« Reviews on Pearl of the Orient

Spin right past this place
The revolving restaurant idea is cool (not like the CN tower cool or anything) and gives good views of downtown Mumbai. Its really the only reason for coming here.
Service is slow and then overly fussy ( silver service does not equal good service), drinks and menus took an age to come. Menus are long and too complicated with Japanese, thai and various varieties of Chinese cuisine. Unless you know your way around the sorts of food on offer it would be difficult to put a good menu together. Not that in the end that it would really matter. It was difficult to distinguish between the bland dishes apart from the colour and the degree of spice. There was no subtlty of flavour, no textures to challenge your tastebuds, no attempt at authenticity or creativity. even the fried rice lacked oomph.
Needless to say we passed on desert.
