With mouth-watering cuisine, some of the world's finest alcohol and exceptional service, all under an incredibly stylish, convertible roof, you won't regret the long wait for a table at Hakkasan, Bandra's newest fine dining experience
Following his successes with Wagamama, the innovative noodle bar that familiarised Londoners with community- style- dining, and Busaba Eathai, the outstandingly stylish Thaifood haven, a decade ago, Alan Yau introduced Londoners to Hakkasan, a restaurant that would completely redefine the world's expectations of Chinese cuisine. The Japanese honorific " San" was added to Yau's ancestral, " Hakka" lineage to pay homage to his roots, but it's the unmatched cuisine here that truly evidences the culinary- master's deep- seated reverence not just for his cultural background but for cooking which he once claimed he felt as deeply about as Bruce Lee did about martial arts.

Now just around the corner from Bandra's Moti Mahal, Hakkasan with its spectacular trademark interiors, is guaranteed to transport you out of this city. Panels flushed with blue light and traditional Chinese motifs crafted in dark wood and imbued with a modern, Western aesthetic dominate the space. In the dining area, water ripples projected on an extraordinarily high ceiling create a fantastic, almost hypnotic effect. The ceiling opens up like a convertible car -- so come winter and the space will sport a different vibe.
