Nasi and Mee opens its first restaurant in Hyderabad
Nasi and Mee has opened its first Hyderabad restaurant in Jubilee Hills, introducing a rainforest-inspired dining experience and a special Southeast Asian street-food menu. The launch marks the brand's entry into Hyderabad as Foodsta Kitchens plans further expansion.
Hyderabad: Southeast Asian restaurant brand Nasi and Mee has opened its first outlet in Hyderabad at Jubilee Hills, marking its entry into the city and taking its South Indian presence to 11 restaurants.
Inspired by the rainforests of Southeast Asia, the new restaurant features natural tones, woven rattan furniture, trailing greenery and lotus-shaped hanging lights. Its centrepiece is a bar surrounded by Where the Forest Comes Alive, a hand-painted mural by French artist Valentin, known as Valkiri. The artwork depicts playful rainforest residents, including an orangutan reaching for noodles and a hornbill sipping bubble tea.
To mark its Hyderabad debut, the brand has introduced The Hawker Edit, a limited-period menu inspired by Southeast Asian street food.
The selection includes Prawn Omelette, Cereal Prawns, Indonesia’s Ayam Penyet and Thailand’s Massaman Curry.
The special menu will be served alongside the restaurant’s regular offerings, which include dim sum, sushi, Singapore Chicken Rice, Nasi
Lemak and Char Kway Teow. Its signature accompaniments include house-made Sambal and XO Chilli Oil.
“Hyderabad has always been on our wish list. It’s a city that takes its food seriously and loves bold, spicy flavours, making it a natural home for Nasi and Mee,” said Dilip Krishnan, Co-founder and CEO, India, Foodsta Kitchens.
Krishnan said the company plans to expand from its current 15 restaurants across its brands to around 50 over the next four years, with a proposed investment of approximately Rs 50 crore. The company intends to strengthen its presence in South India, including Hyderabad.
With a seating capacity of 65, the Jubilee Hills outlet is positioned as the brand’s latest destination for Southeast Asian cuisine in the city.
