Chef Manish Mehrotra has opened Nisaba in New Delhi after stepping away from the restaurant scene for two years.

The acclaimed chef behind Indian Accent has pivoted from his signature 'progressive Indian' approach. Nisaba serves as Mehrotra's tribute to India's everyday cooking, focusing on soul-satisfying cooking prepared with quietly accomplished skill.
