...That's how much you'll have to shell out if you wish to be the centre of attention at the newest nightclub in town. Head to tryst only if exclusivity is what you are looking for
The guys behind Tryst know how to price exclusivity. If you book a table at Tryst, your minimum bill has to be Rs 30,000, for tables that can accommodate up to four people, comfortably. A bigger group can slip into the hexagonal section at Rs 40,000. But if you really want to be in the thick of things, book the biggest table in the house and be prepared to spend over Rs 1 lakh through the evening. Still standing? ]

With a price tag as hefty as that, expect smooth and personalised service because that is the USP of Tryst, as DJ Bunty Arora, one of the owners, puts it. "Each table has a personal bar, butler and bouncer," proclaims Bunty, who has partnered with Rishi Acharya and Jeetu Navlani on his first business venture. So, while you are comfortably seated on your table don't forget to check out the flashing screen that sends you a welcome message.
Also, when you call to reserve, tell them the number of people you plan to party with and what they will drink so the mini bar right next to your table can be stocked accordingly. Prompt service. Tick.
The placeu00a0 donned a completely different avatar since its days as Ra. The most expensive table occupies the central position rather than a dance floor. Special lights, that can reflect 16 million colours and react to human behaviour, set the mood of the club. To operate the lights, Bunty plans to hire a special light jockey. Bunty compares Tryst to nightclubs in London or Ibiza that that offer an experience, not just a space to dance.
"When you stand in the centre of the club, you hear your kind of music playing and the lights reacting to you -- that is an experience." Great ambience. Tick.
Bunty insists on maintaining an exclusive crowd profile at Tryst. "We're targeting people in the age group of 24 and above," he says. Teeny boppers, please stay home. Also, in keeping with the exclusivity factor, Bollywood music will also stay out of Tryst. "We don't see big groups dancing to Bollywood numbers here. You can trip on House, Hip Hop, Trance, etc," says Bunty, who will also take over the console once the place starts functioning smoothly. No Sheila Ki Jawani. Tick.
Tryst scores pretty high on our cards for service, ambience and music. If you have the moolah
to spare, go ahead and have a great time.
