I don’t think there has ever been a European restaurant like Chez
Nini in India before. The owner cooks every single meal, goes up to
tables to check how guests are doing and sources her ingredients from
organic local producers.
Obviously this approach has inherent problems: chiefly what happens when the chef-owner takes a well deserved break? (The answer: standards sometimes drop so consistency is a worry at Chez Nini.) But for the most part, the formula works brilliantly. The food is French-Canadian so it might seem a little unfamiliar. But standards are high and the love and attention lavished on each dish reflects in the flavours.
