Nagai Restaurant & Cocktail Bar - Sector 29 Gurgaon

Located next doors to the Gymkhana Club on the main road, Nagai opened its doors around 8 months ago, celebrating Japanese and International food. It is an effort by Chef Reina and Eleonara, two adventurers, from different backgrounds and walks of life, who have come together to set up this iconic food brand.

The Gurgaon branch is the second branch of Nagai after Ibiza in Spain. I tried the specially curated Chef tasting menu.


We started off with a special cocktail, based on Gin, recommended by the mixologist at Nagai. It was a perfect mix with a kaffir lime leaf.

Next, I tried the Tom Kha soup which is Nagai's version of Thai Coconut Soup. It was not overly thick little clear and tasted yum.

Started my meal with the Kushiyaki Chicken Skewers which tasted like our routine chicken steak with a delightful flavor of Teriyaki Sauce.

The King Prawn Dragon Roll is something I would really recommend to all those who love prawns.

Main Course

I went with the recommendation from the manager and ordered the Pork Belly with Daikon in Cinnamon and Ginger Sauce. Served with Japanese steamed rice, the dish tasted very well, especially with its thin gravy.

 Desserts

Dark chocolate Semifreddo with bits of cinnamon just wows your taste buds. I also liked the Matcha Green Tiramisu with Vanilla Gelato. The desserts conclude the meal perfectly.


The place has a great party vibe to it, especially the basement bar. I am told that the restaurant is planning to refresh the look and feel of the bar, which should make it much more better. If the weather permits, the outdoor seating looks perfect with the awesome food shared here. If you are new the Menu, seek a recommendation from the great staff as all their recommendations were great to taste.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
