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!

Wasabi By Morimoto

Wasabi is very well known among Mumbaikars. After all, it’s more than two decades old and one of the best when it comes to Japanese fine dining in the city. 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.

Koishii

Koishii, which means ‘to do something for someone you love,’ is a mood and a rather romantic one at that.

Their Omakase experience is indulgent and rooted in creativity and technique. When coming here, expect nothing less than theatrical presentation, fusion flavours from Chef Lan & Chef Jesus, and skyline views that make your experience so worth it.

Expect ramen bowls that warm your soul, crunchy tempura that hits the right spot, and yakitori skewers that you won’t get enough of.
