Delhi does Holi like nowhere else. The city wakes up on the day of the festival already buzzing, with neighbourhoods that have been celebrating since the night before when the Holika Dahan bonfires lit up every corner of every colony. By mid-morning, the streets are a riot of colour, everyone is drenched and laughing and completely unrecognisable, and by the time the afternoon rolls around, the one thing everyone actually agrees on is that it is time to eat. Properly. Holi food in Delhi is its own tradition: thandai, gujiya, dahi bhalla, puran poli, and the kind of festive cooking that takes days of preparation. This year, Delhi's restaurants have decided to do the hard work for you.
Andaz Delhi, by Hyatt, is celebrating the festival of colours with a vibrant Holi Brunch on 1st March 2026, 12 PM onwards at AnnaMaya, priced at INR 3,499++ per person, with an optional beverage pairing at INR 1,000++. The brunch brings together festive Indian classics and global favourites, including Delhi-6 chaat, sushi and wok specials, Dal Makhani, Murgh Makhani, Dum Pukht Biryani and desserts such as Gujiya and Rose Kheer. Highlights include a chef-to-table showcase of signature Indian dishes, a live trolley experience and the hotel's signature chocolate counter, creating an interactive and flavour-forward celebration.

This Holi season, Hitchki outlets ignite the festivities with their high-energy Neon Pre-Holi Bash, kicking off at 7 PM for an immersive evening of glowing décor, vibrant music, and interactive fun. For just INR 499++ per person, the entry package delivers one Thandai, a zesty Rangeela shot, neon light props, and a dedicated wristband for seamless access, crafting a complete festive vibe right from the door. In-house DJs spin nostalgic Holi mixes and pulsating tracks, transforming the space into a neon-lit dance haven that fuses tradition with nightlife thrill. It's the perfect vibrant prelude to the festival of colours.
