Nest is all revamped and ready with its new avataar. The place which was known as one of the party hubs of Delhi, has now become a new foodie destination to check out. The newly revamped menu has a lot of influence from the Oriental cuisines and we are absolutely loving them.
Things to Eat
1. Baby Spinach With Melange Of Melon Salad
First of all the presentation of the dish is absolutely beautiful and you can see the amount of effort the chef has put in to make a salad for you. Each and every component is very cleverly planned which gives a unique texture to the salad. The crispness of spinach leaves with tangy sundried tomato pesto with the crunchiness of amaranth pops balanced with Melba toast. All the ingredients used in the salad are really healthy and it’ll be any health conscious foodie’s delight.

2. Spinach and Mushroom Dumpling
A dish which is staple in all the Oriental cuisines. Nothing new about the dish but absolutely loved the preparation of it and would recommend it to all dumpling lovers.

3. Asparagus Tempura Sushi
I am a big fan of fried asparagus Sushi, so when I was served the same at my luncheon, I just couldn’t stop grinning like a small greedy kid (who gets hold of candies :p). The crunchy crispy tempura asparagus with the soft sticky texture of the rice is such a beautiful combination. A must try for all sushi lovers!

4. Burmese pot khao suey
Again a very basic Oriental dish but if prepared right can absolutely win your heart. The fresh turmeric with coconut milk and veggies on a bed of noodles served with an array of condiments. Absolutely must try if Burmese is your thing!

Things to Drink
Nest 2.0
1. Asian hook
This was an absolute favorite of the afternoon. Absolutely enjoyed the fruity flavors of this Malibu based cocktail.
2. Paloma
I love when fresh ingredients are used in cocktail rather than preserved ones. This gin based drink with the Grape fruit ginger is absolutely refreshing on any hot summer afternoon or evening.
3. Kao Jia
Now this drink is reserved only for people who have an appetite for non-conventional cocktails. This tequila based drink with charred pineapple and curry leaves is a burst of flavors in the mouth. Would recommend to start the evening with this drink and enjoy it solely without pairing it with food.
What I loved about the new Nest?!
1. I absolutely loved the fact that the menu is quiet basic but each and every dish is prepared really well. Despite being positioned as a lounge, you can expect a good restaurant quality food experience.
2. Each and every dish is quiet healthy. If you count the calories, you wont think twice before eating. They have introduced ingredients such as Amaranth pops in their recipes which is gluten free and high in protein, Melba toast which is healthier than the regular breads served. If you bring a health freak here, they’ll actually indulge in food here without hesitating.
3. I absolutely loved how the food tasted really fresh. You can sometimes taste the preservatives or staleness in food (especially in the monsoon season) but everything here tasted so fresh. You can actually feel the freshness in each bite that was served.
Absolutely loved my experience here, would recommend this place to all foodies who are tired of eating Mughlai and European snacks at lounges. Come indulge in authentic Oriental cuisine (along with Indian and European cuisine) at the Nest 2.0.
