Indigo, Colaba, Mumbai

The Chef's Kitchen
The 100 Word review is not easy. And to say I liked the first menu the most is unfair as its now tinged with the colour of wonderful memories. But booking a table will get you personalised menus. The staff is extraordinarily polite and not at all elitist. It is an upscale, expensive fine dining restaurant with the owner's heart firmly in his "pet project". I have seen Rahul Akerkar on busy nights come out of the kitchen and help clear up.

New, hip bars that have opened up in the area after Indigo made Colaba the chicest dining district. And they have only served to improve the experience at Indogo. The press of people has dropped to a steady stream of the city's swish set. The music is definitely lounge and conversation is a pleasure.

The decor is interesting with colour blocking and culinary art works, but doesn't take away nor does it pretend of add to the dining experience. The food is King, country and content.
