ONYX Hospitality Group, renowned for its exceptional hospitality services across Southeast Asia, celebrates the first anniversary of Nila, the coastal Indian gem nestled on the 4th floor of the Amari Bangkok Hotel. This anniversary marks one year of delivering an authentic and unique culinary experience that blends traditional Indian coastal cuisine with Portuguese influences in the heart of Bangkok.
Nila invites guests to explore the dynamic and flavorful world of coastal Indian cuisine, a journey through the vibrant coastal regions of India. The restaurant offers a one-of-a-kind 8-course Coastal Indian Tasting Menu, available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The menu, available throughout the year, provides a remarkable opportunity to experience the varied, rich flavors that define the coastal regions of India.
At the heart of ONYX Hospitality Group’s mission is their goal to be “The Best Medium-Sized Hospitality Management Company in Southeast Asia,” excelling not only in accommodation but also in premium food and beverage services. Nila, as one of its flagship outlets, is a testament to ONYX’s commitment to excellence, offering a culinary celebration inspired by the coastal heritage of India. The restaurant’s name, Nila, meaning “blue like the sea” in Malayalam, reflects its deep connection to the coastal culture of India.
The menu features an exciting array of dishes that showcase the culinary traditions of Goa and Kerala. Nila’s signature dishes bring the spirit of ancient spice traders and herbalists alive, using the finest ingredients like Kerala’s fragrant coconut and the bold flavors of the Malabar coast. One standout dish is the Spicy Seafood Curry from Goa, an exquisite combination of traditional Goan flavors with a contemporary culinary twist. Each bite tells the story of India’s coastal past, rich in flavors and influences.
The 8-course tasting journey begins with a selection of tantalizing appetizers, including Phal Dhokla from Gujarat, a delicate dish made of soft lentil flour and served with tropical fruits, yogurt, and red chili jam. Another highlight is Wada Bao, Mumbai’s beloved street food made with crispy fried mashed potato in soft dough, offering a comforting crunch and warmth. Also on the appetizer list is the Khara Puff, a South Indian spiced pastry served with cranberry chutney.
For those craving heat, Peri-Peri Jheenga offers Goan-style prawns marinated in fiery peri-peri chili and grilled over an open flame, paired with smoked tomatoes and sweet chili chutney. Another Kerala favorite is Kozhi Chuttathu, a spiced, marinated chicken drumstick grilled and smoked to perfection, served with pickled beetroot and a refreshing mint sauce.
The main courses elevate the experience even further, with Machher Jhol, a classic Bengali sea bass curry served with a rich pumpkin puree, and Chicken Ghee Roast, a flavorful dish from Bangalore where chicken is cooked in ghee and a spicy red chili sauce. For mutton enthusiasts, Mutton Perattu from Kerala is a must-try, served with flaky parotta and packed with aromatic spices.
For dessert, Filter Kapi Misu presents a delightful fusion of Coorg coffee and Tiramisu, offering a deliciously rich conclusion to the meal. Nila also caters to vegetarians with specially adapted dishes such as Wild Mushroom Ularthiyayhu and Tofu Jhol, both offering authentic coastal Indian flavors with a plant-based twist.
Nila’s beverages are a perfect complement to the bold, flavorful cuisine, featuring a selection of signature cocktails inspired by coastal Indian ingredients and spirits. From refreshing, seaside-inspired drinks to bold creations featuring cognac, these cocktails offer an exceptional tasting experience.
More than just a restaurant, Nila is an immersive journey into the rich, vibrant flavors of India’s coastal regions, evoking the warmth of the sun and the cool waves of the sea. It’s a celebration of heritage, culture, and exceptional taste.
