Selva opened in New Delhi at World St. at Worldmark, Aerocity, another feather in the cap for the city and existing restaurants. With Selva’s Contemporary Mexican cuisine, the restaurant challenges conventional thinking and offers a variety of culinary experiences based upon truly global inspiration, far beyond the traditional perceptions of Mexican food.

The restaurant marks the third and most ambitious venture from first-generation restaurateur Sarthak Sidana, the founder of Underdoggs and Sere, who has developed concepts across ten cities over the last decade. With its arrival, Selva adds another distinctive experience to World St.’s expanding food and beverage landscape, further establishing the district as a vibrant social destination. Positioned as “The Social Spine of Worldmark,” World St. has been created as a walkable, energetic lifestyle and F&B district within one of India’s prominent global business zones.

Selva’s culinary identity is shaped by Mexican regional traditions blended with Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei influences, developed through more than a year of research and exploration across Mexico and Asia. The menu showcases a refined mix of authentic techniques and contemporary flavours, featuring signature dishes such as Tlayuda, Nori Tacos, ceviches, tiraditos, freshly prepared tortillas, and robata-grilled seafood and meats.

Adding to the experience is Selva Maya, an intimate late-night cocktail space inspired by Mesoamerican mythology. The bar presents a creative beverage programme developed by the team behind Goa’s Hideaway Cocktail Bar, offering guests a distinctive after-dark destination that complements Selva’s culinary journey.

“Selva’s arrival is a strong reflection of World St.‘s growing stature as India’s most sought-after culinary destination. We have always envisioned World St. as a space that brings the world’s most distinctive dining experiences to Delhi. As World St. continues to welcome celebrated brands, we remain committed to making this promenade a true benchmark for experiential dining in the country,” said S. K. Sayal, MD & CEO, Bharti Real Estate.

“Selva is a culmination of our deep rooted love & years spent travelling, researching and understanding cuisines & cultures across Mexico, Peru, Japan and beyond. We wanted to challenge the way Mexican & Nikkei cuisine is understood in India. This wasn’t about recreating what we had experienced elsewhere, but about understanding the cuisine at its roots and finding our own expression of it, one where the food, cocktails, design and hospitality come together to create an experience that feels both rooted and unexpected.” said Sarthak Sidana, Founder, Selva

World St. is rapidly emerging as one of India’s leading destinations for international culinary experiences by introducing globally recognised brands and unique dining concepts to the country. Following Selva’s launch, the destination further expands its premium food landscape with India’s first Olive Garden, while the globally acclaimed food and culture marketplace Time Out Market is also set to make its India debut at the venue.

The destination already hosts an impressive collection of renowned names, including P.F. Chang’s, Magnolia Bakery, Starbucks Reserve, Paul and several other celebrated dining and café concepts. Together, these offerings are shaping World St. into one of India’s most diverse and sophisticated culinary destinations.

Stretching across nearly half a kilometre through 4, 5 and 6 Worldmark, World St. has been designed as a pedestrian-friendly urban promenade combining global cuisine, outdoor dining, landscaped courtyards, art installations and carefully curated public spaces. The destination seamlessly links the three Worldmark developments, creating a vibrant environment where business, entertainment, culture and leisure come together.

From stylish cafés and artisanal bakeries to premium restaurants and immersive cocktail experiences, World St. aims to redefine the city’s dining culture. With its mix of international flavours, contemporary design and experiential spaces, the destination is positioning itself as one of India’s most visually engaging and sought-after lifestyle and culinary districts.
