Design elements include jewel-toned upholstery, mirrored surfaces, and sculptural lighting. A central stage — subtly integrated into the space — sets the tone for the evening, evolving from dinner service into live performance.
Dining Concept
The menu focuses on contemporary European cuisine with Asian influences, structured to complement the changing energy of the evening. Guests can choose between an à la carte selection or a chef’s tasting menu. Dishes are plated with attention to detail and designed to be shared, with pricing for a full experience for two — including drinks and entertainment — starting around INR 10,000.
Options include items like truffle ponzu carpaccio, nori-spiced tuna tartare, and dumplings with bold, regional flavours. Service follows a Service à la Française approach, offering a more communal and abundant presentation style.
Beverage Program
The bar menu features cocktails crafted with a mix of Asian-inspired flavours and global techniques, developed under the guidance of Mixologist Vivek, who brings experience from international bar programs. The wine list is curated by award-winning sommeliers and focuses on lesser-known, character-driven labels.
“We approach the drinks program with the same structure as the performances — each drink is built to enhance the mood,” says Vivek.
Live Entertainment
As the evening progresses, Dramique transitions into a performance-led format. Entertainment is integrated into the dining flow without formal announcements or staging breaks. Vocalists, dancers, and performers appear throughout the night, with the atmosphere becoming more vibrant toward later hours.
Programming & Events
Beyond regular service, Dramique will host monthly showcases highlighting emerging talent in music, design, and performance. The venue also includes private lounges for small gatherings and collaborative events.
“We wanted to create a space that evolves over the course of the night — not just visually, but in energy and intent,” says Sehgal.
