Last weekend, I found myself in the heart of Mumbai, craving something extraordinary. And what I stumbled upon was nothing short of a gastronomic revelation—Bastian - At The Top. Perched on the 48th floor of Kohinoor Square in Dadar, this place isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a mesmerising experience that elevates dining to new heights (quite literally!).

Alchemy of Aesthetics

Walking into Bastian feels like stepping into a mythological tale crafted by the gods of luxury and comfort. The decor, conceptualised by Minal Chopra and Ranjit Bindra, is an immersive blend of earthy tones and dreamy vibes. Every corner of this 450-seater space is a testament to Shilpa Shetty's vision of aesthetic brilliance. From the 'Forest' main bar area to the intimate fine dining section, it's a visual banquet.

Culinary Classics

Oh, the food! Chef Amol Phute's magic in the kitchen is undeniable. The menu? An epic saga of flavours. The Burrata Salad, Avocado Poke, and the show-stopping Lobster Bomb had me at hello. And for my fellow seafood lovers, the Steamed Garlic Prawns are a must-try.

Bastian Bliss

The cocktail menu, crafted by mixologist Krishna, is a symphony of innovative blends. Sipping on the Whiskey Sour while soaking in the city skyline was an experience in itself. Whether you're here to unwind or celebrate, Bastian’s bar scene is a thrill.

Elevated Dining Experience

What truly sets Bastian apart is its ability to marry luxury with nature. The panoramic rooftop views, coupled with Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s finesse and commitment to quality, offer a dining journey that's nothing short of magical.

My Final Thoughts

As I descended from this culinary paradise, I couldn’t help but feel that Bastian - At The Top is more than just a meal; it's a journey—an ascent to luxury and a feast for the senses. So, if you're in Mumbai and looking to elevate your dining experience, you know where to go. Trust me, it's an adventure you won’t forget.
