An Unforgettable Culinary Journey

Guests are welcomed into a setting with an open kitchen, a grand piano, and a courtyard adorned with lush gardens, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.

Following the appetizer, the entrée showcases salted mackerel served with a fermented star fruit broth, garnished with chrysanthemum and coriander oil, offering a perfect balance of sour and aromatic flavors. The first main course brings a 14-day dry-aged duck breast paired with pumpkin flower, black apple amazake, and brown butter fermented tofu sauce, offering complex textures and rich, savory flavors.

For a refreshing palate cleanser, mango and passion fruit sorbet with oolong tea cordial and yellow raisin is served before the second main dish: a luxurious 150-day dry-aged Black Angus tenderloin accompanied by eggplant puree, homemade chili and basil beef jus, and Vietnamese ST25 fragrant rice with corn and green beans.

To finish, a delightful dessert of Tahini ice cream with sesame chips, caramelised hajikami, and coconut milk sauce is paired with a delicate Nha Trang tofu pudding, providing the perfect sweet finale to the meal.

Wine Pairing for a Perfect Complement

For those looking to elevate their experience, the menu offers an optional wine pairing, featuring wines from Australia, France, and Italy, selected to complement each course and enhance the flavors of this innovative fusion feast.

A Nod to Vietnam’s Rich Culinary Heritage

Chef Duy Anh Nguyen shared his excitement about the new menu, saying:

"Vietnamese cuisine is renowned the world over for its distinct flavour combinations thanks to vibrant ingredients such as aromatic herbs, spices, and sauces. Our new menu celebrates these combinations and contrasting textures with an undeniable French influence."

Delhi’s culinary landscape has welcomed a new and imaginative entrant with the launch of Tubata in Pitampura, introduced by restaurateur Neeraj Aggarwal, over a decade after he unveiled his first venture, Lotus Leaf.

Tubata is not just a restaurant, it has been envisioned as a sensorial playground and a being inspired by the raw forces of nature. According to the release, it is “a mystical creature born from the elements of air, land, and ocean, where bold flavours, evocative design, and elemental spirit come together in perfect balance.”

Sharing his vision, Aggarwal said, “Tubata is not just a restaurant, it’s a feeling. It’s a space to indulge, to celebrate, to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with something primal, something beautiful. It’s refined, imaginative, and unapologetically distinctive.”

Tubata’s identity draws from the harmony of opposing worlds, with its emblem, the leopard, symbolising grace, mastery, and movement. The interiors reflect lush foliage, marine coral, and fluid natural forms, echoing the philosophy that indulgence is not excess, but alignment with nature’s rhythm.

The restaurant’s design presents a mix of unmatched aesthetics, cosy interiors, and a hint of glamour. It takes guests back to an era of good food and good mood, offering a cosmic play of a bespoke global experience. The multi-cuisine menu has been curated by a culinary team driven by curiosity and craft, reimagining familiar flavours while also introducing innovative creations.

Tubata also evolves with time. By day, it offers a soulful, inviting space for relaxed lunches, conversations, or quiet indulgence. By night, the atmosphere shifts as the lights deepen, the drinks flow, and the space transforms into a lively destination filled with rhythm and celebration.

Aggarwal summarised, “With an identity rooted in evolution, transformation, and sensory delight, Tubata is not your regular restaurant, it’s an experience, vibe and memory. With all ingredients amalgamated together, Tubata will surely give you reason to visit again and again.”
