The Nutcracker — Restaurant in Mumbai

Located at the amazing Jio World Drive Mall, BKC, Nutcracker is a delightful spot that truly lives up to its name—full of surprises and flavor in every bite.

The ambience at Nutcracker is thoughtfully designed, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that suits both casual diners and those looking for a more intimate meal. With a mix of seating options—from standard height chairs to elevated bar stools—the layout caters to different comfort preferences. The use of varied furniture, ambient lighting, and tastefully selected décor materials all come together to create a visually appealing and cozy dining space. Seating at the bar adds another layer of charm, perfect for those who enjoy a more dynamic dining experience.

One of the highlights of Nutcracker is its staff. Friendly, attentive, and well-informed, they enhance the overall experience. They’re more than happy to walk you through the menu and suggest dishes based on your preferences, which is always a big plus.

Speaking of food—the dishes here are delicious and satisfying. On a staff recommendation, I tried the Kimchi Broth, Smoked Tofu & Sticky Rice Veg Bowl. It was perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and featured a variety of fresh vegetables. The flavors were well-balanced and comforting, making it a must-try.

Overall, Nutcracker offers a wonderful combination of ambience, service, and flavorful food. I’m definitely looking forward to returning and exploring more of their menu. It’s a place that feels both familiar and exciting—highly recommended for anyone visiting Jio...

This place actually deserves 5 stars - everything we had was delicious tending to scrumptious. Highly recommended the mushrooms on toast which we were supposed to start with. Here is where it went wrong. They took a detailed order - starter and mains. Then to begin with they got the mushrooms ravioli. I had to send it back saying it's a main ... Give us starters first. Then we got the nachos and along with that they got the dhansakh. I had to again send it back saying wait for us to finish the starters. We had barely finished the first part of the meal when they plonked all the mains that we were supposed to share on our table. And unfortunately the mushroom ravioli which was truly delicious was like warm... Not hot. That was still ok ... But when I got to the dhansakh which is served piping hot ... That too was just warm. Which is a cardinal sin. That's why they loose 1 star. I have to emphasize that the dhansakh was really nice. Like I would make at home... But their hurry in serving spoilt the effect. The music was nice but a tad too loud. I would request them to take it easy - do it andante instead of presto vivace I would have given this place 5 stars. And I got to know it's owned by a Parsi and a Marwadi. Less of the Marwadi and more of the Parsi in serving size would get them 6 stars. The dhansakh dal was spectacular but the serving was more like chutney than an accompanying dal. S5ill would come here again and again... And you will too...

A true gem of a place! ✨

From the moment we stepped in, the aesthetic ambience and calm vibe made us feel so welcomed. But what really surprised me was the balance of health and taste..which is so rare!

We started with the Green Shakshouka with Eggs. It looked completely green, and I honestly expected it to be a bit bitter. But to my surprise, it was super delicious! Packed with veggies, poached eggs, and sunny-side-ups, it was not only healthy but full of flavour.

Next came the Ramen Bowl — noodles perfectly cooked, in a light soya-based broth with mushrooms, sprouts, veggies, and so much goodness. Another hit!

We ended with a Passion Fruit & Basil Cooler — again green in colour, and my fiancé gave me that “this might taste weird” look 😅 but it turned out to be so refreshing and yum.

They don’t serve carbonated drinks, which I honestly loved — it shows their commitment to healthy, mindful eating. But making healthy food this tasty is a real skill, and they’ve nailed it.

On top of all that, the service was amazing. Polite staff, great energy, and no pressure to rush or vacate. They gave us space and respect, which made the whole experience even better.

Truly, this place won my heart. Highly recommend if you're looking for great taste and good...
