Ekaa

Bhavana Jayanth★★★★★

Ekaa is probably a well kept secret in Mumbai (no influencer marketing, no reserve one month in advance and bookings close in one minute) and what you get is Excellent food and service. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys fine dining. My husband and I went to Ekaa on a Tuesday evening. It was surprisingly easy to get a reservation (after dining there I expected it to be booked weeks in advance, it was so good). I had the 20 course vegetarian tasting menu and my partner a non veg one. The food was really good and well thought out. Flavours were complex and the textures wonderful. We only had 2 drinks but they were standout too. Our favourites were the tomato dish, an almond soup, crust, roots, the Harry Potter and cacao desserts. I liked that there were dishes inspired from different parts of the world and the flavour profile was likewise varied and not based on a single cuisine. The service, explanations and a nice conversation with the head chef made for a really good evening. The pr

"Thank you for the effort and hospitality. To be honest, the experience didn't work for me. Spending 3.5 hours at the table was quite difficult, especially because most of the dishes didn't resonate with my palate. Out of the 20 courses, only a handful stood out. While I could appreciate the creativity and presentation, I found many of the dishes lacked the flavor impact and memorability I was hoping for. By the end, the length of the meal felt more challenging than enjoyable." Presence of flies in the dining area further affected the experience

I had an amazing time at Ekaa! The Team gives the best hospitality and everyone is so nice. "It was one of the best food experiences in quite a long time." Chef Niyati Rao is brilliant, and her food is wonderful. A big thank you to Kaustubh for his great service. They all made our night very special!

An exceptional fine dining destination that truly stands out for its thoughtfully curated cuisine. Each dish is meticulously crafted, reflecting a high level of creativity and attention to detail. The ambience is serene and inviting, offering a calm and refined dining experience. The open kitchen concept adds a unique touch, allowing guests to appreciate the culinary process firsthand. The staff is highly courteous and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the ingredients and even providing a guided walkthrough of the space, which enhances the overall experience.

We walked in to Ekaa with extremely high expectations of their Tasting Menu but were super disappointed. Two courses were sent back by us after the first bite itself. Another one was sent back by me because it was way too bitter. What’s surprising was the lack of understanding of how an ingredient works when its structure changes. A soup featuring kewda foam felt like drinking a biryani. Is the Indian palette so difficult to understand? The keyword was “hyper-local ingredients” which was pure sham as the only local thing was amaranth or laal maath, that too, raw. None of their dishes hit the mark except the fish roulade which had some freshness. Others felt like experiments to impress technique-wise with no attempt to satiate the foodie’s soul.

Ekaa is a great food experience which digs deep into Indian spices and ancient understanding of gastronomy to create food that is fantastic. It brings different flavors, ingredients and moves to create a gym class for your palate, getting you to experience food unlike anything else. Starting with the cocktails and all the way to the dessert, the bold concoctions continue and it is something they've got it right. There was enough options for veg, non-veg (seafood, chicken, lamb, pork & duck) for someone open to trying different kinds of food.

Me and a friend stopped by for a drink and tapas here, and first we were impressed by the experimental curated menu of cocktails and food, but we were immediately disappointed the moment the drinks came in. The ayurvedic theme cocktails were absolute fail (even when we went by the recommendation of the staff) Bothe the cocktails we ordered (camphor and jatamanasi) were absolutely overpowering our palates, so much so that we could not enjoy our food immediately after that and left them half way. The Jatamanasi cocktail came with foam on top which was a personal nightmare for me as it invokes gag reflex for me, though the service person seemed nonchalant about my feedback. About food, the sourdough was good but the 'wheat' was something we could not understand.. it was such a missmash of textures and flavours with insane amount of shraded iceberg lettuce that it left us wondering 'what we just had??' We were impressed by the ambience and initially planned to have multiple cocktails each

We got the Christmas tasting menu, some cocktails and some of us got the wine pairing. Overall a great experience considering the price we paid. A tasting menu for the Indian palate should mean you say 'wow' or atleast 'nice' after every course and Ekaa delivered. 5/7 courses were awesome, the fired chicken was a tad salty for me and the last dessert course was just ok. We were too stuffed to appreciate it maybe. Vegetarian food was hit and miss, the carrots we had were underwhelming. In any case, highly recommend trying it if you are in Mumbai. Interestingly they have an ala carte menu as well. I didn't try the cocktails or wine pairing but my party members were happy with it.
