Megu
is
the
Japanese
Speciality
Restaurant
located
in
The
Leela
Palace
,
New
Delhi.
Megu
was
one
of
the
first
Michelin
Starred
Restaurant
to
open
it's
door
in
India
(
New
York
Megu
has
a
Michelin
star).
Once
you
enter
the
beautiful
property
,
is
when
the
experience
starts
.
The
courteous
hotel
staff
greeted
us
and
we're
willing
to
walk
us
down
to
the
Restaurant.
Megu
is
located
in
the
right
hand
corner
of
the
lobby
area
,
just
next
to
the
library
bar
,
giving
it
a
nice
secluded
feel.
It
was
Saturday
night
and
we
had
our
reservation
,
which
helped
us
secure
our
table
as
after
sometime
the
whole
restaurant
was
packed.
The
wait
staff
took
us
to
our
table
and
greeted
us
wonderfully.
The
restaurant
is
divided
into
multiple
sections
-
a
main
dining
room,
Sushi
table
next
to
the
chef
and
another
dining
room.
We
luckily
were
given
our
seat
in
the
Main
Dining
room
,
which
is
the
place
to
be.
The
ambience
is
just
amazing
,
dark
in
the
colour
tone
but
with
more
than
enough
light
.
The
centre
piece
of
attraction
is
the
giant
Buddha
Statue
Sculpted
out
of
Glass
and
on
top
of
it
a
giant
Japanese
Bell
with
red
on
the
inside
,
just
makes
for
a
perfect
look.
We
were
attended
by
definitely
the
best
Server
or
Manager
in
the
place
and
his
name
was
Pavan.
He
was
just
very
warm
and
welcoming
.
He
helped
us
in
ordering
and
answering
all
questions
we
had.
Before
the
menu
was
given
to
us
we
were
given
Wet
Towels
to
clean
our
hands
.
That
in
itself
is
a
great
sign
of
service
and
it's
very
rarely
seen
in
restaurants.
We
had
a
glass
of
Red
Wine
along
with
our
food
which
was
very
nice
and
was
the
Fratelli
Sette.
We
ordered
3
starters
,
2
Mains
and
a
rice
on
his
recommendation
and
honestly
it
was
way
more
than
what
we
could
have
,
so
at
the
end
of
the
Meal
we
had
to
pack
quite
a
bit
of
food.
The
food
served
here
is
Japanese
but
mostly
Modern
Japanese.
And
most
of
the
things
we
ordered
,
actually
just
by
our
food
choice
and
preference
,
were
the
signature
dishes
of
the
restaurant.
For
starters
we
ordered
-
Yellowtail
Carpaccio
,
Dragon
Sushi
Roll
and
Chicken
Yakitori
Skewers.
The
Yellowtail
Carpaccio
and
Dragon
Rolls
were
Signature
dishes.
The
first
dish
to
arrive
was
the
Yellowtail
Carpaccio
.
Carpaccio
inherently
is
an
Italian
Dish
of
very
Thinly
Slices
Meat
with
a
sauce
or
an
oil
.
Japanese
cuisine
also
incorporated
this
style
of
food
but
use
japanese
sauces
and
fish
instead
of
meat
.
We
ordered
the
Yellowtail
Carpaccio
which
came
with
7
pieces
of
Yellowtail
,
so
thinly
sliced
that
it
was
close
to
transparent.
The
Fish
was
topped
with
an
Onion
Jam
,
Daikon
Oroshi
Dressing
,
Crispy
Garlic
Chips
and
Mushrooms.
Once
the
dish
was
placed
,
Pavan
told
us
that
all
their
Fish
comes
from
the
world
famous
Tsukiji
Market
of
Japan
.
The
dish
was
excellent
,
very
beautiful
and
tasty
.
The
fish
was
light
and
the
Dressing
really
highlighted
the
fish
very
beautifully.
The
Garlic
Chip
just
gave
a
great
contrast
to
the
light
flavour
and
the
mushrooms
just
added
a
great
delicate
mouth
feel
to
the
dish.
Amazing
dish
and
very
well
executed.
Next
dish
to
come
to
our
table
was
the
Dragon
Sushi
Roll
,
Another
Signature
Dish.
They
have
traditional
Nigiris
,
Sushi
and
Sushi
Rolls
.
Sushi
Rolls
generally
are
5-6
Pieces
,
but
the
Dragon
roll
is
the
only
sushi
roll
which
comes
with
8
pieces
.
The
Sushi
comes
along
with
Ginger
and
Wasabi
,
but
they
even
brought
out
a
fresh
root
of
Wasabi
which
Pavan
Grated
in
front
of
us
to
serve
us
Fresh
Wasabi.
The
Fresh
Wasabi
was
amazing
,
I
am
a
fan
of
Wasabi
but
the
fresh
Wasabi
was
next
level
for
sure.
The
Sushi
was
beautiful
.
The
Dragon
Roll
consists
of
Avocado
and
Tempura
Flakes
on
top
,
drizzled
with
Dragon
sauce.
The
Seafood
used
in
the
Sushi
is
-
Shrimp
,
Crab
and
Eel.
The
Sushi
was
stuffed
with
loads
of
seafood
and
the
size
of
each
Sushi
was
great
.
Flavour
no
doubt
was
the
best
I
have
had
and
really
the
combination
of
seafood
with
avocado
and
Tempura
Flakes
was
great
.
The
Dragon
sauce
was
a
bit
sweet
and
spicy
at
the
same
time.
Highly
recommend
this
Sushi
for
first
time
goers
as
they
will
love
it
.
Next
was
the
Chicken
Yakitori.
