What is it?

PaPaYa is an eclectically decorated contemporary restaurant with an innovative and experimental menu ranging across Asia. This one is from the makers of Indian restaurants like Masala Library and Made in Punjab.

What’s in it?

Oozing glamour with its dimly lit, crimson-walled interiors, the projection mapping on a continuous installation of 3D hexagons through the restaurant give the space a strange, sci-fi feel. Metal exoskeletons and the high energy music are sure to keep you engaged at the new restaurant of Palladium Mall in Mumbai.

Sip on Lighthouse, a lemongrass infused vodka, shaken with pineapple juice, orange juice and Thai galangal syrup served in a light bulb shaped glass. Yin Yang is another option which is a vodka shaken with caramelised pineapple, cardamom, served in a chilled martini glass topped with Camomile tea foam.

Verdict

Using exotic and imported ingredients for its multi element dishes, Pa Pa Ya has a unique menu to offer. We do wish they expand as the restaurant is small and tables are booked days in advance.
Rating: 4/5 stars
