POD: Stirring Delhi's nights with Coffee, Chocolate, and Cocktails
4th September 2025
Delhi’s buzzing nightlife has found a fresh and flavorful address in POD, the latest venture from Baninder Singh and Paweena Withyasathien — the duo behind the much-loved Savorworks Coffee & Chocolate Atelier. After winning hearts with their specialty coffee, artisanal chocolates, and Thai-inspired food at Savorworks, the founders have extended their craft into a bar that celebrates flavor innovation and community in equal measure.
At the heart of POD’s success are its inventive cocktails that put coffee and chocolate front and center. Take Gianduja, a smooth blend that celebrates chocolate’s richness while balancing it with a refined spirit profile, creating a drink that feels indulgent yet elevated. Or the Night Stroke, where bold coffee notes meet the complexity of carefully chosen spirits, offering a cocktail that is both energizing and layered — a perfect reflection of Baninder’s expertise as an SCA-certified professional coffee roaster. These cocktails are not gimmicks but thoughtful creations, rooted in craft and balance, and they’ve quickly become crowd favorites.
The food menu, too, is full of surprises. The Ramas Chaat offers a playful twist on a classic, delivering bursts of flavor and texture that pair beautifully with the cocktails. Equally unforgettable are the Tom Yum Pops, a nod to Paweena’s Thai heritage, which pack the zesty, aromatic punch of the famous soup into a fun and modern small plate. Together, the dishes reflect the same philosophy that guides the drinks — respect for tradition, innovation in execution, and an unwavering focus on quality.
What makes POD truly shine, however, is the way it blends the worlds of coffee, chocolate, food, and cocktails into one seamless experience. It’s a space where daytime conversations over coffee can effortlessly turn into evenings filled with craft cocktails and shared plates. Guests leave not just with satisfied palates but with a sense of being part of something unique — a narrative woven by two passionate founders who see flavor as a form of storytelling.
In a short time, POD has emerged as one of Delhi’s most exciting bars, not by following trends but by setting them. With its inventive cocktails, playful food, and the unmistakable touch of Savorworks’ craft, POD is more than just a bar — it’s where nights in Delhi now begin.
