Untamed Valentine’s Affair : Congo Gurgaon Serves a Primal Palate Romance After Dark
Valentine’s Day at Congo, Gurgaon is anything but ordinary. Set inside a rainforest-inspired immersive dining space, the restaurant turns romance into a bold, sensory celebration. Instead of offering a predictable candlelit dinner, Congo curates a four-course Valentine’s food fest experience rooted in its signature Primal Palate philosophy, where global flavours, dramatic presentation, and jungle-driven ambience come together effortlessly.
To begin with, the evening opens on a vibrant note. Diners are welcomed with flavour-forward starters that balance spice, richness, and texture. The Spicy Avocado Sushi delivers a creamy kick, while the Tandoori Prawns with Chilli Cream add smoky indulgence with a lingering heat.

For vegetarians, the Charred Candied Paneer paired with Chilli Mango Chutney offers the perfect interplay of sweet, fire, and crunch.
As the experience unfolds, every dish feels thoughtfully designed to keep the palate excited and the mood elevated. Congo doesn’t just serve food—it stages it, making each course part of an immersive romantic journey.
Equally captivating is the cocktail programme, which keeps the night fluid, playful, and expressive. Signature creations like Scarlet Canopy, Forbidden Vine, Midnight Macaw, and Wild Velvet Kiss echo the restaurant’s nightlife energy, adding a sultry, tropical edge to the celebration.
Finally, the evening concludes on a decadent high. Desserts such as the Kunafa Nest with Mango Gel and Mascarpone Mousse deliver a refined yet indulgent finish, leaving couples with the perfect sweet memory of the night.
