DOS x Las Maracas | Picante Tequila Fest
A month-long celebration where Mexico’s bold spirit meets Delhi’s favourite party address.
This July, DOS Delhi turns up the heat with Picante Tequila Fest, a high-energy, flavour-forward experience that celebrates World Tequila Day in collaboration with Las Maracas, a premium handcrafted tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave and pure spring water.
Inspired by the fiery spirit of Mexico and the vibrant pulse of Delhi, this special edition menu is designed for those who love to sip, savour, and celebrate. The experience invites you to dive into a bold selection of signature tequila cocktails — from zesty classics to tropical twists like Jamun, Mango, and Passionfruit. Each drink is paired with inventive global bar bites that elevate the familiar, the fiery, and the festive.
Think Kalari Cheese Tacos, Goan Chorizo Pizza, Guntur Glazed Wings, and Ivy Gourd Ceviche, dishes that reimagine street food with punchy flavours and refined execution.
The fest is more than a tasting, it’s a journey of flavour, music, and shared stories over tequila. Designed to be social, the festival also offers limited-time experiences perfect for duo or group hangouts:
2 Cocktails + 2 Starters @ ₹2490++
4 Cocktails + 4 Starters @ ₹4990++
Whether you’re a classic margarita purist or someone who loves discovering new infusions, Picante Tequila Fest promises the perfect sip with the perfect bite — in an atmosphere that’s all about good energy and great times.
Venue: DOS, 28 Main Market, Lodhi Colony, New Delhi
Dates: July 25 onwards (All month long)

GUPPY x Dokusha Book Club | A Literary Lunch of Japanese Flavours
Get ready for a lunch where Japanese stories and flavours come together in a way that’s both inviting and memorable. Guppy is teaming up with Dokusha Book Club, a community of readers dedicated to exploring Japanese literature in translation, founded by Arunima, an independent art and culture journalist.
This event explores the intersection of food and storytelling, inspired by beloved novels such as The Kamogawa Food Detectives, The Chibineko Kitchen, May You Have Delicious Meals, and Sweet Bean Paste.
In The Kamogawa Food Detectives, a father-daughter duo helps people rediscover lost memories by recreating meaningful dishes. The Chibineko Kitchen explores grief through comfort food, while Sweet Bean Paste highlights kindness and inclusion through a shared dessert.
The menu reflects these stories beginning with creamy carrot and spicy miso soup, followed by a summer greens salad with avocado and palm heart, echoing the freshness of Japanese home kitchens.
Appetizer options include crispy wasabi prawn or rock corn tempura, everyday favourites that often carry deep emotional meaning. Mains like chicken katsu curry rice and nori-crusted grilled fish mirror the comforting meals that help characters reconnect with their past. Vegetarian options like grilled tomato & brie or tofu curry rice reflect warmth and diversity.
Garlic fried rice and mushroom udon noodles will be served for the table — encouraging shared moments. The meal ends with petit fours and sips from Simba, the official pouring partner.
This is for anyone who loves a good story, a good meal, or the magic that happens when the two come together.
Address: 28, Main Market, Lodhi Colony, New Delhi
Date: August 2, 2025
Time: 4 PM – 6 PM
Price: ₹2,499 per person

Niyamat Mehta Showcases “The Kiss” at Artix India 2025
Artist Niyamat Mehta will be participating in Artix India 2025 on August 2nd–3rd, in collaboration with Arushi Arts. Mehta will showcase a new sculptural work titled The Kiss, a contemplative piece that explores connection through abstraction.
Featured Work Details:
Title: The Kiss
Artist: Niyamat Mehta
Medium: Bronze mounted on Makrana marble
Dimensions: H: 30 cm x W: 21 cm x D: 6 cm
Year: 2025
The Kiss captures a moment of closeness through abstraction. Two forms emerge from a shared base, leaning into each other with quiet intimacy. The figures, softened and fused, suggest the merging of identities, lovers, kin, or kindred spirits.
Cast in bronze and mounted on Makrana marble, the sculpture evokes both strength and tenderness. With its tactile surface and minimal gesture, Mehta invites viewers into a space of emotional stillness, where connection is felt more than seen.

Event Name: Niyamat Mehta at Artix India 2025
Dates: August 2–3, 2025
Location: Claridges Hotel, New Delhi
Time: 11 AM – 8 PM
