Exciting culinary happenings continue to enrich NCR’s food scene, with innovative pop-ups and eateries introducing diverse menus. The latest buzz? The celebrated London-based chain Burger & Lobster has brought its famous flavors to Delhi with an exclusive pop-up at Grappa, Shangri-La Eros Hotel.
As a seafood enthusiast, I couldn’t resist the allure of this pop-up, and I’m thrilled to say it didn’t disappoint. These aren’t the usual lobsters found locally, which primarily offer meat in the tail. Instead, these are exquisite Atlantic lobsters flown in from Canada, boasting sweet, chunky meat in both the claws and the tail. For the uninitiated, their texture and flavor might even be mistaken for crab—but one bite will make their unique charm unmistakable.
Served steamed or grilled, these lobsters are paired with a delightful lemon butter garlic sauce that complements their natural sweetness without overpowering it. Every bite was pure indulgence. Priced at ₹5,800, they’re a luxurious yet fairly priced treat, especially given the five-star ambiance. The European-style patio seating overlooking lush greenery further elevates the experience.
For those who crave a pasta twist, the Lobster Mac & Cheese is a must-try. Even as someone who typically steers clear of pasta, I found it irresistible. Rich with lobster meat and coated in a decadent three-cheese sauce blended with lobster bisque, the dish is creamy and perfectly balanced. At ₹1,800, it’s a satisfying portion worth every rupee.
The menu also offers a variety of burgers. I shared the Waffle Chicken Burger with a friend, and it was a delightful surprise. A crispy fried chicken thigh nestled in a Belgian waffle and drizzled with ranch sauce—simple yet satisfying.
If you’re intrigued, don’t wait too long. Book your slot before this pop-up ends, or you might find yourself chasing these lobsters all the way to London!
