Wasabi By Morimoto - The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.

Wasabi by Morimoto at The Taj Mahal Palace has anchored Mumbai’s high-end dining scene for two decades, bridging traditional Japanese techniques with Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s modern flair. The menu relies on ingredients flown in daily from Japan, resulting in standout dishes like the black cod miso and toro tartare. While it excels at classics, the kitchen is notably adept at catering to local palates with an extensive selection of inventive vegetarian sushi. The space, designed by the Rockwell Group, features a striking cherry blossom installation and hand-crafted joinery, but the real visual draw is the clear view of the Gateway of India. For those seeking privacy, a central sculptural table offers an intimate setting for eight, complete with a dedicated chef. Small, personal touches, such as custom-engraved chopsticks for regulars, underscore the attentive service.
