Mumbai's culinary landscape has just been enriched with the opening of Megumi, a luxury Japanese-Pan Asian restobar located in the bustling neighborhood of Bandra. This 6000 sq.ft. dining haven is the brainchild of hospitality icon Mr. Raj Shetty, founder and chairman of Ramee Hospitality, and promises an unforgettable experience for food lovers and those seeking new and exciting dining options.

Megumi is more than just a restaurant; it's a fusion of Japanese Nikkei resto-bar culture and philosophy, offering a unique dining experience that marries the delicate art of Japanese cuisine with ultra-fine-dining flavors. The restaurant's interior, inspired by Brazilian bamboo-weaving culture and designed by Minal Chopra, provides a warm and welcoming ambiance, complemented by modern Japanese cuisine and drinks.

At the helm of Megumi's culinary journey is Chef Raman Udas, an alumnus of the prestigious Zuma in Dubai, where he honed his skills under Chef Reif Othman. Chef Udas brings his expertise and creativity to Megumi, crafting a menu that perfectly aligns with Japanese philosophies and showcases the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, many of which are locally sourced.

The menu at Megumi is a testament to the fusion of cultures, featuring traditional sushi with a twist, innovative ceviches, and a selection of Nikkei cuisine that promises to delight the palate. Highlights include the inventive TOPPOGI, the sumptuous LOBSTER ROLL, the delectable CORN ON COB, and the flavorful TEBASAKI WINGS. The restaurant also features a live sushi bar, offering an array of exotic seafood options, and a diverse menu that caters to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests.

Megumi's cocktail program is an expression of Japanese philosophy, with signature drinks like Wabi Sabi and Kintsugi, each served in a 'kintsungi' glass that embodies the tradition of fixing broken glass with gold. The 'Indie-Asian' section of the menu, featuring ingredients from the Seven Sisters of Northeast India, is a nod to the region's rich culinary heritage.

Rajit V Shetty, MD at Ramee Hospitality, expresses his ambition for Megumi, aiming to elevate every aspect of the dining experience, from service to food quality. "Experience a pinnacle of culinary excellence as we proudly unveil Megumi in the heart of Mumbai.

Sip in Style: Yuki’s Tequila Cocktails Hit All the Right Notes

Sip in Style: Yuki’s Tequila Cocktails Hit All the Right Notes

At Yuki, sipping tequila is no longer just about salt and lime, it’s about exploring bold flavours, subtle aromas, and creative twists inspired by Pan-Asian flair. This stylish spot isn’t just a feast for the palate with its cuisine, but now also delights with a cocktail menu that’s bursting with personality.

Whether you’re a tequila enthusiast or just cocktail-curious, Yuki’s mixologists have designed a lineup that balances classic notes with playful innovation. Here’s what’s pouring:

Pandan Teq-Tea

This one’s a game-changer. A gentle blend of tequila, pandan syrup, and a hint of lime creates a smooth, slightly sweet drink with a vanilla-like aroma. It’s soft, fragrant, and a total crowd-pleaser for those who like their cocktails a little off the beaten path.

Summer in Osaka

If summer had a signature drink, this would be it. Imagine tequila meeting creamy toasted coconut, refreshing coconut water, earthy matcha crème, and a dusting of beetroot. The result? A layered, tropical cocktail that feels like a warm breeze with every sip.

Tuk Tuk Tom

This one’s for the bold-hearted. Inspired by Southeast Asian street flavors, it brings the iconic zing of Tom Yum into your glass. Tequila mingles with chilli heat, parsley freshness, and a citrusy lift from lime, giving you a spicy, herby hit that lingers in the best way.

The Classic Margarita

Some things never go out of style. Yuki’s take on the Margarita keeps it clean and crisp, premium agave, a splash of orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. It’s a simple reminder of why this cocktail became a global favourite in the first place.

Yuki Picante

Think tropical meets spicy. Pineapple juice, lime, and agave nectar form the base, while coriander and jalapeño bring a zesty punch. It's lively, bold, and designed to wake up your taste buds.

Yuki doesn’t just serve cocktails, it curates experiences in a glass. Whether you're out with friends or just winding down after a long day, their tequila range adds the perfect spark to your evening. So the next time you’re at Yuki, raise a glass to flavour, flair, and a sip-worthy adventure.
