5 Best Omakase Bars In Bombay For A Personalised Culinary Experience

Ever dreamt of a bar where you walk in and simply let the chef take control of what you’ll eat? No menus to flip through, no dish decisions to make, just pure trust in culinary artistry. That dream is now very much a reality, thanks to the rise of Omakase bars. The concept is borrowed from the Japanese tradition, Omakase, which translates to ‘I leave it up to you,’ and it has quickly become a whole new experience for people who want more than just dinner.

And while India is no stranger to Japanese cuisine, Mumbai’s dining scene has taken things a notch higher with its still-growing list of stylish Omakase bars, and we’re here for it. Bookmark this list of Omakase bars in Bombay for a unique culinary experience!

Tucked inside the iconic Taj Mahal Palace, it’s a favourite among celebrities. This Michelin-recognised restaurant is headed by the celebrity chef Masaharu Morimoto, and what truly sets it apart is its seasonal Omakase menu, where each dish is nothing less than impressive.
