If you are looking for a spacious, breezy and exciting rooftop resto-bar in Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi, the newly-opened spot Wilde can be a good try. Whether you want a formal dining experience with your formality or go for a few drinks and good food with your friends or plan a fun date night, Wilde offers experience for all kinds of plans. While the formal dining space is enclosed within doors and a roof, the bar area on the rooftop is open and offers many seating spaces. For better or worse, I went to Wilde on a Saturday evening, when a Boho bash was organised and much of the management was occupied with the arrangements of the event. While I had my doubts about my own experience after witnessing all the pre-event setting up, the staff waiting on my table offered wonderful hospitality. Eventually, the live band played some wonderful Bollywood songs and the place had a fun vibe.
