Indego by Vineet

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a mixed experience. To start with the positives, the presentation of the food was good and the ambience of the restaurant was also quite pleasant with a great view of the Marina. The staff were courteous and helpful with recommendations. However, the quality of the food itself was underwhelming. While it looked great, the flavors and execution didn’t quite match the high expectations set by the presentation. Some dishes felt bland or lacked the depth and balance one would hope for. The dining area was quite empty even though we visited on a weekend. While this meant a quieter and more relaxed dining experience, it also made us wonder whether the lack of a crowd was a reflection of the food quality. Overall, this place has potential with its beautiful setting and excellent service, but the food needs improvement to truly deliver a memorable dining experience.

We had the pleasure of experiencing a whole new level of gourmet Indian dining at Indego by Vineet. This Michelin-recommended restaurant beautifully blends modern and innovative presentation, offering contemporary Indian cuisine crafted by celebrity Chef Vineet Bhatia. Their sharing-style menu features street food-inspired favorites and dishes cooked on a griddle, clay oven, grill, and stew pot. Our meal began with a trio of papads served with three distinct chutneys, followed by an amuse bouche and a signature Chaat Trilogy—potato chaat, papdi chat, and a cold dahi Bhalla ice-cream. The combination of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors, along with the contrasting textures of the cold ice-cream and crunchy papdi, was a truly delightful sensory experience. From the tandoor, we tried the Pistachio Lamb Chops, which came with a pistachio-coriander chutney and a playful potato jalebi. The vibrant green pistachios added both a visual appeal and a subtle crunch. The Sundried Tomato Prawns, buttery and lightly spiced, were served with a crib squid ink puchka—a bold and flavorful dish. Our personal favorite was the Charcoal Mustard Salmon—tender, honey-glazed salmon served with a dill cucumber raita. We also loved the Malai Broccoli, which featured creamy florets atop Manchurian lotus stems, paired with crispy rice idiyappam. The Chicken Maharani, marinated in black Punjabi lentils and cooked in a rich dhaba sauce, was incredibly flavorful. For the main course, we enjoyed the Lamb Morel-Guchi Korma infused with truffle ghee—an unforgettable dish with hints of coconut and a touch of truffle aroma—paired perfectly with garlic coriander naan, black olive-rosemary naan, and Lacha butter naan. The Dum Parda Chicken Biryani, served with pomegranate yogurt sauce, was fragrant, flavorful, and mildly spiced. Dessert was a visual and taste sensation—a beautiful kulfi platter shaped into a lotus flower, featuring banana kulfi, malai, and sorbet flavors with the central rim made of a vibrant red colored crunchy vermicelli.

Visited for a team dinner on 31st Jan. The ambience is 10/10, but the food was nothing as exceptional which should crave you to visit again. We ordered set menu both veg and non veg and nothing I mean nothing which we felt was out of box in terms of taste, though the presentation was nice. With set menu the main course was served all together with we finding server to help serve and with table near open place all food was cold and the best part which we felt was missing in service was coordination. We asked guy to get some breads, which took time and meanwhile we checked with another one and after some time they both landed with breads.. no communication rather poor mismanagement leading food wastage. We asked to see the manager and nobody turned up, guess they don't believe in feedback. Anyhow we paid the bill and moved on. Definitely out of 9 pax we were no one is paying second visit to this place.

I’ve been coming here since my sister brought me almost 14 years ago. The place has changed a lot but the food is still wonderful. My sister visited recently and insisted that we eat here and she said it was as good as she remembered. Special thanks to our server, Jonathan, who helped me out with gluten free options and explained all the items on the menu to us patiently. We ordered the dal maharani and the butter chicken as well as an egg dish (kheema I believe). We also had the gianduja dessert. Everything was delicious. We booked an early table and the place fills up fast. Definitely recommended for a memorable meal.

Wonderful experience! Loved our dining experience. The staff, especially Ujjwal was very helpful and courteous, and took great care of us during the entire course of the meal. The desserts are 5/5, do not miss. Would definitely come back.

We went to this place with high expectations but sorry to say the food & service was pathetic. The pudina parantha had no pudina , the cheese parantha was also bad . Was not fresh & crispy at all . The food took too long to be served and the waiters were also not bothered . Plz avoid this place if you are looking for good food ! The manager Mr. Jacob was kind enough to accept our review and apologised genuinely.
