When you dream, it is important to believe in it and this is what the brother-duo Sagar Garg and Aman Garg did and it resulted in the form of Banter Delhi, your new passport to North Indian, Continental and Italian food in town. In conversation with TMM, Sagar talks about their journey of dreams, challenges they faced and why it is so close to their heart.
Banter Delhi has been opened for some time now, how has been the journey so far?
Banter has been a dream project for both of us (me and Aman) and seeing it come true with every brick being put in was the happiest moment of our lives. I wouldn’t be lying, if I say that we were absolutely nervous about the public’s reactions, but with God’s grace and our team’s dedication, Banter struck the right chord with the guests and we’ve been witnessing happy days since the opening.
What challenges did you face while shaping your dream into a reality?
Planning a property like Banter was not exactly an easy task because it is not just a high-end restaurant, but a courtyard and a bar at the same time. So, from the planning to the execution, every step has been a challenge for us, but we are glad that we’ve been successful in achieving our targets.
How do you describe your menu?
Food is very close to my heart and hence extra efforts have been put into curating the menu. Our menu is a combination of classics and contemporary, gourmet and comfort food. The aim is to cater to every palate and we hope we are able to live up to the expectations.
What’s the best dish and why?
Udta Punjab is one of my favourite dishes, firstly because of its visual appeal and secondly because of the magical flavours.
Brothers in the business. Who has been your role model?
The idea behind starting Banter together wasn’t because we found some inspiration, but because we wanted to put our sibling bonding into the business. Aman and I have not just been partners in crimes, but in work too because our ideologies and thinking match and hence work becomes easy and fun.
What does the future hold for Banter Delhi?
We are already working on adding two more floors to the existing property. They’ll be operational soon. Plus, we are also on the lookout for more properties, since expansion is on the cards.
