Yuhi — Restaurant in Mumbai

The evening began with a frustrating search for the restaurant. Despite our best efforts, the restaurant remained an elusive and hidden gem, with no visible signage or clear directions. Our journey relied entirely on the helpful guidance of security guards and random building workers. We were skeptical, but our persistence was rewarded when we finally discovered the place, a truly beautiful and sprawling open-air space. The setting was serene and promising, and we made a conscious decision to seat ourselves in a secluded spot, far from the booming speakers and the live singing stage, hoping for an intimate & pleasant conversation over our meal. However, a more ominous sign should have been the near-empty dining space on a long holiday. On a bustling weekend night, the vast space was not even one-third full, casting an unsettling quiet over the otherwise magnificent ambiance. This eerie calm was momentarily broken by the performance of the incredibly talented live singer, whose melodious voice filled the air in a truly beautiful way. Their physical menus have changed as well or not up to date at the least. The food, for the most part, was a delightful surprise. The crispy lotus 🪷 stem with a delicate kafir lime sauce was a starter —delectably crispy and vibrantly flavored. The chicken 🍗 maratha kebab was a succulent masterpiece, crafted from perfectly tender chicken breast and generously stuffed with a savory filling, served with a zesty green chutney and a fresh, crisp salad. The "Lost in China" 🍹 mocktail was a beautifully pink balanced concoction, intricately sweet, while the spicy mushroom dim sum🥟 was a small plate of exquisite flavor. The veg pot rice🍛 with their signature spicy sauce was also quite good, a comforting and well-executed dish, though we were disappointed to find it was not served in a pot as portrayed in some review pictures. Despite the deliciousness, the quantity of both the food and the beverages was noticeably scant. The true and irreversible downfall of the evening, however, was a "deafening" and infuriating assault on our senses. Despite our deliberate choice of a distant table, the music from the speakers was so overpoweringly loud that it made any form of conversation impossible. We made a staggering seven distinct attempts to communicate our distress to the staff, but even they struggled to hear our frustrated complaints. In our part of the restaurant, where guests were few and far between, we all struggled to be heard over the god-awful, ear-splitting music that began blasting after the singer’s set. Finally, in a state of utter frustration, we decided to abandon our meal and our hopes of dessert. We were met by a manager who, with an air of complete indifference, declared, "this is the standard volume so we can't do anything about it." The statement felt absurd, as if they were powerless to adjust with a simple remote control. This was not a pulsating nightclub, but a half-empty restaurant on a weekend night, and there was absolutely no justifiable reason for such a sonic assault. In conclusion, while the restaurant boasts a beautiful, captivating setting and quite a few genuinely delicious dishes, the experience was utterly ruined by its sheer inattentiveness to customer comfort. We will not be returning to this place unless there is a significant and immediate improvement in their management of sound and their overall...

Yuhi lounge is considered to be an exclusive restaurant.... but can it really fall in the exclusive category..... NAHHHH... I went there twice and this is my observation

1. FOOD - lower then below average We asked for a simple vegetable stir fry and they didn't have it, I mean every restaurant keep atleast one item to cater to all kind of customers.... think of people who are on diet, this is one of our staples when it comes to restaurant food. ● Thai basil fish tikka was dry as hell and served with Desi green chutney (is it even a combination). ● Fish croquettes were oily and batter was extremely thick. ● Nawabi mutton seekh was extremely spicy can be compared to a road side thela. ● Crispy water chestnut and broccoli was again very hard to chew and extremely thick batter, I literally had to search for broccoli inside that batter. ● Tandoori soya chaap was dry and tasteless.
2. CAR PARKING - I would say if you have driver with car, then don't go there. According to Yuhi lounge manager, it's a policy of #SupremeBusinessPark you have to handover your car key to vallet and they park your car and keep the keys with them. The driver is not allowedat parking lot so he will have to leave the premises. Ok it's not a problem if I am driving my car.... but for God's sake I have a kept a driver for this job. You don't want to take responsibility of anything happening to my car then how do you expect me to handover my car key to you? When I spoke to them why they want to keep my car key, they mentioned incase of emergency they will be able to remove car immediately. In that building atleast 300 - 400 car were parked, so you mean you have atleast 200 vallet boys to remove the cars in case of emergency..... don't you think if the driver is present there it would be an easier task to remove their own car.... What kind of policy is this???? At any exclusive restaurant or lounge or hotel if we go taking our car which our driver is driving, then he only park the car and stays in car at the allotted parking space. Thus policy sounds...

Review of Yuhi Resto at Hiranandani Powai:

My recent visit to Yuhi in April 2024 left much to be desired. Initially, we were disappointed to find out that Breeze Rooftop was closed and replaced by Yuhi. Our experience from the outset was underwhelming. The entrance staff claimed there was no space near the edge of the rooftop, and we were left waiting for 15-20 minutes without anyone attending to us properly. The management seemed disorganized, with one manager redirecting us to another. Once seated, the ambiance was far from satisfactory. Dim lighting made it difficult to read the menu, forcing us to resort to using our mobile torches. This inconvenience set the tone for the evening. To add to the frustration, several items we wished to order, such as Channa Garlic Fry and various egg-based starters, were unavailable. We ended up settling for alternatives, only to be further disappointed by the quality of the dishes. For instance, our Margherita Pizza turned out to be Masala Pappad – a humorous but ultimately unsatisfying substitution. Furthermore, the inclusion of service charges seemed unjustified given the lackluster service we received. Merely transporting items from the kitchen to our table hardly warranted such fees, especially when we had to serve ourselves in our plates. The seating arrangements were uncomfortable, and the management should prioritize improving both seating and ambiance. Additionally, there was a noticeable lack of proper air circulation, further detracting from the overall experience.

In conclusion, my experience at Yuhi Resto was marred by poor service, unavailable menu items, and subpar ambiance. Unless significant improvements are made, I cannot recommend it to others seeking a pleasant dining experience in...
