Nasi and Mee, a Southeast Asian dining brand, has opened its first restaurant in Hyderabad at Jubilee Hills, marking its entry into a new city. With this addition, the brand now operates 11 restaurants across South India.
The restaurant accommodates 65 guests and features interiors inspired by the rainforests of Southeast Asia. The design incorporates woven rattan, cane-backed chairs, trailing greenery and lotus-shaped rattan lights, as shared in media reports. A central bar features fish-scale tiles and white marble, while a hand-painted mural titled Where the Forest Comes Alive, created by French artist Valentin, also known as Valkiri, brings together rainforest characters and references to Southeast Asian food and drink.
To mark its Hyderabad debut, the restaurant has introduced The Hawker Edit, a limited-time menu inspired by Southeast Asian hawker centres and street stalls. The selection includes Prawn Omelette, a wok-fried dish, and Cereal Prawns, featuring crisp prawns tossed in buttery, curry-leaf-scented cereal crumbs. Main courses include Indonesia’s Ayam Penyet, served with sambal, and Thai Massaman Curry.
The Hawker Edit is available alongside the restaurant’s regular menu, which features handcrafted dim sum, sushi rolls, Singapore Chicken Rice, Nasi Lemak and Char Kway Teow. The offering also includes Iced Blended Milo and house-made accompaniments such as the brand’s signature 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, which makes it a natural home for Nasi and Mee. We’re thrilled to finally be here, and we’re excited to bring a little taste of Southeast Asia’s streets to Jubilee Hills,” said Dilip Krishnan, Co-founder and CEO, India, Foodsta Kitchens, the parent company of Nasi and Mee.
