Christmas & New Year with Silq’s Signature Rituals
Celebrate Christmas & New Year with Silq’s Signature Rituals
This festive season, Silq at Malcha Marg invites Delhi to celebrate Christmas and New Year through experiences rooted in ritual, storytelling, and the quiet luxury of unhurried dining.
At the heart of Silq are its six signature samskara rituals, a rare journey that turns every meal into a ceremonial passage. Guests are welcomed with Ruh-e-Itr, a fragrant introduction of oud and a curated thaal setting the tone for an evening that unfolds slowly and meaningfully. The melodies of Ida evoke distant trading routes, Tajalli marks the moment candlelight flickers to life across the table, and Ushpa gently awakens the senses with a crafted elixir. A poetic amuse-bouche arrives with Ahara, and the night concludes with Lutf, a farewell scroll and traditional mukhwaas that leave a lingering note of grace.
These rituals feel especially magical during the holiday season, turning Christmas dinners and year-end celebrations into moments of connection and ceremony.
Silq’s space draws from the visual poetry of ancient bazaars and royal courts, warm brass glowing like candlelit sunsets, textured fabrics reminiscent of faraway markets, and spice-toned hues that wrap the room in comforting warmth. The ambiance is festive by nature: intimate for small gatherings, elegant for celebrations, and immersive enough to make even a quiet dinner feel special.
From this world of ritual and atmosphere emerges a menu inspired by Persia, Hindustan, the Levant, and the Mediterranean cultures known for grand feasts and winter indulgence. Christmas tables come alive with the Silq Nehari, simmered for hours with saffron and caramelised onions, while the Tandoori Bharwa Gucchi offers the richness of winter produce in its most luxurious form. The golden Jhinga Kunafé brings Levantine flair, and the Silq Dum Biryani, opened tableside from its sealed handi, feels like unwrapping an aromatic gift.
Silq’s cocktails are celebratory by design whether it’s the gold-kissed Sunaar Ras, perfect for New Year toasts, or the playful Rasmalai cocktail, a festive nod to mithai. Desserts such as the saffron-laced Shahi Tukda and delicate Baklawamake for fitting finales to holiday evenings.
This season, Silq offers Delhi something rare: the luxury of slowing down, gathering with intention, and celebrating through experiences crafted with depth, beauty, and meaning.
