After the success of Out of the Box, Udit Bagga & Udit Bhasin came up with NH44, a PAN Indian diner. The restaurant draws inspiration from India’s longest highway and offers authentic flavors that are unique to each state touched by the highway. The experience of the highway begins at the moment one steps inside the restaurant through the unrefined big blue door, often seen in villages of Rajasthan.
The mud walls, hay shades, natural bamboo lights, bright multi-colored jharokhas, wooden floors, multi-colored window panes, non-cemented brick walls, colorful Banta lights, handmade teak wood furniture from Rajasthan, tables made of old tree trunks and seats sewn with earthy fabrics or Jaipuri quilts comprise the theme. If one section takes you to the Pind of Punjab the other will make you experience Rajasthan in its full glory. The ambiance is an amalgam of rustic charm with a contemporary twist.
The concept of the restaurant is to invite food aficionados on a delightful gourmet expedition that encompasses multiple Indian delicacies from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and allow them to taste a variety of Indian flavors on a platter. The concept is unique and looks like a Highway Dhabha which looks inviting and accepting of all varieties of guests.
The fine-dining restaurant has a lavish menu that includes Chettinad Chicken, Madras Fish Curry, Murungakkai Sambhar, Fish in Coconut Milk from Kerala, Kozi Varta Curry, Meen Moilee, Coconut Flavoured Prawn Curry, Phirni, Danedar Rabri, Gajar Halwa, Beetroot Halwa, and many more.
The food menu is complemented by a bar menu that has a brand-new selection of cocktails and beverages special to each state. Their franchise options are also available.
