“At Umame, while we have retained some classics and old favourites, the menu is greatly enhanced with the addition of Pan Asian delicacies created after extensive research and tastings”, says Farrokh.
The menu at “Umame” presents the best of Pan Asia, culled from Farrokh’s signature menus, world travels and his favourites too. From a vast variety of Dim sums with unusual fillings, high quality Sushi & Sashimi, Vietnamese delicacies, Singaporean street food and Cantonese specialties, created by Farrokh and a team of chefs trained in Singapore.
“Umame” which means the fifth taste, has a decor that beautifully complements the subtle flavours of the food.
In a city with a serious dearth of fine dining spaces that celebrate life with fine food & wine, “Umame” is yet another welcome offering by Farrokh Khambata. “Umame” is a space that beautifully reflects the ethos of its location. Its lavish, rarified design makes “Umame” one of the most elegant, quietly stylish restaurants in the city today.
