With the large number of quality restaurants in CP, it can be a tough task to distinguish your eatery from the rest. However, the owners of Detroit, Ajit Singh and Arpan Gupta opened it with a view to doing something different. They attempted to do so by using the name of the famous American ‘Motor City’, thereby adding an automobile element to their venue. Vintage car models adorn the different spaces of the restaurant, while the menu delights with exciting yet familiar flavours. Items like the Chicken Cheeseburger Soup and Banana Churros surprise the palate, while a classic Whiskey Sour and Spice Pepperoni Pizza ensure that the restaurant’s food and drink basics are in the right place. Other popular offerings include the Dynamite Prawn Crackers that are coated with a spicy wasabi and pack a hearty punch. From the drinks menu, try The Piston, a concoction of white rum, coconut rum, orange juice, cranberry juice and dark rum or the Mustang GT, a cocktail featuring a blend of five white spirits and peach extract. Additionally, if you’re an automobile buff (or know someone who is) you can reserve one of their vintage cars in advance for an unforgettable dining experience!
