The 26 Best Restaurants In Mumbai
"Ode is one of the newest spots to hit the city's dining scene, but feels established because it's from Rahul Akerkar, the chef behind the game-changing Indigo, and the father of fun, casual fine dining in Mumbai. The menu is an eclectic mashup: modern European- and American-style food with slivers of desi flavor. Here, that translates to sophisticated, comforting, and straight-up irreverent dishes, like pasta, pizza, and tartare with local ambat-goad (sour-sweet) notes, and the “best damn” tarte tatin (it says so on the menu, and it’s absolutely accurate). The cecamariti cacio e pepe uses local produce with rombay (robiola-style cheese made in the suburbs) and long pepper to glorious effect. Pizzas, like the mushroom-loaded Fungus Among Us, are made with chewy biga dough. And few places in Mumbai make a burger that’s as well crafted as Ode’s—it’s a lamb patty layered with celeriac stew and rosemary jam. This place sits in a shiny new office building right by old mill grounds in Worli, and is where the city's cool crowd gathers to eat and drink under flattering light. " - roshni bajaj sanghvi
