A Memorable Evening at Dramz, Qutab Minar, Delhi
This was my first visit to Dramz, located right opposite the iconic Qutab Minar in Delhi, and let me tell you, the setting is the real star here! If you snag a spot on the rooftop’s outdoor seating, you’re treated to a stunning view of Qutab Minar glowing under evening lights—a sight that’s pure magic. Here’s the full scoop from my dinner with four others.
Ambiance and Qutab Minar View
The main draw of Dramz is its unbeatable location. Sitting on the rooftop, facing Qutab Minar, you feel like you’re dining with history (check my pics and video!). But here’s the catch: you only get this view from the outdoor rooftop seats, so book ahead! Winters are the best time to visit, as Delhi’s summer heat can make outdoor dining uncomfortable, even with their sprinkler fans trying to cool things down. For the ultimate experience, arrive just after evening—Qutab Minar is beautifully lit until 9:15–9:30 PM. Miss that window, and you’ll lose the spectacular glow. If you tire of the view, head to the ground floor for live ghazals and performances, which add a lively vibe to the indoor seating area. The overall ambiance is decent but not luxurious—think cozy with a touch of charm.
Food Quality
We ordered a special pizza, garlic and cheese bread, and pasta (see my pics!). The garlic and cheese bread stole the show—crisp, cheesy, and packed with garlicky goodness, it was hands-down my favorite. The pizza was flavorful, with a unique twist that made it stand out, though it didn’t quite match the bread’s wow factor. The pasta was solid but not memorable. Overall, the food was tasty, but the garlic and cheese bread is what I’d come back for.
Seating and Comfort
The seating, especially outdoors, is manageable but not the comfiest. The rooftop chairs could use more cushioning for long meals, but the view makes up for it. Indoor seating on the ground floor feels cozier, especially if you’re there for the live music.
Service
The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and quick despite the busy evening. The staff made our group of five feel welcome, and their efficiency added to the pleasant experience.
Facilities
Washrooms: Available on the ground floor (a single unisex one) and first floor, clean but basic.
Parking:
Convenient valet parking is offered, a big plus in the crowded Qutab Minar area.
Accessibility:
The rooftop requires climbing stairs, which might be tough for some. I didn’t notice a lift, so check with the restaurant if mobility is a concern.
Cost
Dramz isn’t budget-friendly. For our group of five, without a full-course dinner (just appetizers and mains), the bill came to ₹1,300 per head (total ~₹6,500). It’s on the pricier side for the portion sizes, but the unique location and view justify it for a special outing.
Overall
Dramz is a gem for its jaw-dropping Qutab Minar view, especially from the rooftop in winter evenings when the monument glows. The garlic and cheese bread was a highlight, with the pizza and pasta holding their own. Service is fabulous, but seating comfort and ambiance could be a tad better. The high cost and limited washroom setup are drawbacks, but the live ghazals and valet parking add charm. If you’re planning a special dinner with a view, hit Dramz just after sunset—but book early for those rooftop seats!
