Eating at 55 East at Grand Hyatt is a different and enjoyable experience.
You need to take a flight of steps down to reach the restaurant or take the elevator down from the lobby bar.
Restaurant invariably has most of the international cuisines available. However, Italian and Chinese cuisines have probably been purposely left out so as to promote eating at the Italian and Chinese Restaurants of the hotel.
The seating at 55 East is relaxed and is good for a leisurely lunch as well as a formal business lunch, especially with foreigners. There are live open food counters with chefs showing their culinary skills on one side of the restaurant, and a dessert counter on the other side. Due to this set up, the no. of seats in the restaurant is rather limited I would say. Again as a vegetarian, have found a lot of interesting international items there and have loved to try them. Have particularly enjoyed veg Sushi and Hummus with warm pita bread at the first counter. Good to be able to get vegetarian sushi. The Thai food especially the Thai curry, is excellent as well. There are some interesting Continental dishes and grills on the far end. There is a bit of Indian food as well. The interesting names of the dishes are displayed at the counters and the good part is that the food is freshly made in front of you as you wait. The dessert bar is by far my favorite and has a large variety, including some Indian sweets. Quite liked an interesting dessert, the topping of which was burnt with a flame in front of me…. can’t remember the name though. The single serve portion dishes are delivered to your table if you like rather than stand and wait for the same.
The portions on these dishes I am sure have kept small.
The price is a bit steep, but worth the experience. Good place if you wish have to while away some time and would like to try different international cuisines.
Thankyou:)
It was great to see the hospitality of Jhupa Singh and team at grand Hyatt Mumbai. Very fresh and welcoming. The Malaysian food was yum with a lot of varieties, properly cooked with a great aroma. Vishal is famous for his salads if you are conscious on the calories round the corner. Since I constantly travel to a lot of hotels, one thing I noticed about grand Hyatt is that there food prepared is really fresh which honestly, is not at all at a lot of places these days...and of course, satisfying the taste buds to the core. I recommend their sushi too. Thanks
Went there for breakfast during my stay Mumbai. First encounter to find all food prepared live in front of you. Awesome service. Variety of tea and coffee available. Endless options of food and dessert to fill your tummy. Consider it as a brunch.
