Savōttam
Named by his Grandmother to denote ‘the best of the best’, with his newest venture chef Sachin Mistry marries his Michelin-star restaurant experience with culinary traditions from his heritage to present a passionately curated eight-course tasting menu of modern Indian cuisine. Henna Zinzuwadia also lends her wine expertise, providing a pairing to complement each of the courses deftly prepared by Sachin and chef Ben Bisazza, typically in an open kitchen directly in front of a small number of guests.

He brings a tongue-in-cheek humour to the names of his dishes, injecting playfulness into this upscale expedition.
