Shiro clearly takes inspiration for its decor and prices from Buddha Bar, a branch of which has also opened its doors in Delhi. A vibrant Oriental playhouse than traverses between a restaurant, bar and club post 10pm, Shiro's strength lies in it positioning and of course, its location. With a revamped LAP next door and Skooter as its new neighbour, the hotspot works at keeping itself fresh. Since late weekends mean an entry fee, we suggest you get there early and start sampling out their cocktails. The long bar stands underneath a giant DJ console that reveals itself in dramatic motion by emerging from a mirror ball. But don't hold that against them, as the Demerara Fig Mojito will leave your senses floored thanks to figs that have been soaked in spirits. The Bloody Mary is good too, as are the Margaritas, while the shots might incite giggling behaviour. Music flutters between dance and commercial, but the food remains consistent with fat slivers of Sushi Nigiri, a sound house special of Mahtani Chicken and Prawn Tempura. You'll always find them bursting at the seams on Saturdays while Sushi Samba Wednesdays with Latino music are also a hit.
