Delhi’s award-winning Pan-Asian bistro, NAO – Next Asian Outing, has announced its expansion into Noida with the launch of its newest outlet at Skymark One, Sector 98. Marking a significant milestone, this opening represents the brand’s transition from a single-location success story to a growing multi-outlet dining destination, entering one of NCR’s most dynamic and fast-evolving markets.
Founded in 2022 by Amul Kapoor, a first-generation restaurateur with over 12 years of experience in the F&B industry, NAO was built to bridge the gap between quick-service Asian offerings and fine dining experiences. With a strong focus on premium-casual dining at approachable pricing, the brand quickly gained traction as among one of the firsts in Delhi to integrate Korean flavours into the Pan-Asian dining format, tapping into a cultural shift that resonated strongly with a young, experience-driven audience. Its flagship in GK-2 M Block Market and subsequent delivery kitchen in Lajpat Nagar established NAO as a go-to for bold, contemporary Asian cuisine crafted with authentic ingredients and globally sourced bases like Gochujang, Miso, and Thai curry pastes.
The Noida outlet brings with it NAO’s signature menu featuring crowd favourites such as Thai Chilli Garlic Chicken, Tom Yum Udon Noodles, Korean Ramyun, Tteokbokki, Japchae Noodle Bao, Curried Dim Sums, and Bulgogi Grills. The brand’s standout Tom Yum Stone Bowl and customisable sizzling bowls promise both visual appeal and layered flavours, while health-forward options like Quinoa Poke Bowls and fusion creations such as Guacamole & Teriyaki further expand the offering.
Staying true to its design-forward aesthetic, the space features neon accents, curated art walls, and warm ambient lighting that create a vibrant, social atmosphere tailored for Noida’s young diners. With delivery integrated from day one, NAO ensures accessibility alongside experience.
Speaking on the expansion, Mr. Amul Kapoor, Founder at NAO, shares, “We saw the Korean wave building and made it part of our DNA before it became mainstream. But what keeps people coming back isn’t the trend – it’s the food. Noida has the appetite for what we do, and this is the beginning of NAO becoming a brand that belongs to more than one city.”
With its Noida debut, NAO – Next Asian Outing sets the stage for its next phase of growth, focusing on consistent execution, strong delivery integration, and creating culturally relevant dining experiences across markets. As the brand expands its footprint, it remains committed to bringing bold Pan-Asian flavours to a wider audience while staying rooted in quality, authenticity, and experience-led dining.
