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.

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.

Okay so being from Bengal, I didn’t realise I would find such amazing darjeeling food right in the hustle bustle of SoBo. Across is Himalayan food reimagined and oh, so so good. The churpi yak cheese is too die for. The fried bread with cheese on top is an absolute must try. Darjeeling Aloo Dum and Cheese Gnudi are my absolute favourites. This place excels better at veg food than non veg. The pork belly can be made better. Even the chicken kothey. But nonetheless, the cocktails more than makes up for it. To end the night, don’t forget to try their warm walnut and chocolate cake with churpi shavings on top. The best sweet to keep you salivating throughout the night with a smile.

This restaurant serves Himalayan belt food from different parts of regions, and honestly the food was phenomenal. I ordered Darjeeling Aloo dum, Pork momos, Mutton Thenthuk, for dessert I had Mountain Road Brownie

Really enjoyed the comforting food with such a variety of different flavours and colours, plus the warm service. We tried small and big plates, good portions too. While it was absolutely delicious, some more Himachali apples in the dessert would have been appreciated, it did not seem in line with its menu description. Extensive bar menu. My margarita was quite strong, but the second cocktail - a wonderful gin kefir lime concoction - felt a little watered down. Even for Bombay, the table for two is tight - too small really, especially when the other table for two next to us was occupied. It would've been awful if the big table for six on the other side had been taken as well. The decor is at odds, doesn't match the warmth of the food and booking a table is a slightly cumbersome process, but overall, a hearty experience...I'd definitely go back.
