Shiro (Worli)

Truly majestic

The first thing that strikes one on entering Shiro is the feeling of entering a different civilization, what with the majestic South-East Asian sculptures one encounters throughout the floor. A look at the right side of the menu reinforces the fact that one is in the presence of greatness, and money ought to be the least of one's concerns. Once that bit is settled in the mind, the food here tastes a lot better. The Thai curry here is about the best one can get anywhere in the city, and the Japanese steam rice is the real thing as well. Add to that the stewards who are as cheerful as they make them anywhere, and do not hesitate to throw in a pair of chopsticks as souvenirs when you are about to leave. Unfortunately, it is in sheer detail of food preparation that Shiro would lose out to the other premium South-East Asian restaurant in this part of town, Asia 7. The chicken could surely have been softer, and the noodles a little more endowed with the right spices than the usual fare one gets at Chinese restaurants. Some authentic sauces served at the table might also have made the experience more enjoyable. Overall, however, Shiro can surely be visited for lunch alone, even if the huge bar and the lounge seats do not attract one to an exorbitant night out.
