Updated October 2026
The best places to meet singles in Delhi are Hauz Khas Social, Cyber Hub Social, and The Piano Man Jazz Club. Go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening, when they are at their liveliest and it is easiest to start a conversation.
Delhi is a city of plans with friends, so the trick is to go where a shared interest does the introducing: a jazz night, a film club, a food walk or a craft fair. The cooler months from October to March are when the whole city comes out.
These ten places are real and open, checked in October 2026, from Hauz Khas, Lodhi Estate and Old Delhi to Gurugram's Cyber Hub. All of them work if you go alone.
