There is a particular hour at Nilgiri Table — just after the lamps are lit and before the first orders fire — when the whole room seems to hold its breath. The tandoor is roaring, the curry leaves are hitting hot ghee, and the day's catch is laid out on crushed ice for guests to see before they sit.
Evenings here are built around that theatre: sizzling platters carried across the dining room, sauces finished at the table, and desserts torched to order. If you have only visited us at lunch, come back after dark — it is a different restaurant entirely.
Our events calendar runs through the season, from chef's counter nights to family-style coastal feasts. Reserve ahead; the weekends go quickly.
