Some dinners are about eating; others are about making a night of it. Mumbai has no shortage of the second kind. The luxury dining scene here moves well beyond one kind of experience. There are grand hotel dining rooms, ambitious tasting menus, modern Indian cooking, Asian fine dining and those tables where the setting alone changes the mood. These are the places to keep in mind when an ordinary dinner just won’t do.

The rugged character of India’s North-West Frontier comes through in both the food and setting here.

Reclamation, Bandra West, Mumbai
Nikkei cuisine is the reason to put this one on the luxury-dining list, bringing together Japanese techniques and Peruvian influences in a format that feels distinctly contemporary.

Yauatcha

Bandra Kurla Complex
Dim sum gets a polished, contemporary setting here, bringing the London-born Cantonese dining concept to Mumbai. The menu goes well beyond a quick basket of dumplings, but dim sum is still the obvious place to begin if you’re visiting for the first time. With its darker, sophisticated interiors and full dinner menu, it works equally well for a leisurely lunch, a celebration or a night when you want Asian food with a little ceremony.Vibe Check: Blue Dim-Lit Backdrop, Floor-To-Ceiling Glass Windows, Minimalist Wooden Accents, PolishedWhat to Order: Stir Fried Chicken In Black Bean Sauce, Spicy Fried Rice - Veg, YM Taste of Yauatcha
