#blahvsfood: We need to be talking a LOT more about Across, Mumbai
We need to be talking more about Across.. a LOT more. For me this is one of the best restaurants in the city. I keep this private list of India’s top 50 restaurants and I put this at number 15. That’s how good it is. Because this is one hell of a special restaurant. And even though it’s a big success, somehow it never gets the hype or buzz or recognition that many lesser places do. Across serves food from the Himalayas, rooted in Nepal where one of the founders, Chef Prakriti Lama Patel comes from, but traversing the entire range southwards and eastwards. I loved that this wasn’t “Modern Himalayan” but it also wasn’t Yeti. Prakriti and her partner, the legendary Chef Viraf Patel have kept all the traditional flavours and comfort of the original dishes, but they have used technique to add layers of refinement and sophistication in subtle and unexpected ways.
