Chefs spray liquid nitrogen on the Gusta Cake for Two

It’s past sundown when we arrive at Luna Gusta, a modern European restaurant nestled on the 37th floor of St Regis, Lower Parel. We are here to savour a culinary experience before the restaurant opens its doors to Mumbai’s swish set, starting tomorrow. Towering over the city at a dizzying height of 500 feet, we warm up to a spectacular view of the Mahalaxmi Racecourse on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other. “But, you’ve just missed the gorgeous sunset by a couple of minutes,” a charming staffer tells, as she leads us to our table. Luna Gusta, as the name suggests, is all about experiencing the alluring energy of a moonlit night. As we look around the plush interiors, we get a feeling of being cocooned in the clouds as the fairy lights dance and twinkle in the otherwise dimly lit space.
