Wagamama is treating Mumbai to Japanese and Korean food in a well-lit ambiance

The English meaning of the term Wagamama (Japanese word) can be a little misleading if taken literally. It means "as I please".

However, most often, it is used to express 'self-indulgence', and the new restaurant at Churchgate might just make you indulge.

The global chain Wagamama arrived in Mumbai couple of months ago, not with a bang, but with a deliciously soft padfoot. Simple, well-lit place, this place too serves Korean and Japanese food. Ramen being its bestseller in Mumbai as well.

The new Wagamama way of confirming the order is to scribble the dish number from menu on your paper tablemat. Sinoul Khan, their floor manager, quickly scribbles a few numbers on my tablemat after recommending a few dishes. Thankfully, Wagamama has a 'no nut' policy. So, my allergens are taken care of.

One notable thing about this outlet is that they have a good choice for vegetarians. Guess that's their offering to India. Also, they do not serve pork or buff.
