On a Sunday, I drove from Noida to Delhi with a friend from the media. Usually, this journey deserves its own survival story—horns, jams, and the eternal battle for lane space. But that day, the roads were clear, already a small win.

Odella in Green Park nods to Renaissance art without turning into a museum piece. The interiors have drama that lets you breathe, making you curious rather than intimidated. From my seat, I could see lady bartenders at work and a DJ console hinting at how the space transforms after dark. The tables are set apart enough to keep conversations private—something rare in Delhi.

The Prawn Dynamite arrived crisp, with sesame and a punchy sauce. The Chilli Oil Chicken came alive with Sichuan pepper, while the Mansa Ghee Roast layered roasted spices, coconut, and heat beautifully. Cocktails were playful without being gimmicky—the Venice Sunset with berries and jasmine gin, the Italian Peninsula with limoncello, and the Renaissance with vodka, plum wine, and yuzu, which became my clear pick.

The Linguine Three Chilli Aglio e Olio was bold and addictive. The Koni Chicken Biryani, though tasty, felt more like a reinterpretation than the Kerala original. Desserts wrapped it up neatly: the Biscoff Tres Leches brought cinnamon-caramel comfort, and the Burnt Cheesecake with chocolate sauce was indulgent simplicity.

The drive back was the perfect coda—light drizzle, Shah Rukh Khan songs, and my friend asleep in the passenger seat. You set out thinking of food, but the real memory is the easy flow of the evening. Odella added to that rhythm, making it worth the trip.
