Food:
Helmed
by
Mr.
Prateek
Sadhu
(with
stints
at
Alinea,
Noma,
etc.)
in
the
past,
this
restaurant
offers
a
true
Michelin
star
experience!
This
is
one
of
the
finest
and
memorable
culinary
experiences
one
could
possibly
have
in
Mumbai
or
perhaps
even
India,
thanks
to
the
seasonal
and
ingredient-driven
menu
here!
On
this
day,
they
showcased
many
elements
from
the
cuisines
of
Kashmir/Ladakh
and
Kerala.
We
had
the
Chef's
10-Course
Tasting
Menu
(Non-Vegetarian).
We
also
got
4
cocktails:
5
Pollen,
Coral,
Gamble,
and
Nekaseru.
Each
dish
was
presented
beautifully.
There
was
also
one
course
which
was
supposed
to
be
experienced
at
the
kitchen.
We
got
a
good
tour
of
the
kitchen
thanks
to
that!
The
starters
were:
one
with
drumsticks,
one
with
corn,
and
one
with
duck/achaar.
I
really
loved
the
one
with
achaar
and
duck,
it
was
a
bit
spicy
and
flavorful.
We
then
had
a
cactus
and
cucumber
salad.
We
then
were
presented
with
tender
BBQ
Coorg
Pork
with
crispy
ambemohar
rice
at
the
top.
Next
on
the
menu
was
creamy
kakka
(clam
meat)
tortellinis
in
sour
and
spicy
rasam.
This
was
my
friend's
favourite
on
the
menu!
Next
up
was
a
Rajasthani
king's
treat
with
quail
and
a
flaky
parotta-like
flatbread.
This
was
my
favourite
on
the
menu.
The
crispy
texture
of
the
parotta
complemented
the
soft
and
tender
texture
of
quail.
Delicious!
At
the
kitchen,
we
had
a
humble
preparation
of
pomelo,
kokum,
and
ginger
ale
sorbet
as
our
palate
cleanser.
The
last
main
was
lamb,
onion
gravy,
and
sheermal,
except
in
this
case,
the
sheermal
was
more
fluffy
like
a
pav.
The
onion
gravy
though
not
fermented
had
the
depth
of
a
fermented
one.
For
desserts,
we
had
one
with
mulberries
and
nendran
bananas.
The
next
dessert
was
for
chocolate
lovers:
a
brilliant
chocolate
ice
cream
infused
with
the
aromatic
gondhoraj
or
kaffir
lime
that
transported
me
to
Thailand
briefly.
The
final
dessert
was
hazelnut
and
Pondicherry
dark
chocolate
kitkat
and
sea
buckthorns
with
poppy
seeds.
Out
of
the
four
cocktails,
we
especially
loved
the
Nekaseru
for
its
tartness
thanks
to
the
passion
fruit
in
it.
And
we
also
loved
the
5
Pollen
(campari,
hibiscus,
sparkling
rosé).
...
Service:
The
best
service
I
have
seen
so
far!
The
staff
were
pretty
knowledgeable,
polite
and
friendly,
interactive,
and
explained
all
the
dishes
enthusiastically.
I
had
a
lot
of
fun
interacting
with
them.
They
even
replaced
the
dish
with
drumsticks
feeling
it
might
have
gotten
soggy
without
us
telling
a
word.
...
Ambience:
Very
warm
and
relaxing,
the
décor
screams
industrial.
Especially
loved
the
music
which
was
very
mellow
and
elegant!
They
have
two
settings:
one
being
regular
and
the
other
being
meant
for
cocktails/drinks
called
'The
Living
Room'.
...
What
could
have
been
better
for
me:
Highly
expensive,
could
have
been
a
little
more
affordable
for
the
ordinary
people.
Burns
a
hole
in
your
wallet!
The
portion
size
though
understandable
is
small
as
well.
Expected
an
oyster
preparation
or
slightly
more
exotic
albeit
non-seasonal
ingredients
such
as
scallops
or
sea
urchins!
The
cocktails
are
extremely
expensive
as
well!
No
dining
discounts/offers
for
those
who
booked
a
table
directly
by
contacting
the
restaurant!
Better
to
book
your
tables
through
EazyDiner
for
discounts.
...
Any
serious
foodie/gourmand
who
loves
fine
dining
ought
to
visit
this
place!
If
you
would
like
to
experience
something
new,
innovative,
unique,
and
memorable,
head
here
without
a
second
thought!
This
restaurant
has
inspired
me
a
lot
and
taught
me
a
lot
about
regional
ingredients
and
Indian
food
in
general.
Visiting
Masque
has
made
me
want
to
visit
other
similar
restaurants
such
as
Indian
Accent!
I
will
be
back
here
one
day,
hungry
and
thirsty
for
more!
