Chef Sebastien Chaoui

With over 25 years in the culinary world, Chef Sebastien Chaoui brings his passion and expertise to NISI. Trained across Paris and New York City kitchens, he blends Mediterranean and French influences with global flavours to create dishes that are elegant, surprising and visually stunning. His philosophy revolves around simplicity and quality — using the finest seasonal ingredients to craft memorable dining experiences. Signature creations like the Ratatouille Burger reveal his playful yet refined approach.

At NISI, Chef Chaoui will focus on bistronomy — refined cuisine presented in a relaxed atmosphere. Expect a menu that evolves with the seasons, celebrating vibrant flavours, exquisite presentation and the warmth of Mediterranean hospitality.

Our Vision

We're crafting a neighbourhood gathering place where the sun‑drenched flavours of the Mediterranean meet the freshness of coastal New York. Expect locally sourced produce, seasonal seafood and slow‑roasted meats alongside handmade pastas, aromatic herbs and vibrant salads. From casual lunchtime plates to leisurely evening dinners, we invite you to taste, share and savour.
