CHEZ NINI, DELHI
The Lowdown – The restaurant celebrates India’s local farmers and
spice markets like never before. In the grand tradition of French cuisine, Nini
serves innovative, modest and artisan flavours put to a dramatic effect. The
kitchen delivers creative dishes using only the freshest ingredients while
retaining the natural flavour. The Bakery products are to die for!
Ambience- Chic French without the snobbery, the tables are
rustic polished tree trunk slabs. The star of the show is the scrap-metal tree
illuminated with bulbs, especially the way it weaves a metal ‘bird nest’ near
the ceiling. Chef owner Nira aka Nini is ever ready to explain every dish on
the menu with great gusto and yes all this in between cooking!
The Duck Confit is brilliant |
Don't even go there –Some of the fried dishes like croquettes can be
really greasy and if the restaurant is very busy the service can take longer
than usual.
'Man’ Speak – A showcase of culinary talent, taking the offerings
to renewed perfection.
