Across - Kalaghoda, Mumbai

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Across in Kala Ghoda is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, the warm, earthy ambiance transports you straight to the Himalayas. The attention to detail in the décor, inspired by mountain culture, sets the perfect tone for a unique dining experience. The food is nothing short of spectacular! Every dish bursts with authentic flavors, showcasing Himalayan ingredients with a modern twist. To top it off, the service was impeccable. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. Across isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience. A must-visit for anyone looking to explore the rich flavors of the mountains in the heart of Mumbai!

Seldom does a quiet little, modernly-designed city space transcend you to the quaint eateries in the mountains! Across does just that with its delectable Himalayan cuisine. We tried the Tingmo and we floored by its warm soft texture. The mutton bone broth soup was comfort food and so was the prawn Jimbu. Must visit if you are looking to try authentic Himalayan cuisine curated by a talented bunch of folks! Absolutely soul-nourishing food! PS: teetotallers, so we didn’t get any alcohol but the bar menu was also curated - inspired by palate from mountains!

The positives are that the menu for Mumbai is unique. It's really worth trying. The negatives are that it's expensive and not all dishes were great. So a 4 star is right. Buckwheat fries were excellent We liked many dishes like the thukpa and the 9 beans mushroom soup. The trout is too expensive for the amount of flesh on it and it was not perfectly fresh like fish should always be to enjoy. The Rs 500 per pax booking advance was not needed as the place was not full at all. The dessert we had was unique and we loved it. In the small plates the mushroom starter was the best. The rest were average. The shrimp and mutton starters were average. All in all worth a try. But an expensive meal.

We went to Across for dinner on 1st Jan. Had to pay a reservation charge of 500pp which was adjusted with the bill. We chose the 9.30 sitting but were there by 8.45pm and got a table. The ambiance was lovely. Music was fine but as the space is quite small, it did get a bit noisy. The lighting was low.. could be a bit brighter. The food is definitely unique. Appetiser portions are quite small vis a vis the price. The cocktails left a lot to be desired from a potency perspective. We had • Buff choila - 4 thin grilled slices - 4/5 • Buff tartar - raw buff, not sure if it’ll work for everyone 5/5 • Pork belly - 4-5 small pieces - 5/5 • Pork shypta - a lot of veggies, limited meat 5/5 • Buckwheat fries - Dalia basically, something different, about 8-9 crunchy fries 5/5 • Tingmo bread - super brilliant.. the highlight for me, do not miss 5/5 • Himalayan trout - a bit smaller than we expected 3/5 • Buff Datshi - mildly flavoured gravy, goes v well with the tingmo bun as suggested by our server 5/5 • Caramel custard - 4/5 • walnut cake - blissful 5/5 Drinks - • Yo gin 4/5 • Old pepper 4/5 • Walnut tree 3/5 • Tea nettle tisane 4/5 The dessert portions were surprisingly generous. The food was definitely soulful and we did a lot of experimentation to find out what works for us. We paid 3750 per person.

Showcasing cuisine across the Himalayas Chef Viraf introduces us to the many different dishes I had not experienced before. A menu which seems to change with customer presence and availability of ingredients. The pork belly was extremely fatty and delicious. The pomelo salad really hit the spot. The Prawn and Mustang Jimbu was the standout dish of the day. The Beef keema noodles seems to be the ideal dish to order for a light lunch. Service was friendly and prompt and the decor was simple yet elegant. A restaurant worth noting and revisiting.

What a super find this was!!!! Absolutely amazing food… the flavours were delicate and subtle.. honestly I was not expecting the vegetarian fare to be so exquisite - really enjoyed the Ema Datsi (a Bhutanese cheese and chilly gravy with red rice), the Mushroom thukpa and something as simple as the kaali dal was so delectable. The caramel custard was THE BEST I have ever tasted. But the winner was the Apple Ceremeschnitte which I cannot even describe. Heavenly 🤩

Across has recently opened and we loved the food there. Although vegetarian dishes are limited, they were delicious. You could taste the freshness of ingredients. We had potato gnocchi, 9 bean stew, hummus with a steamed bun. All of it was amazing . The only downside was the portion size which I felt was a little less filling.

Quite a small place near Kala Ghoda. I went for dinner. Great service. The waiter recommended the duck choila and the Festive nine bean stew with mutton. The food was ok but overpriced.
