There are meals you simply eat and meals you remember, our evening at Nila was firmly the latter. We came to celebrate our second wedding anniversary and left with what has quietly become one of the most memorable experiences. The tasting menu was thoughtful and full of things we hadn't tried before. The pasta was lovely, and the foams that ran through a few of the dishes were a nice touch. The savoury chocolate rice surprised us the most, chocolate used for depth rather than sweetness, earthy and a little smoky, and genuinely unlike anything we'd had. The orange-tamarind cooler was refreshing and well balanced. And the dessert, the chocolate cake with ice cream, was the sort of thing that's hard to put into words, it's really best experienced at the table. What stayed with us most, though, was the care. Dining through a pregnancy with both gluten- and dairy-free restrictions usually means settling for less, but here it didn't. The kitchen reworked ingredients thoughtfully and the food never lost anything for it, which we appreciated more than we can say. We were also among the first guests to be seated on the newly opened first floor, an open space with a view of the sky that made the evening feel a little more special. When we mentioned our anniversary, Chef Rahul wanted to mark it and when we said a regular cake wouldn't work for us, he simply said he'd figure something out, and he did. Ayan looked after us warmly throughout and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The space, the plating, the attention to detail all of it is clearly done with real thought. But it's the people who made the evening what it was. We'll be back, and we're glad to recommend it.

I recently dined at Nila and it was hands down the best night I’ve had in a long time. The new Kerala-based menu beautifully blends authentic regional flavours with a modern, elevated touch across a phenomenal 11-course journey. The experience kicks off beautifully in the ‘Living Room’ with playful snacks. Every single dish was an absolute masterpiece—the flavours were deep, perfectly balanced, and so thoughtfully curated. From the smoky depth of the fire-toasted Vatta Pattani soup paired with pillowy whole-wheat flatbread, to the comforting, tangy richness of the Eendh Pidi dumplings bathed in a roasted garlic and curd chili sauce, each dish honors its roots while offering a thrilling element of surprise. Desserts, oh my god! Breathtaking. The interiors are absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous mood lighting and a warm, elegant design. A definite visit without a doubt!!

This was my second time at Nila. I've had a chance to taste their Kerala Backwaters menu and I recently had their Ladakh menu. There is food that you love, good that you remember but very very rarely do you come across food that leaves not just your tastebuds but also your brain mesmerized. Such is the concept and art that is being served at Nila in the form of food. Taking ingredients from corners of India, and turning those into modern dishes, is something they excel in. Thank you Nila for the wonderful food and experience. Looking forward to the next chapter

I had the most incredible experience at Nila! The 12-course meal was a true culinary journey, each course meticulously crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Chef Rahul was an absolute delight, his warmth and passion shone through as he explained each dish, making the whole evening feel personal and unforgettable. I can’t recommend this experience enough!

I have never experienced any other dining experience as good as Nila in all of India. The ambience, food quality, and innovation were superb and deserving of a Michelin Star.

The food was genuinely good and the concept was interesting, but the hosting experience was extremely disappointing. I walked in and was clearly confused about where to go, and despite there being staff around to host, I was completely ignored. What made it worse was seeing guests who arrived after me being greeted warmly, shown to their seats, and offered water while I received none of that attention. I eventually had to ask what was going on just to get some basic assistance. For a restaurant that positions itself as an experimental and elevated dining experience, the hospitality really needs to match the food. Good food can only take the experience so far when the first impression is this poor. Hopefully the restaurant works on its hosting, because the food definitely deserves a better overall experience.
