Time Out Market Delhi to Open in December 2026, Announces First Three Kitchens

Time Out Market Delhi is set to open in December 2026 at Worldmark 5, Aerocity, bringing together food, drinks and cultural experiences under one roof. Developed and operated by Quint Digital Limited (QDL) under a franchise agreement with Time Out Group, the venue has announced its first three kitchens: Bhawan, Chard and Mizu Izakaya.

The three concepts will be part of an 11-kitchen line-up, featuring regional Indian street food, burgers and grills, and Japanese-inspired dining. More partners, beverage offerings and details of the cultural programme are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

Chard, founded by Hanisha and Jamsheed Bhote, brings its burger and grill concept to the Market. The duo, which began their careers at The Oberoi, has spent a decade developing food concepts centred on thoughtful cooking. Its signature offering features a grilled double patty, caramelised onions, melted cheese, house-made pickles and sauce, served in a Hokkaido-style brioche bun.

"Delhi’s food scene is unlike anywhere else in the country: street food with a cult following perfected over generations, sitting right next to some of the most exciting new restaurants and bars opening right now", says Co-founder and Chef Jamsheed Bhote, Chard."As people who travel to eat, Time Out Market has always been one of our first stops in any city. To be part of the first one in India, in our own city, is genuinely something we've been looking forward to".

Bhawan, established in New Delhi in 2020, focuses on Indian street food, snacks and sweets. Its menu combines classics such as Ajmeri Kadhi Kachori and Palak Patta Chaat with contemporary creations including Mutton Birria Seekh Kebab and Tiramisu Rasmalai. At Time Out Market Delhi, it will serve its signature take on the dosa.

“Every Time Out Market has its own dynamic, a unique, unexpected experience, yet one that unmistakably belongs to the city it calls home. Lisbon is nothing like Dubai, and Delhi shouldn’t be anything like either of them. Our first Time Out Market in India will look, feel and taste like Delhi. For us, bringing Time Out Market here was about trusting the city to shape the experience, not arriving with a fixed idea of what that experience should be. That is what makes this an exciting moment for us: bringing a global concept to India but allowing Delhi to make it entirely its own”, says Ritu Kapur, Co-founder and Managing Director, Quint Digital Limited.

Mizu Izakaya, led by Chef Lakhan Jethani, offers a contemporary interpretation of Japanese izakaya dining, where food and drinks are designed for sharing. Its signature dish at the Market will be Hamachi Smoked Ponzu, featuring thinly sliced hamachi with cucumber and radish, served with house-made ponzu prepared over approximately two weeks and smoked with garam masala.

"Delhi has always had a very strong food culture, and what I find interesting is how open the city is to different cuisines and new dining experiences. Japanese food has found its own audience here, and we're excited to be bringing Mizu to that conversation. We want to keep the food true to what we do at the Japanese restaurant, while bringing in the more relaxed, social spirit of an izakaya", says Chef Lakhan Jethani, Co-Founder, Mizu Izakaya.

Beyond dining, Time Out Studio will host cultural events spanning art, theatre, music and comedy. The space will also be available for private and corporate events, supported by the Market's kitchens and bars.
