Across - Kala Ghoda, Mumbai

Visited Across, Kala Ghoda and had a really warm and comforting dining experience. We ordered quite a few dishes — Pomelo Bliss, Fresh Lime Water, Fry Bread, Mushroom Choila, Mustang Black Dal, Ghee Rice, and the Mountain Road Brownie. The food reflects the authentic flavours of the Himalayan region, and you can taste the use of mustard oil in certain dishes, which gives it a very homely, regional touch. The staff surprised us with a complimentary Churpi Cheese Dip with crisps while the Mustang Black Dal was getting prepared. Churpi cheese is traditionally made in Himalayan regions — slightly smoky, chewy, and packed with natural flavour. The dip version they served was delicious and definitely worth trying! Honestly, the fact that they offered it complimentary because the dal was taking time (I’m guessing they make it fresh) felt very thoughtful and added to the experience. We weren’t drinking alcohol, but based on how good the Pomelo Bliss mocktail was, I’m guessing their cocktails would be quite interesting too. The place is slightly on the pricier side, but since we were celebrating our first date anniversary, it felt completely worth it. Overall, a cosy spot with great service and flavourful, comforting Himalayan cuisine — definitely a memorable meal!

This place is an absolute vibe! With its warm ambience, attentive staff, and delicious food, it’s definitely worth a visit. We tried a variety of dishes, each with its own unique flavor: 1)Tingmo – a soft Himalayan flatbread served with chili butter, simple but good to start with. 2)Kothey Momos – pan-fried chicken momos, perfectly crisp with an amazing taste. 3)Prawn & Mustang Jimbu – flavorful and aromatic, but saltier than we prefer. 4)Crispy Skin Chicken – juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. 5)Apple Cremeschnitte – a must-try dessert, beautifully soft, crispy, and irresistibly tasty.

Across was a highlight during our trip to Mumbai. Their take on a whiskey sour using walnuts was incredibly smooth and had a lovely presentation. The food was also fantastic with our favorites being the white bean hummus, the momo, and the crispy duck. Honestly, the menu was big enough though that there was still a lot we weren’t able to try (although we did get dessert which was also great). The only thing we found a bit odd was that while the menu looks like it is set up for sharing style with a variety of small plates, the service was not set up to match this. The dishes were brought out one by one which was not a problem just not really as we intended. It also was pricy for Mumbai but I would say the food and environment at Across is definitely worth it.

Tried this place based on Insta reel review. Most of the dishes we ordered were tasty, but would have preferred larger portions for the price point. What we ate: 1. Tingmo - soft layered fluffy steamed bun with scallion chilli butter - just yummy. 10/10 2. Prawn & Mustang Jimbu - sauted prawns with garlic, chilli & himalyan wild chives - Well cooked, flavourful, but felt it's missing an accompaniment. 9/10 3. Kothey Momo - Delicious, juicy & crispy at the same time! 10/10 4. Jhol Bhat Mutton - Loved the flavours, but sadly the meat was missing the 'melt in the mouth' moment. In fact it was not well cooked and had to keep chewing on it forever! What looked like comfort food, let me down. 7/10. 5. Dessert = Disaster. Don't recall the exact name of the dessert, but was supposed to be some chocolate mousse based dessert which was absolutely not like a mousse in texture or form and honestly didn't taste good either. Pls skip it! Overall, good experience. Came in without any expectations, but came out with a full and relatively happy belly!

Came here to celebrate a birthday and explored quite a variety from the menu. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience with several standout dishes that truly impressed. If you visit, the Mustang Black Dal is an absolute must-order, beautifully rich, comforting and layered with flavour. The 3 Mutton Soup Momos were exceptional and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The Prawn with Mustang Jimbu was another remarkable dish and I highly recommend enjoying it with Tingmo on the side, which complements the flavours wonderfully. The hummus was delicious and served as a perfect light bite while we sipped on some excellent Picantes to begin the evening. The pork chilli was also very enjoyable. The Ema Datshi was flavourful, and personally it could benefit from a touch more spice and depth to better suit my bolder North Indian palate. A special mention to Viraf, the owner, who was an incredibly gracious host and ensured we had a warm, attentive hospitality throughout the evening. I will certainly be back for the lovely flavours, thoughtful dishes and welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in South Bombay this is a must visit!

Most unusual and enjoyable menu. The chefs have finally nailed a different and curated tasteful menu. Lovvee the cocktails and the meat is cooked with love and care.. A must go if you enjoy tasting food from different regions and have an accepting palette.

It's a good place to try out non veg food. The food is decent but it's expensive and the quantity is less. The ambience is nice. They have candles and it could be a good place to go for a date, etc. The tables are however small and difficult to eat comfortably if you order more dishes. The service was mixed. They suggest food nicely however they don't serve the items on your plates. Even the items were not very hot and lukewarm on general. Overall good for tasting and exploring once.
