Mumbai (Bombay)
Daring and imaginative Masala Library dangles the contemporary Indian carrot to foodies and gastronauts, challenging them to rethink their notions of subcontinent cuisine. The tasting menus are an exotic culinary journey – think wild-dehydrated-mushroom chai with truffle-oil crumbs; langoustine moilee (seafood curry) with gunpowder mash; and a betel-leaf fairy floss to finish.
Reservations essential.
