Odeon Social, Restaurant in Connaught Place, India
Odeon Social is a multi-floor restaurant in Connaught Place, New Delhi, fitted out with industrial-style decor and long communal tables. The open layout runs across several connected levels, with bar areas and dining sections that flow into one another.
The restaurant opened in the 2010s, at a time when casual dining was spreading through New Delhi's food scene. It was part of a broader shift away from formal table service toward more relaxed, shared formats.
The menu brings together regional Indian dishes and international food, shaped by the tastes of people from across New Delhi. The long shared tables encourage conversation between strangers, which gives the place a social character that is hard to miss.
Coming at lunch or early evening gives you a better chance of finding a seat without waiting, as the place fills up later in the night. A reservation is worth making if you are in a group or planning to visit on a weekend.
The restaurant is housed inside the Odeon building, one of the oldest cinema structures in the area, built in the 1930s. The original facade of the building is still visible from the street, even though the interior has been completely transformed.
