How this list is chosen: Restaurants serving a tasting menu or omakase, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
Avartana
Avartana sits in airport-side Andheri East, where Mumbai’s hotel dining culture often serves business travel as much as destination dining. Its appeal is the contemporary Indian tasting-room idea: regional ingredients and familiar references treated with a more composed, urban format than the city’s traditional banquet restaurants.
Avatara
Recognised by the We're Smart Green Guide for sophisticated, colourful pure-plant cuisine, and noted for a non-alcoholic drinks menu that holds its own against the wine list, it sits at a tier of Mumbai dining where ambition and sourcing discipline define the offer.
Ekaa
Ekaa occupies the first floor of a colonial-era building in Fort, one of Mumbai's most architecturally layered neighbourhoods, where chef Niyati Rao applies a rigorous, ingredient-led lens to Indian cooking. The restaurant sits within a wave of contemporary Indian kitchens reshaping how the city eats, drawing on deep culinary traditions while refusing the nostalgia trap.
Masque
Ranked #68 on the World's 50 Best Restaurants (2025) and scoring 94 points on La Liste's 2026 list, Masque occupies a converted textile mill in Mahalakshmi and operates at the leading edge of contemporary Indian cooking. Chef Varun Totlani's ten-course tasting menu draws on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients to reframe familiar Indian flavours through a rigorous modern lens.
Papa’s
Papa's in Mumbai delivers a Modern Indian tasting experience led by Chef Hussain Shahzad. The 13-course tasting menu highlights Thayir saadam, a binka tart with truffle and chenna pora with caviar. In a 12-seat setting above Veronica's Sandwich shop in Bandra's Ranwar village, Papa's blends homegrown Mumbai flavors with global technique, honoring Floyd Cardoz. Recognized on TIME's World's Greatest Places 2025, the restaurant pairs lively service with carefully prepared textures and bold spice notes, a welcome shot at the bar, and precise, ingredient-forward courses that shift from comforting curd rice to luxurious caviar finishes.
Wasabi by Morimoto
Wasabi by Morimoto occupies a quietly commanding position inside the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Colaba, where Japanese technique meets Indian ingredient sensibility at one of Mumbai's most consistently recognised dining addresses. Booking well ahead is advisable, particularly during the October-to-March season peak.
Yauatcha Mumbai
Yauatcha Mumbai brings the London dim sum institution's format to Bandra Kurla Complex, operating within a tier of Indian Chinese dining that few restaurants in the city occupy. Recognized on La Liste's global restaurant rankings in both 2025 and 2026, it draws a corporate and social crowd for whom the combination of precise Cantonese-influenced cooking and a polished floor operation matters as much as the food itself.
Ziya
Positioned among Asia's ranked fine-dining tables by both La Liste and Opinionated About Dining, Ziya at The Oberoi Mumbai brings Vineet Bhatia's contemporary Indian approach to Nariman Point. The room sits within one of the city's most formally composed hotel dining spaces, operating lunch and dinner seven days a week for guests who want structured Indian cuisine at a serious address.
