Caveats
- Concert night footfall will be very high. Even though these places are open late, table bookings are strongly recommended, especially at Butterfly High, Foo, and Social.
- Depending on how the concert ends and how quickly people exit, some kitchens may start winding down – arriving shortly after the show is better than too much later.

Foo Asian Tapas and Butterfly High work best if you’re eating past midnight, while Nesco Social offers the most convenient bar-lounge vibe inside the NESCO campus. For proper meals before midnight, The Tanjore Tiffin Room and China Ming are dependable picks. Whether you want Asian, Indian, veg, non-veg, or just a place to unwind, these are the top late-night restaurants near NESCO that are open, accessible, and concert-ready.
