Nisaba, Humayun's Tomb, Sunder Nagar by Chef Manish Mehrotra - Ambiance is beautiful and calm, with heritage vibes that match the location near Humayun's Tomb. - Small plates were the highlight. Loved the Samosa Daal Muradabadi, Mutton Seekh Kabab with Blue Cheese Butter, and Beetroot Goat Cheese Dahi Vada. Each one felt refined yet rooted. - Barbequed Rice Sole and Summer Corn Malai were light, smoky and full of flavor. - Mains: Thalassery Pepper Chicken was aromatic, Paneer Butter Masala was rich and silken, and Zaveri Bazar Daal was pure comfort. - Desserts stood out. Baked Rasmalai and Benaras Kheer felt nostalgic. Rum Chocolate Ball was indulgent and Gurgaon Doda Pecan Ice Cream was a fun surprise. - Service was warm, attentive and they explained every dish well. - Overall, Nisaba reimagines Indian food with respect for tradition and a modern touch. Truly a memorable dining experience. Thank you Chef Manish Mehrotra for the food and hospitality. Highly recommend for a special meal.

Nisaba nailed it. Authentic Indian food the way it should be. No unnecessary flair, just pure comfort and flavour. Every dish was exceptional and tasted like it came straight from someone’s kitchen who actually cares. The ambiance is elegant but unpretentious. Went with high expectations and they were exceeded. If you haven’t been yet, go.

We loved everything about the restaurant.Fusion was very imaginative. Being Bengalis we really liked the Bengal meets Bihar cuisine. Manish s personal interaction made it all the more memorable. It was lunch,so no there was no crowd. But I think north Indians have very rigid taste in food...we Bengalis are foodies. So maybe Punjabis etc may not dig the meals there. We eat everything, and try all kinds of food from all over India and the world.

Restaurant with potential, but yet to find its groove Chef Manish Mehrotra is undoubtedly a path-breaking chef who redefined what’s possible with Indian cuisine. His Indian Accent was an original, that offered diners unfamiliar combinations with familiar ingredients in a way that created delight. I remember eating the dal moradabadi with chur-chur naan at the original Indian Accent at the Manor hotel and being blown out of my mind. I’ve not forgotten that dish to this day. It was with much expectation that four of us went to Nisaba. The restaurant filled up completely soon after, a testament to the chef’s reputation. Two of us were vegetarians. We ordered: Samosa with Moradabadi Dal Black Dairy Dal, Preserved Garlic Naan Chanar Paturi Kofta, Hing Sattu Kachori Nisaba Pao Bhaji, Onion Pao Tawa Chicken Dirty Rice And Benares Kheer for dessert. Two of us ordered tamarind shikanji, and two of us ordered cocktails. The portions were adequate. The service was excellent. The drinks were fantastic. The food was mostly good, but no dish reached the heights I associate with Chef Mehrotra. The moradabadi dal in itself was excellent; the samosas, however, were slightly hard, presumably to ensure they hold their shape when dunked in the dal. But it did impact the eating experience. The black dal was very competent, but it felt like a safe crowd pleaser rather than a fresh take. The most I can say about the pao bhaji and the chicken rice is that they didn’t disappoint, but I wouldn’t reorder them. The Chanar Paturi Kofta was the weakest of them all. The koftas were okay, but the gravy was confused and lacked balance. The kasundi wasn’t the right flavor for this dish and I longed for something tart or fresh. The benares kheer was excellent. Overall, I came back with the impression that Nisaba is a restaurant that has craft but yet to settle on its creative vision. Right now it feels like something the founder of Indian Accent can create in his sleep. While I will definitely go back to see how it evolves, from Chef Mehrotra we expect more.

This is probably the most over-hyped restaurant there is. The ambience was first off very noisy. Nothing that we ordered had a wow factor or anything. A couple of dishes were certainly good but nothing mind-blowing. Some of the dishes were quite salty. I really don’t understand where the “fine dining” in the casual fine dining marketing comes from, when it comes to Nisaba. Regarding the service, the servers were great but the front of staff and the service in general, not the servers personally, lacked warmth or that personal touch. Funnily enough, the chef did not bother visiting some tables while being quite attentive to other tables, creating an uncomfortable dining experience.

Allergy alert! I had disclosed at the time of booking, at the time of seating and at the time of ordering that I am allergic to truffle still they gave the dish with truffle and had the audacity to refuse outrightly that they didn't add it. Absolutely shit. I have marks over my body now terrible experience... Even chef Hitesh came and promised that our kitchen doesn't have truffle, then we confronted that the server asked us if we do not want truffle, then he agreed there is truffle in kitchen, but not in this dish. Falsely so. It's been a hell of a experience.
