Bunta Bar - Janpath - New Delhi

Located right opposite the famed Janpath Market is the Bunta Bar on the second floor of an office building. It has been set up with uber cool and expansive interiors with a hint of nostalgia with bunta bottles (marbles) all around the place.




Drinks

I went to this place on a hot and humid evening. The weather demanded cooling and soothing drinks and Bunta Bar did not disappoint. They serve excellently curated cocktails. I would definitely recommend the one they call Babaji ko Booti which comes in a Kettle and served in tea cups. If you want to soak into some nostalgia you can have the Bunta Bottles, which once used to be regular lemonade-based drinks but lost their charm when multinationals bulldozed their own brands. Bunta Bar has brought in the old bottles back into fashion with some exciting mixology.

Pizza & Pasta

The Chicken Pizza and Veg Pasta were both good but the pasta was a little sweet. Pizza here is way better than the pasta.
                                              

Starters

Tried their Dabeli which was okayish. Chicken 65 is a house specialty and a must try. Bunta Chicken Tikka is also recommended but I liked the 65 more. If looking for something different to try, go for the chicken tacos. They are quite good. 

                             

                             


Dinner

Dinner was Chicken Tikka Masala and Bengal Mutton Curry served with Malabar and plain Paranthas. A great choice, I could not find any fault with either of them, cooked so well and portion size was generous.




Desserts

Brownie with Ice Cream was the suggestion given by the server and it was yum and chocolaty.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Summary Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In...
