There are times and celebratory occasions when you crave for a particular type of food
so much that you feel fine to splurge a little.
This was one of those times when we missed our awesome Sushi dinners in US and
craved for something exactly the same – not an half-hearted attempt at making the
Japanese delicacy.
So we headed to Megu – the Japanese cuisine restaurant
at Leela Palace, one of Delhi’s most luxurious hotels. The prices were steep
but they were very well matched with service, décor, and the quality of the
food. Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Why we might go again?
When you go to such a place the expectations are obviously
very high. After all, who wants to have only above-average food at Rs 2,500 per
head! Megu, however, was able to beat our expectations in terms of their
complete package – service and food. We started with tempura style prawns and
our favourite – Edamame. The beans were perfectly boiled (hard to go wrong
with them anyway) and the prawns were crispy, creamy, and soft – all at the same
time.
Next came the special sushi rolls and they swept us off our
feet. This matched with the best of Sushi’s we have had at other places outside
India. Kudos.
And to put the cherry on the cake (they actually provided us
a complementary cake!) we ordered an ice cream platter of sorts – green tea and
white/black sesame seeds. Yumma!!
Why we might not go again?
We did find the place a little dull for a Friday evening. But then, that can be expected given the limited popularity of the cuisine in India and steep prices.
Final Word
Go here if you have love your Sushi. Be prepared to shell out a little more than usual, but in our opinion, you will get your money’s worth.
