Wasabi By Morimoto Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai

Always an epic epicurean gourmand's delight! The sashimi is to die for and the service, impeccable. The wine list is faultless!

When Iron Chef and Nobu star Masaharu Morimoto announced he was opening a restaurant at the grand Taj Mahal Palace hotel in 2004, it was seen as a high-stakes gamble. The restaurant is minimally but expensively decorated, and no one was sure whether locals cared enough for Japanese food to justify the sky-high bills. Yet Morimoto's deft hand and exquisite ingredients turned skeptics into fans, and Wasabi became a see-and-be-seen place to eat. Some of the dishes have subtle American influences, but it's mostly traditional Japanese fare; standouts include dishes like the flounder carpaccio, lightly dressed with sesame and lemon, and the marbled strips of seared teriyaki Kobe steak. The latter, we're told, is most popular with visiting Indian businessmen who are militant vegetarians at home.

The food was amazing. We went Japan 2 years ago and Wasabi reminded us of our time there. Authentic tastes and presentation. We had the tasting menus, vege and non-veg, we throughly enjoy all of our dishes. Ronald our waiter was excellent. The desserts were to die for.

First, yes it is expensive. Second, service is very good, attentive and knowledgeable. We liked most of the dishes except the salmon sushi which was just ok. The Yurine mousse was divine. A great experience.

Hotel taj Mahal mumbai food is just awesome some if u really have more money to spend than one should try Japanese at taj!!!!!!
