“I wish somebody would have told me, babe, someday, these will be the good old days
All the love you won't forget and all these reckless nights you won't regret someday soon, your whole life's gonna change, you'll miss the magic of these good old days!”
Ever since Macklemore and Keisha crooned this tear-jerker- “Good old days, the kids have been going around asking, what were these good old days? What was so special about the 90s- and 2000s-party scene?! The answer simply put is, they were a tribe of sun chasers, who drank, laughed, and sang the nights away in wholesome and interactive fun, living for the only thing that truly matters in life- The Now! The coolest music scenes, the most chill vibes, nights blazing with euphoria until wee hours and experiences that were cherished together! These parties were like the best-kept secrets of the town, which gave them that exhilarating X-factor.
So, what does this all mean for “The now, now’?!
One of the swankiest and most popular Goa pubs, ‘Dontelmama’ has arrived in Delhi! Known for its infectious, high-tempo party scenes, Dontelmama is one of those rare pubbing experiences where you forget your has-beens and get truly immersed in the now. The pub is helmed by the leadership of Mayank Jha aka The Party-man (Advertising/PR Guru), The versatile, rocking every genre, musician– DJ Golz, and the third partner of this amazing trio-- Samar Singh. This favourite haunt of party people has set-up its arena in the heart of Delhi Party Scene – South Ex. 2.
Dontelmama is sprawled across 3 levels; the main room greets you with a rich vibrant feel when you enter, with garnet maroons mingling with lapis and navy blues, and subtle hints of medallion golden all around echoing an air of supremacy. The smoking area is perky and exuberant, with a spectrum of colours lending it a quirky vibe. The rooftop is further segregated into a lower section with a cool laid-back vibe, complemented by the green lush and soft warm lights, and another Bird’s Eye level where you get a 360 degree of Southside; a perfect spot for an intimate party of 15!
One of the USPs of Dontelmama would be its music scene; the capital has seen a crunch of solid music being played in its pubs lately. Over here local and national talents would be performing week in week out with varied genres on play, only the freshest, the realest ones would take the stage in this pub, as the tribe get to witness a wholesome interactive experience, mastered with original kickass music, lip-smacking food and cocktails, and parties that would be the talk of the town.
Dontelmama offers an array of world cuisines using the best of local ingredients, concocting a unique tang to add a fascinating yet ‘homely’ touch making the food not only delectable but also a star familiar experience. The variety ranges from aromatic Indian dishes to the elegant and meticulously prepared Italian. There’s also the fiery, zesty and quintessential Mexican food, the exotic Intercontinental and exquisite Chinese cuisines to indulge your palates in heavenly tastes! Rest assured, there’s something for everyone!
With its own signature drinks and food items, along with specially curated weekend drinks for unique events, Dontelmama promises some of the most unique cocktails in the capital, serving a list of libations like no other, with plenty of bar space to mooch around.
Speaking on the occasion, Mayank Jha, Co-founder, said “We've all been there when we've hidden some harmless stuff from our moms, just so that we can have a jolly good time! The name and philosophy behind 'Dontelmama' stem from the same thought. “Keep it light, let loose & don't stress your Mama out!” Party till you drop, Drink like a fish, stay out late, eat delicacies (almost) as good as your mama's cooking; But hey! Dontelmama!”
Commenting on the launch, DJ Goldz, Co-founder, said “The mad raging parties of the 90s & the early 2000s where people partied till dawn, danced the night away are gone, authentic party places no longer exist, the people find no access to interactive outlets where they can proudly say, 'Dontelmama, I was there last night’! We want to bring that factor back to Delhi & breathe a fresh lease of life into the scene thereby giving them good music, delectable food, a comfort zone: “A Wholesome experience to cherish.”
Bringing in the fresh lease of life and youthful exuberance is Samar Singh said, “Being in the party circle for a long time had decided to be on the other side to dedicate him to give the best experience to the active party people. Assuring you of a high energy dream party experience. C’mon friends let’s give party a different definition … lets ROCK IT and let it FLOW”
