INSIDER TIPS

  • This may well be the most successful of the four Masala restaurants so do not just turn up. Book in advance
  • Though the menu draws from Chef Oberoi's Punjabi roots (many of the dishes are inspired by Amritsar favourites), he has been imaginative enough to include influences from Pakistani Punjab as well. If a dish is described as 'Lahori' then be sure to order it for a taste of something original
  • Vegetarians will love the food. The signature dish, 'Aloo Katliyan', does not always work (sometimes the potatoes remain unevenly cooked) so steer clear. But there is a lot more including, unusually for a hotel restaurant, fresh 'Phulkas'

Vir's Verdict

4.0 /5

This was the second of Chef Hemant Oberoi's Masala restaurants to open (after Delhi's Masala Art) and the idea was to draw on traditional recipes, eliminate some of their unhealthier elements and to cook them in glamorous surroundings, vaguely reminiscent of an Indian restaurant in London. There are the usual Masala touches: live counters for cooking, olive oil in many dishes and flour that is freshly milled every day. If you are entertaining a foreign visitor to Bombay, then this is the place to take him.

About Masala Kraft, The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Mumbai

It may seem like Indian food may have undiscovered all they were entitled to but somehow chefs manage to evoke something unexpected from their traditional recipe trunk. It has become sort of an obsession with the chefs to recreate traditional Indian dishes or discover recipes lost in time to entice their patrons. It was with this precise reason that ‘Masala’ restaurants were conjured. Brainchild of Chef Hemant Oberoi of Taj Hotels, Masala restaurants were a way to bring back traditional Indian recipes with a bit more healthier bang and present them in glamourous surroundings. After the success of Masala Art restaurant in New Delhi, the arrival of ‘Masala Kraft’ in Mumbai was much anticipated. Soon the restaurant became an iconic dining destination for North Indian food and gourmets flocked to Taj Mahal Palace at Apollo Bunder, where the restaurant is located, for a taste.
