"Why do Mumbaiites go wild for the seasonal ₹5,200, 10-course tasting menu at Masque? It’s an experience, and one that begins when you step into the elegant dining room housed in a former textile mill. The pendant lamps hanging from the high ceiling, the lab-like, glowing bar, and the metal sculpture rising from the floor (inspired by the Mahalaxmi and Parel skylines) create the perfect setting to impress a date, celebrate, or listen to your server tell stories about all the locally sourced or foraged produce you’re about to consume. The themed menu could be inspired by a region, season, or way of cooking, like a Kashmiri winter or Jodhpur’s khad cooking. Whatever wonders emerge from the kitchen, like a pit-cooked quail and tiny puran poli topped with crab and amti, they employ top-tier kitchen chops to make us beam with equal parts joy and astonishment. You’ll need to book a week in advance for weekdays, and further ahead for weekend tables. " - roshni bajaj sanghvi
