Celebrating diversity of india One menu at a time
We focus on one region of the country, to get inspired by the ingredient and not the cuisine. This region is more than a city or state, something that defines India more.
The value around Food
Nila is an ingredient‑focused tasting menu restaurant that explores India’s food cultures beyond conventional borders. It looks at how ingredients, stories, and rituals from across the country can be rewritten for today, instead of simply reskinning familiar classics. It is not a story of one person or community, it can be about anyone of us.
Food
Each Region runs for three months, the menus might change a few times in between depending on the availability of the ingredients.
Drink
Coming soon...
Press
We are thankful for the love, support and accolades we have received. But still hungry for more….
