The Tasting Room - Mumbai

Ambience is awesome....food is very good...polite staff....huge variety of wines...

There is no consistency on the taste. Last time I visited, the veg sandwich was awesome and the taste complimented the high price of the same... This time.. veg sandwich was pathetic and it did not justified the amount I paid for the same.

Awesome experience - great food - a must visit for anyone visiting Mumbai for the first time ?

Be ready to be transported back in time when you visit The Tasting Room in Lower Parel. High Ceilings, glass chandeliers, handworked crockery are all packed into this restaurant's ambience. The food and ambience blend together to create a magical experience. Food: The menu is mainly continental. The plating and presentation are top notch. Although the name might suggest that the portions are small, we found that the food portions were both good and satisfying. Starter: Thin Sliced Parma Ham - Flat Bread. We started our meal with a tasting plate (starter) called Thin Sliced Parma Ham - Flat Bread. This dish consisted of flat bread (thin cracker pieces) covered in chevre (which is a type of goat's cheese) and ham, along with strips of apple and hazelnuts. Both savory and sweet with the ham and apple flavors blending well together. Soup: smoked chicken broth The tasting room offers a mini soup bowl, basically 1 by 2 which allowed us to share this amazing broth, which is the perfect remedy for a cold rainy day. The soup consisted of a boiled egg, chicken strips, vegetables which included radish, cucumber and spinach. All in all, a very savory broth. Main Course: Baked Stuffed Chicken with Spinach and Beet bordelaise We had the baked stuffed chicken as the main course which was a chicken breast covered in a fine batter with a filling of chicken. The chicken was plated on a bed of spinach. This was served with a Beet sauce which was a sweet concoction, to add a bit of sweetness to the dish. The chicken was cooked well and was really filling. The spinach was done well also and contributed to the dish. Simple and done well. Dessert: We were not sure whether to try the Chocolate Pudding or the Gianduja Mousse. Our server recommended the later and we were also keen to try out the Chilli Ice-cream which comes along with it. We were not disappointed. The Gianduja Mousse is a chocolate hazelnut mousse which was complemented with the sweet yet spicy chilli ice-cream. The ice-cream was sweet but gave you a spicy aftertaste with each bite. A must try in my opinion. Both sweet and spicy seems to be a combination which the tasting room has mastered. All in all, the food was delicious and filling. All the dishes arrived in a relatively short time and we also enjoyed the bread appetizers with the soup. Ambience & Seating: As mentioned earlier, this place has some serious old school charm. The walls are painted with soothing pastel hues. The decor is victorian with glass chandeliers hanging low over the tables and soothing lighting. The plates and glasses are good earth products which are delicately beautiful and artsy. The place is large. There are high tables for couples and for larger groups, large rectangular tables where 8 - 10 can sit comfortably. Pricing: The bill for our meal came up to around INR 2000. This seemed reasonably priced for the amount of food we ordered. You are paying for the overall experience after all. This is slightly on the steep side but I think it is well deserved. Verdict: All in all, a great place for a quiet meal or a date. The Tasting Room was an absolute treat for our eyes and taste buds. Will definitely visit again

Its really classy here. Fancy and expensive. There is hardly any music but the food, cutlery, dishes, glasses, and the lights will make your day.

This is one of the best places in Mumbai for a romantic dinner. This place has a great ambiance and a very rustic vibe. All of the food here is very good. The drink menu is nice too. Bellini is great. Do come here for a date.

Glad that we went to this place. Our 1st outing since March 2020. We were the only ones at 11am as we finished our Visa work nearby n came for an early lunch. Super ambience, very chic and everything good that people have already written. It did justice to our plans to have a classy meal after such a long time. Thanks to the team for attending to us, like everyone seem to have come n greeted us. 5 star rating for all the aspects. Thankyou.

Great ambience, but average food. Most of the food that I ordered was really bland, specially the fried chicken. Would not recommend for food, but can be visited for the ambience and some great coffee.
