Delight your senses ….
Fragrant spices, tastes that come as a surprise to your tastebuds, intriguing flavour combinations and recipes that have been loved for centuries.
This is what you’ll find at Bombay Brasserie, Taj Cape Town’s fine dining Indian restaurant that has been designed not only as a go-to for people in love with food and flavour, but with an eye to creating a sumptuous experience. It all starts with Taj Cape Town’s signature opulent décor, inspired by the rich hues and jewel tones of India, from where the hotel draws its heritage.
Bombay Brasserie is a shining star on Cape Town’s thrilling restaurant scene, and an absolute must for guests staying at Taj Cape Town.
Step inside, and you’ll feel as though you have entered a different realm or opened the lid of a jewel box and watched as its contents spill over. This effect is created through stunning detail, like Bombay Brasserie’s magnificent peacock inspired wallpaper, creating an ambience fit for royalty.
There’s nothing shy about the dishes you’ll find on the menu, either. Executive Chef Surendra Kumar has painstakingly curated a feast, reflecting India’s kaleidoscope of influences and flavours. Expect bold, punchy tastes that are typical of the entire subcontinent, from Tava dishes to Parsi favourites, from Goan seafood, laced with coconut, to Keralan classics, and a dash of street food staples, too. Chef Surendra has also paid homage to India’s traditional dishes, like butter chicken and biryani.
Since Chef Surendra is a real veteran of the hospitality industry, you know that you’re in good hands. He’s accumulated more than two decades in kitchens around the world – including working as Executive Sous Chef at the flagship Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai. This is a man who is accustomed to overseeing the production of meals for 2 500 guests every day, making him the perfect pilot to steer your culinary journey.
Chef Surendra’s experience also means that he knows exactly what people are looking for when dining out, so you can expect dishes that are as nourishing and wholesome as they are vibrant, delicious and beautiful to look at. There’s also plenty for vegans and vegetarians to choose from, all served with Chef Surendra’s trademark emphasis on simplicity and tastefulness.
The best part? The kind of service you’d expect in these palace-like surrounds – warm, welcoming and full of charm, staying true to Chef Surendra’s interpretation of the Sanskrit philosophy ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ – treating guests like gods.
