Wandering through the streets of Vietnam is a culinary experience more than it is sightseeing. From banh-mi stalls and coconut coffee to fragrant bowls of pho and broth, Vietnam and Vietnamese cuisine have so much to offer.
Vietnom, the much-loved Vietnamese restaurant chain across Delhi-NCR, has long captured that nostalgia for food travellers and fans of Southeast Asian cuisine. Now, celebrating its sixth anniversary, the restaurant has launched an all-new menu that pays homage to the country’s culinary traditions while adding a touch of modern creativity.
The Chef Behind It All
The menu’s redesign comes from Chef Aakash Nakra, who credits his inspiration to a simple bowl of pho he once enjoyed in Hoi An.
“I still remember the first time I tasted authentic Vietnamese pho,” he recalls. “It was in Hoi An, early in the morning, with steam rising from a street-side pot. That first sip of broth changed everything—it wasn’t just flavour, it was feeling.”
That experience cultivated the chef’s approach and outlook to food—one that values balance, warmth, and honesty in every dish. His travels across Vietnam’s markets and kitchens have informed this menu, which blends traditional recipes with inventive ingredients and presentations. “With my new menu, I’ve preserved tradition while embracing modern culture. You’ll find dishes that echo the streets of Saigon, the flavours of the Mekong, and the spirit of Hoi An,” says Nakra.
What’s New On The Menu?
The new line-up offers both refreshed favourites as well as new items. Expect everything from stir-fried mushrooms in chilli hoisin sauce, duck pancake rolls, and lamb black pepper, to chargrilled chicken satay with lime leaf, and mushroom milk truffle spring rolls. There’s also prawn and bamboo shoot in rice paper, cream cheese dumplings with chilli oil, and a striking tofu black fungus carpaccio—a dish that combines silken tofu, black fungus, and fresh herbs in a sweet and sour soy dressing.
Each dish reflects Nakra’s vision of Vietnamese cuisine with “fresh energy, playful textures, and a contemporary voice.” For those seeking lighter options, the cucumber, peanut, and sesame salad, with its mix of scallions, sesame dressing, and burnt chilli crisp, stands out for its simplicity and depth.
So, for those craving a culinary journey through Vietnam—without the tickets, hotel fare, or even leaving Delhi—Vietnom’s new menu has got you, served now at outlets across the city. Hurry!
