NILA

Chilled pineapple rasam (Complimentary
welcome drink for diners)
Introducing a refreshing twist on the
traditional South Indian consommé, this
summer bevvy from NILA offers a unique and
unforgettable taste experience. Personally,
this drink made me nostalgic for those OG
street side pani puri stalls. With a flavour
profile that combines a gentle zestiness,
subtle sweetness, and aromatic notes from
charred pineapple, it captures the essence of
sunshine in every sip. Whether you’re craving
a cooling refreshment or a hint of spice, this
summer concoction promises to delight your
taste buds and elevate your summer sipping
experience like never before!
