Review Ziya - Mumbai

The food was nice and tasty , service good

We (my wife and I) are so glad that we decided to spend our last night (Dec 29th, 2022) at Hotel Trident Nariman Point, Mumbai, and also have dinner at Ziya Restaurant in The Oberoi, Mumbai. I believe Trident is also part of the Oberoi Hotels. We were thrilled by the room we got to stay that had windows facing the Ocean and the Nariman Point – a phenomenal view both during the day and specially at the night, when one can really see “Queen’s Necklace). The staff at the Trident was extremely pleasant, customer focused and ensured that we were comfortable. We very much appreciated the hospitality offered and had a very memorable stay at the Trident. Dinner at Ziya Restaurant at The Oberoi Nariman Point. The restaurant is owned by Chef Vaneet Bhatia, India’s # 1 Chef. The dinner at Ziya was par excellence. Not only every dish we ordered had a very unique and excellent taste, it was also presented in a way to make a whole gastronomic experience that incorporated visual and taste senses. The staff was excellent in helping select dishes for a unique experience. To top all of this, Chef Gurmeet Singh came to our table to welcome us and made our evening very delightful. We had two appetizers, Papri Chaat and Paneer balls, both of which were excellent. Pappri in the Chaat was presented as papri noodles to give an appearance of a bird’s nest. It is definitely a dish to have as an appetizer. For mains, we ordered saag paneer and Lamb curry, again both of which had such unique presentation and nourished and stimulated our taste buds. Paneer rectangles on saag were wrapped in zucchini slices (never seen that); Lamb on a leaf in a plate was served with Lacha parontha. We also had the Tandoori mushroom naan, which was unique in that it contained mushrooms. To top all this, we ended our meal with two deserts: (i) Carrot cake with mini- Jalebis and coconut containing sauce poured on top; and (ii) halwa with kulfi. Both deserts were excellent. At the end Chef Gurmeet Singh came over to our table and we asked to have a photo with him for which he obliged us. Chef Gurmeet Singh and all his staff that served us made our last night dinner experience one to remember and we still talk about it to our friends and relatives. I would highly recommend both the Ziya Restaurant for an exceptional gastronomic experience and stay at the Trident or the Oberoi, both of which are located side by side at Nariman Point. I wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe Next time.

Considering it's a luxury dining place, I liked the food just enough but the purdah biryani disappointed me. I am a biryani fanatic and everytime I am in india, I make sure I have biryani almost everyday. However, the aloo chaat, the charcoal prawn and the amritsari fish were quite good. The charcoal prawns definitely blew my mind. The service is top notch, as was expected, the view and ambience were amazing too

Fabulous food, presentation and service. Mr shubham was extremely polite and attentive. We were confused abt the dessert and he very sweetly got an extra one from hus behalf! Even if u miss the mains its fine.. but defi try most of the appetisers!

For many years I had this wish to visit Oberoi as I had heard a lot about their gr8 Hospitality . This time during my Mumbai visit , I suddenly planned a visit to the Hotel & thought of having my dinner out there . It was a magical experience as the hotel itself is out of the world . The hospitality , food presentation was just brilliant . I had my food in Ziya . After visiting now I have decided that my business will be taken to such a level that I can book my rooms over here . Thanks for the wonderful memory which you people gave me . It's a nice place to bring your better half & surprise her which I will do some day, Trust me it will be a beautiful memory for her . Will come back soon ♥️🌈✅️😃

Good food and Great place for a big group fancy dinning. The easy RSVP was just a call away. Their manager Nigel was super helpful. My only personal regret was we did the a part carte instead of the 5 course set menu, which would have been their specialty. Will be back again!

Prix fixe and a la carte menus in the Oberoi Hotel with great bay views. We did the course menu with wine pairing, which came to approximately $200 American. With each course there were vegetarian options, and all of the wines were from Indian vineyards.

Ziya is a fabulous restaurant. Food was just wow. View from the restaurant is Queens Necklace (Marine Drive). Ambiance is something that is very attractive. It’s one of the best restaurants that I have visited till date. Staffs are very attentive and they got us food according to our preference. It’s a must visit in South Bombay. I will see you soon Ziya.

5 stars for location! Splendid view of Marine Drive. To fully enjoy it, go during the day. Making the reservation could help you to get seated next to window:) The starters tandoori aloo and thepla tacos were one of best appetisers, I have ever had. The papads were also distinct and delish. In the main course, we had chilli garlic naan, zeera rice with the in-house speciality maharani dal a.k.a. dal makhni. Dal makhni was too salty, but maybe it was just that evening. Get it changed if you notice the same, I was too hungry to request the staff to change it. I regret it now 😫 The staff is friendly accommodative and they also explain you the dishes. I think I'm coming here again next time I'm in Mumbai. Highly recommended. I think my post already talks about the must haves. All thier dishes have 👩‍🍳 kiss :) if you wish to gift yourself or someone a fancy night out, this is a place to be :) Enjoyyyyyy!°°

Awesome experience dining at Ziya. After a week of having Indian food at a family wedding I thought another Indian restaurant would not work for me but it was an excellent and differentiated/unique experience.

Fantastic atmosphere, good food and quality time spent with family and friends.

Enjoyed the experience but was a bit underwhelmed by the flavour of the food. The hotel and restaurant are both magnificent and the service was great. Was suggested we order 3 dishes per person and share but could have done with a couple less. Overall enjoyable but could have been better value for money

Amazing food and drinks. Service is a bit slow when there is a increase in crowd.

The food was very delicious every bite was bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. The whole presentation was beautiful and professional. The employees are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience.

The food I had was a true delight for my taste buds. The flavors were well-balanced and the textures were perfectly executed. Each bite was a harmonious blend of various ingredients that complemented each other in the most delicious way possible. I could taste the freshness of the ingredients and it was obvious that the chef had put a lot of thought and care into creating this dish. The presentation of the food was also impressive, with a beautiful arrangement that made it even more appealing. The portion size was just right, leaving me feeling satisfied but not overly full. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who made my dining experience truly enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend this food to anyone who is looking for a truly exceptional culinary experience. The quality and attention to detail are truly impressive and I can't wait to go back and try more dishes.

Loved the vegetarian set menu! Great flavours, beautiful restaurant, lovely staff.

A very good place with the best view of mumbai Tho food and place r really good but it's expensive ,specially the starters r damn expensive Overall a good place to go with family for lunch or dinner if u love to have food with a view

We went to Ziya for Family Diwali Dinner yesterday , and it was the best choice . The staff was very much caring specially Surender who took all care and we went with options advised by him and Ziya lives up to its expectations . The food was very much presented well , the taste was awesome and the whole experience was a memorable one . No wonder the menus set by Michelin star Chef Vineet Bhatia and it truly showed the class of it in looks and taste . Will surely visit again !!!
