Delhiites willingly queued for upwards of an hour outside Connaught Place’s newest arrival. For once, it seems justified.
Alienkind, the Bengaluru-based café, opened its first Delhi outlet on March 14, and the response has been, well, out of this world. Founded in 2024 by Vikram Kakkireni and Abhishek Kumar, the concept clearly resonates.
Why go?
Think a striking orange hue and neon accents, sci-fi aesthetics, and the vague but pleasing sensation that you’ve stepped into a set from a near-future virtual reality film. It’s not just that, though. Other than serving appetising burgers to health-conscious big eaters, their menu features a variety of fruit and vegetable juice blends.
With a tagline like “Humans make stupid choices, rather be an alien,” and a vibe that’s part streetwear drop, part dystopia, Alienkind seems three years ahead of marketing trends.
The Delhi queue will likely only grow. Go on a weekday if you can.
