Popular Pan-Asian brand Nasi and Mee has made a grand return to Whitefield, Bengaluru, with a new flagship outlet at Nexus Shantiniketan Mall. This opening is a double celebration: it marks the brand’s 10th restaurant in India and commemorates a decade-long journey since its inception in 2015. After a six-year hiatus from the neighborhood, the brand returns with its first-ever outdoor dining concept and a design inspired by the bustling hawker centers of Southeast Asia.
Design & Atmosphere: A Hawker-Inspired Walkthrough
The new Whitefield outlet is a visual tribute to the street markets of Bangkok, Singapore, and Hanoi.
-
First Outdoor Space: For the first time in its 10-year history, Nasi and Mee introduces an outdoor dining area, blending tropical foliage with rattan furniture for a breezy, alfresco feel.
-
Artistic Murals: Inside, the space is anchored by three massive murals:
-
A traditional Chinese shophouse with boiling noodle vats.
-
A hidden hawker stall tucked in a narrow alley.
-
A heartwarming scene of a vendor serving noodles from a familiar counter.
-
-
Expanding Horizons: Clever use of mirrors and “winding walkways” in the design create an illusion of the sprawling, chaotic-yet-organized charm of Asian food alleys.
The Menu: ‘Simply Sedap’ (Simply Delicious)
To celebrate the milestone, the restaurant is highlighting its legacy of authentic Southeast Asian comfort food:
-
Signature Staples: Authentic Nasi Goreng, Mee Goreng, and the cult-favorite Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings).
-
Limited-Time Menu: Introducing the ‘Simply Sedap’ menu, curated specifically to celebrate 10 years of favorites from Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
Dilip Krishnan, Co-founder and India CEO, Foodsta Kitchens (Parent Co. of Nasi and Mee): “Opening our 10th restaurant in the year we complete 10 years makes this Whitefield launch especially meaningful. It’s incredibly special to be back in a neighborhood that played an important role in our early journey… Nexus Shantiniketan gives us the perfect setting to celebrate this milestone.”
