Mamagoto

Everything around us is going through a change so why gastronomy should be left behind. Even our conventional stiff-collared cuisines deserve some change from their usual dining pattern and become more adventurous. Image is so important to us nowadays and even fine dining has found a way to jazz things up with a pop of colour and flash of innovation. It has made the diners sit up and take notice of the change happening around them. ‘Mamagoto’ is a step in the right direction and over the short period of time has grown into a popular mini-chain of mid-priced restaurants. After creating major culinary waves in Delhi, the quirky restaurant chain has reached the shores of Mumbai and opened an outlet at posh Hill Road in Bandra West, much to the delight of Mumbaikers.

Mamagoto name has become synonymous with Pan-Asian cuisine, highlighting not only Chinese but also Thai cuisine through its excellent menu.
