360°, the iconic dining spot at The Oberoi, New Delhi, has just rolled out a revamped menu that's all about bringing the world to your plate. The restaurant's latest offering aims to mix global flavours with a hint of local spice, featuring a range of dishes that are inspired by travel, culture, and nostalgia. From the moment you step into 360°, you're greeted by a space that's both stylish and welcoming. The decor is refined yet cosy, setting the stage for a culinary adventure that blends sophistication with comfort.
The menu takes you on a tasty trip, starting with a variety of international salads, sandwiches and mezze. You’ll find the Il Tricolore from Italy and Yam Som O with Thai pomelo and prawns among the offerings. These dishes are meant to spark your interest and provide a light, fresh start to your meal.

Moving on from the starters, the menu dives into heartier fare. The tandoor section features a range of kebabs that nod to the grandeur of old havelis and communal kitchens. While traditional at heart, the presentation adds a modern twist, showcasing the restaurant’s flair for innovation.
Inspired by the Seven Samurai, the Japanese section serves up sushi platters and Kare Udon. These dishes are well-prepared, though they might not fully capture the depth of authenticity you’d find in a specialised Japanese spot. Still, the 360° Signature Black Cod and Zen Chicken Rice shine with balanced flavours and elegant presentation.

Carpaccio
The Italian section brings wood-fired pizzas and Western grills from the Josper oven. The pizzas are tasty but might not stand out compared to a dedicated pizzeria. Likewise, the Norwegian salmon and Australian lamb chops are well-cooked but don't quite differentiate themselves from other top-end grill options in the city.
Pizza Regina Margherita
The menu's journey through Thailand and Indonesia offers a mix of curries, rice, and noodles. While aromatic and flavorful, some dishes might fall short of the punchy authenticity that could elevate the experience.
Desserts wrap things up nicely, with the Chocolate Maze and Tropical Sunset providing a sweet finale. The Good Old Gulab Jamuns and Bailey’s Pour Over offer a modern take on classic Indian flavours.
Overall, 360°’s new menu is a solid effort at a global culinary tour. While it might not push the limits of fine dining, it delivers a diverse array of dishes that cater to different tastes. With its commitment to organic and sustainable ingredients, plus a chic ambience, the restaurant remains a great choice for both relaxed dinners and important business meals.
