Musaafer

Dinner in a shopping mall doesn’t sound promising, unless you’re headed to Musaafer. The sheer scale of this grand hall, with its arches, towering windows, labyrinth-like layout and elaborate patterns, feels like a palace of its own. The setting is as thrilling as the food, with different menus reflecting the chef's travels around India. A crisp, delicate achappam is a lovely opener before scallop ceviche with green apple cilantro water. A short rib taco adds a little fun but do order the Malabari fish curry with a light and fluffy paratha. Desserts are delicate, subtle and skillful. The attention to detail and careful spicing is evident at every turn, and the final result is one of both high style and utterly gratifying substance.
