Colaba, Mumbai. Twenty-four guests an evening
Nine Coursesat Aamod
A modern Indian tasting menu, cooked in the order a good evening unfolds: the coast first, then the hearth, then the fire, and finally something sweet. Two seatings, Tuesday to Sunday.
Autumn menu, served from
October to December
The ritual
Each evening begins with a single frozen bite and ends three hours later with coffee at the counter. Between them, nine plates arrive in an order we have argued over for months, so that every course quietly prepares you for the next.
Three unhurried hoursPlan to arrive at seven or half past nine and to leave when the last cup is empty.
Twenty-four guestsTen seats face the pass at the counter; fourteen sit at quieter tables along the window.
One menu a seasonThe courses change with the market, so the autumn menu will not return in quite this form.
The room
A counter, a pass, and fourteen quiet seats
The dining room was once a printer's workshop, and the long teak counter still follows the line of the old press bed. Ten guests sit facing the pass, close enough to watch each plate composed; the other fourteen sit at tables along the arched windows, where the evening is softer and conversation comes first.
- Counter
- Ten seats facing the kitchen, best for two or for curious solo diners.
- Window
- Seven tables for two, which join for groups of up to six.
- Light
- Low, warm and even, so that the food, rather than the room, is the thing you remember.
