Papa's

I've found my new favorite restaurant in Mumbai, and I can't stop raving about it! Papa’s exceeded my expectations in every way. The real showstopper was the exceptional hospitality from Head Chef Hussain and his team. Their warm welcomes, attentive service, and genuine passion for food made us feel like family. Madhu a great host The meal was a masterclass in culinary excellence. Each course was meticulously crafted and presented: Every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and creativity. Standouts included Wellington and duck biryani . The portions were generous too. What truly sets Papa’s apart is its people. Chef Hussain took the time to explain each dish, shared stories, and ensured we felt at home. His team mirrored his enthusiasm and dedication, Not in just the kitchen but the bar too . Shout out to the young lads and ladies Harish and Kritika If you're seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Mumbai, look no further. Papa’sis a must-visit if you get a reservation. Book your table, and get ready to be wowed!

After a wait of over four months, finally got a table at the twelve seater restaurant, PAPA’S. Thanks to it being a dry day, they had a cancellation and I managed to get a table. Well, it was worth the wait. It’s probably one of the best dining experience one can have. From the moment you enter the restaurant, you feel a lot of warmth from each one of the ten or eleven odd staff. As you enter you are seated at the bar and can have your drinks. We had some nice mock tails. Then you are taken to the main table which seats only twelve guests. Chef Hussain who is at the helm of the affairs gives you a mindblowing experience of a super thirteen course meal. Every dish gives you a taste and flavour like never before. We started of with two tiny starters, the Bebinca inspired by the goanese dessert which had a mixture of black truffles and dates. This was followed by the Chhena Poda which had a tinge of caviar. A super way to start and arouse the pallet. This was followed by the samosa which was tuna. The next item was an interesting one consisting of Trout with watermelon and lime leaf. The fifth item was Thayir Sadam which was their version of curd rice and was simply amazing. Next was their pork char siu Modak. We were then introduced to a corn soup which was very refreshing. The eighth dish was Under the sea which was scallops with jowar and amla. Once again a very unique taste. Apple salad with cherry walnut and celery was their next item. We were now coming to the business end with their two main courses which were obviously meaty dishes. The first was the Lamb Wellington which was the softest meat I have ever had. It was apparently cooked for fourteen hours. This really aroused the taste buds. It was definitely the best dish on the menu. This was followed by their next best, which was What the Duck. This was dry aged and served with Indrayani rice. We now came to the desserts. The first was like an ice cream sandwich toastie made of honey, blue cheese and grape. And finally the curtains were brought down potato chips with lemon truffle and champagne. This was their version of the honey noodle ice cream. The whole experience was two hours and you didn’t want it to end. I would love to go back when they change the menu, but getting a table is a challenge as they are only open for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday. The same group as Bombay Canteen, Veronicas and Oh Pedro. In terms of food and service, nothing comes close. Without doubt their dishes are also the photographer’s delight.

For someone that loves exploring new food and eating out but can sometimes get intimated by the environment, Papa's offers the perfect dining experience. One of the best meals I've ever had in Bombay, every course put a smile on my face and some even brought back memories. Papa's team is so warm and attentive while also managing not to be intrusive. The community style seating with Chef Hussain explaining every plate really does feel like we're at a party with friends. Cannot wait to experience it all again!

Papa’s is undoubtedly India’s best fine dining experience, comparable to amongst the best in the world. The food is eclectic, extremely creative, superb in taste (even for vegetarians) and matches the overall experience created by the ambience, service, and story telling. One is left with simply no scope to find any fault at the end of a long evening that passes really quickly and leaves one wanting more. Take a bow Chef Hussain & Team!

Food of the highest quality. The friendlist staff which enhanced the experience. Everything was great, the cocktails to the food to the conversation. It was our anniversary and they were super nice about it. This is an experience that you must do.

Among the very best dining experiences in the country. It's fine dining without all the stuffy aspects of fine dining which is definitely refreshing. You walk in and feel right at home. 'Cool friend's living room/speakeasy' is the vibe. We got started at the bar where Harish whips up great conversation and exceptional cocktails. It's hard to make a recommendation when all the drinks are fabulous but the Negroni is among the best I've had and the Espresso Martini acts as the perfect nightcap. The great conversation actually continues through the night. Everyone at Papa's is welcoming and just exceptionally good company and when a restaurant propagates that vibe, you sense it seeping into the diners as well. Of course, none of it would matter if the food wasn't great and thankfully, the food is great. I was sold on the first amuse bouche itself and the meal just got better and better from there. The Bugs Bunny, and Wellington were real standouts but the star of the show was What the duck– I had to restrain myself after the second serving. All in all, if you can manage to get a reservation at Papa's you should– without a second thought. I've been to great restaurants in the country and you can argue about the food all you want but as an overall dining experience, Papa's is second to none.

Stellar food, drinks and the entire experience!
