A Day At Imperfecto Shor Café and Club

In this blog post, I cover a new progressive restaurant in Aerocity Delhi called the Imperfecto Shor Café and Club.

From time to time I feature desirable destinations for quality dining and party experiences throughout Delhi NCR. Last month I visited Imperfecto Shor Café and Club, a new progressive restaurant in Aerocity Delhi, hailed for its Gothic charm and rustic-feel.

The brainchild of Sharad Madan, Naresh Madan, Suresh Madan, and Nuria Rodriguez Parra, this café is tucked away in the heart of Aerocity, adjacent to India's first Gothic and barbaric inspired nightclub.

The near-perfect decor of Imperfecto Shor Café features antique furniture and exposed brick walls with valiant illustrations. Combined with an ambiance that's quite difficult to replicate, the modern and quirky cafe makes every bit of an effort to transport you back in time.

Kudos to Nuria, Director Creative, for bringing along great multidisciplinary creative influences, maintaining a fine balance between Romanesque and Renaissance architectures. Nuria uses the Charpoy ceilings with stunningly rustic chandeliers and wall lamps. For the uninitiated, Nuria has designed all Imperfecto outlets to date!

Every piece of artwork that you see at Shor is handmade, with the utmost care and attention.

Pairing rustic decor with industrial detailing, the beautiful cafe also boasts of a pointed arch, canvas paintings on all walls, and handmade lights, giving the space a distinctive character!

Walk into this Goth-inspired café where food is pure comfort, carefully curated by chef extraordinaire Akanksha Dean. The menu travels all through Europe, America, and Asia, with heartfelt comfort food from across the world.

Akanksha works with fresh produce and has a strong respect for the seasonality and abundance that Delhi offers.

Try the Martina's Ensalada, a refreshing salad replete with refreshing mixed fruits, crispy lettuce, freshly plucked cherries, bocconcini, pomegranate, and honey mustard dressing.

If you love Pan-Asian food, don't miss the Spicy Salmon Roll and the Prawn Tempuras.

Indulge in sweet decadence with the Chocolate Mudcake Sunday - a dessert that can rarely go wrong! With this one, I'd hit the right notes of pure bliss!

The name of each dish has been inspired by stories of men and women of the Gothic era. Take 'The Abbey of Darkness' for instance. The name suggests the morish Spanish black rice with prawns and calamari.

My favorite, King Leopold's Succession, is a non-vegetarian burger named after the longest-reigning monarch of Belgium.

Room for more? Try the Spanish Croquettes served as the 'The Royal Portal' or the Sainte-Chapelle Stained Glass made of grilled pineapple flambéed with rum, house salad with cherry tomatoes, served with coconut and rum sauce.

By the way, did I tell you that Imperfecto Shor Café is India's first 24x7 cafe? Music to the ears, right!

The cocktails at Imperfecto Shor are unique earthy concoctions, inspired by Indian flavors matching the gothic culture. Grab a seat near the Goth-themed bar to see the use of paan, earl grey tea, masala tea, kaffir lime, and spices, etc. in your drinks.

'The Exotic Flavor' is curry leaves paired with White Rum, and on the side, a nibble of Prawns tossed in garlic and curry leaves.

Try the 'Mellow Drama' for its unique pairing of Tequila, Grapefruit, and Guava, with mash potatoes, Mexican chili, and mozzarella cheese.

The El Mango is the perfect summer drink served with mango, almond, and pistachio ice cream.

Each cocktail is not only complex in its flavor but is also paired with a nibble, complimenting each other.

It seems like Imperfecto Shor has mastered the art of infusing their spirits, giving cocktails a better balance.
