Mumbai is definitely stepping up their Instagram game now that Harajuku is in town.
Thanks to them we got to taste a good taiyaki ice cream cone. It's a Japanese fish-shaped cake filled with ice cream, custard/red bean & cute toppings.
The flavors we got were Matcha Matter Taiyaki and Classic Sass Strawberry Taiyaki. Their ice creams were amazing and had kicks of flavor. Our personal favorite has to be the Matcha Taiyaki. The fish shaped cones were fresh made and were so soft and chewy. Boy, were they filling!
The pairing of a warm cone, creamy ice cream and soft sprinkles were a big win. Go get yours too.
Can't wait to visit again.
The Good : The owner is so warm and friendly! It’s endearing. This place is a small gem near reclamation. Interiors are simple, almost QSR friendly.
The Better : They’ve An amazing selection of sweet and savoury crepe’s. The Tayaki (their speciality) is definitely a delight to the eye and to the palate.
Definitely recommend.
Exploring the cosy lanes of Bandra is rewarding, Harajuku brings a piece of Japan to Mumbai. Located on Chapel Road, Harajuku occupies a small space that can accommodate not more than 8-10 people at a given point of time.
Ambience (4/5)
The entire space is done up very cutely with colourful doodles and images of the people sporting quirky outfits in Harajuku. Their wall even has a neon signboard that reads “It’s Harajuku baby!” is placed ideally for Instagram.
Food/Drinks (4/5)
They serve a variety of Japanese street food both, sweet and savoury. Their quirky menu consists of sweet and savoury crepes, Doriyaki and the social media superstar Taiyaki.
We got our hands on the most Instagram friendly item on their menu- the Taiyaki (fish-shaped waffles) These waffles are first stuffed with custard/authentic red bean filling and then topped with a giant scoop of ice cream (their best-selling flavours are the Matcha and Black Sesame) and garnished with cake sticks and chocolate sauce. We loved the Black Sesame ice cream because coming across a flavour that is sweet and savoury at the same time is very rare in Mumbai.
Service (4.5/5)
For a grab and go, service here is particularly decent.
Value for money (4.5/5)
Though small, Harajuku is packed with a lot of Japanese magic that is a welcome addition to the city’s dining scene.
Overall rating (5/5)
All in all, Harajuku is a great place to dine at if you are looking for something different, with extremely insta-friendly interiors, and food that will touch your soul.

This place is located in Bandra reclamation small outlet which has wide range of Japanese desserts and savoury options.
A small cafe with funky interiors gives a feeling of Japanese place.
The main USP of this place is Taiyaki, a Japanese type fish shaped waffle with ice cream topped.
This place serves Japanese style street food.
What we had:
🔸️Choco Litt Tayaki
Damn amazing!
Japanese concept wherein the waffle is in fish shaped wherein they have options to make your own and some ready recommendation.
We tried Choco litt Tayaki amazing!! topped with choco chips, Brownie etc.
🔹️BarbequeCrepes
Apart from dessert they also have crepes, Harajuka inspires crepes, Loaded with veggies with barbeque sauce and cheesy sauce.
Harajuku is a Japanese inspired joint. In frame the Choco-Litt Taiyaki. The fish shape waffle cone was crisp and light. The base of the cone was filled with a creamy custard topped with a rich chocolate ice cream and some brownie bits. The combination of each filling is perfectly balanced. You simply cannot afford to miss this dessert!
Harajuku, is a really amazing place in Bandra on Chapel road with wonderful Japanese inspired interiors, colourful ambience, lights that make a perfect place to hangout along with family and friends. Its the first one in Mumbai which serves food with Japanese twist. We ordered Taiyaki (Chocolate one) and Chicken salami crêpes. One must definitely visit this place.
Acclaimed to be Japanese street food, the restaurant fits in with a colourful vintage vibe, just like the neighbourhood of Harajuku. The food while seemingly unauthentic contains traces of Japanese elements that enrich the Japanese experience. The food is delectable. The chunky chicken crêpe filled with jalapeño and chipotle was beautiful; it tasted too good to be true. The season's star Taiyaki is a delicacy embellished in a fish-shaped waffle. How cool! Lastly, an apple elderflower beverage soothed our senses in a way that completed the meal. It's well worth the experience even if you aren't taken aback by Japanese culture. The food is exquisite.
Townie Brownie is a definite must eat at this place. Harajuku really does give the sweet crepes an all new definition for me. I've already gone there like 6 times and it's quickly become my go to place for eating desserts. A must try for fans of the Japanese culture like myself. It's a good wallet friendly option to hog a lot and get the experience of a somewhat new cuisine
One of the great places for deserts ! Loved their hospitality and the taste. Taaiyaki fish was perfectly cooked and tasted so good with fresh fruity and tangy Ice Cream along with brownie bar.
Loved the place.
Would recommend 👍🏻

Finally it was time for us to review this famous outlet to try out their exclusive variety of desserts and savoury options . Located at Bandra reclamation , harajuku is a small outlet serving Japanese desserts . The speciality is their famous taiyaki ( Japanese style fish shaped waffle ) . To know more read through to decide on your options here -
1. Meat bonanza savoury crepe - Loaded with chicken chunks, chicken salami, sausages chipotle sauce and mixed veggies. Apart from the delicious dessert menu that harajuku hosts , this crepe just keeps your flavours intact . Hence if you're thinking to try out something different opt for this meat loaded savoury crepe .
2. Chocolate avocado shake - Chocolate milkshake with an avocado twist is something you relish. This shake gives you a bittersweet taste and at the same time will make you savour it untill the last drop. We chose to opt for a sweet healthy option and turned out to be a delicious affair.
3. Taiyaki - Taiyaki is a Japanese concept where the waffle is baked in a fish shape. So with the available options we chose to make our own taiyaki. We opted for custard as the base along with butterscotch ice cream, Nutella, chocolate chips , brownie and a chocolate stick. The waffle was soft and the balance of the ingredients were correct to give the ice cream the correct amount of sweetness . If you have to chose amongst the options do make sure you're not opting for too many ingredients as it may make your waffle very sweet .
Matcha is one of their core flavours to try
So if you've some space in your stomach left to experiment with great dessert options, Harajuku is the place where you should head out.
We had the chicken sausage crepe which was super delicious and I'd highly recommend it. The combination of tangy sauces with mozzarella and chicken really works. I can't wait to try the other savoury crepes. We also had the classic sass taiyaki which I thought was good, albeit indulgent. I particularly liked the custard filling and will definitely go back to try the more authentic red bean one. The apple elderberry fizz was also really good and tasted oddly familiar in a way that we couldn't place. All in all, I really liked Harajuku. It's a nice place to visit for a quick bite, when the one in Tokyo is out of reach!
“It’s Harajuku baby” 💁♂🔥❤
Just as the name suggests, the aesthetics of this joint are bright and electrifying! We've tried their -
Nutella Stuffed Dorayaki (stuffed double layered pancake), Japanese Affair Taiyaki - fish shaped pockets stuffed with black sesame ice cream (definitely an acquired taste) and Chocolate Avocado Shake (not highly recommended). I still loved the Jar they give along the shakes though. Also, the size of the pancake/Dorayaki was bigger compared to what we have eaten earlier, that was the best part.
If you’re around Bandra, do visit the place to satisfy your sweet tooth.

A dessert place with very different types of items. Stuffed pancakes, fish shaped waffles are few of them. The ambience and interiors are very tumblr.
Harajuku is a hidden gem located in Bandra for all the dessert lovers. This place serves varieties of dishes inspired from the Japanese Street Style Food Culture. A small quaint cafe with limited seating arrangement and funky interiors is just perfect if you wish to grab a bite.
What we tried?
✅MeatBonanza- This is part of their Savoury Crepe menu and is highly recommended for all the meat lovers. The crepe contains eggs and is filled with loads of tangy sauces and meat.
✅ChocolateAvocadoShake- Thick creamy and more importantly a healthy milk shake. It tastes excellent, you definitely need to give this one a try.
✅StuffedNutellaPancakes- Also, know as Dorayaki these pancakes are freshly made and stuffed with luscious Nutella, also they drizzle Nutella and colourful sprinkles on the top. Solely recommend this one.
✅TownieBrownie- Sweet Crepe filled with dark chocolate sauce, brownies and Icecream. Turned out to be such a delectable combination.
✅JapaneseAffair- This is a part of their Taiyaki menu which is basically a fish-shaped waffles stuffed with custard and cream with a topping of a huge scoop of delicious Sesame Icecream. You cannot afford to miss out on this one here.

This place deserves brownies points for its quick service and friendly staff who help you out with great recommendations.
Harajuku, Bandra
Anna and Senna took a break from their regular western influence rooted cafes and visited the Japanese themed Harajuku, a small offbeat Dessert Cafe located in Bandra west. From photographs of women in kimono to sidewalk decorated with bamboo and japanese style interiors with striking colors and impressive writings, this place surely wins the theme exemplarily.
With anna only being concerned about the dorayaki bean jam bun (doracakes and the nostalgic fond memories of doraemon), senna chose taiyaki, an icecream topped on a fish shaped waffle, filled with red bean paste, embellished with chocolate stick, apples and brownie with chocolate sauce.
Chose Blueberry Cream cheese stuffed Dorayaki and Season's Star Taiyaki.
Well presented mus say! Marvellous in appearance. Anna was specifically interested in the red bean paste as it is purely a Japanese thang!
Dorayaki pancakes were authentic, yet the blueberry topping and the stuffing within the pancakes were very sour, probably marking an original Japanese taste, yet not very enjoyable to an Indian tongue (thehungerhormone 's opinion). While, the taiyaki was bulky, yet, a treat to our eyes (In the frame). Senna enjoyed her all time favorite Black currant icecream, while anna loved the red bean paste filling inside the fish shaped waffle.
Apart from these, the place serves Sweet and Savoury Crepes, shakes and coolers, and hot drinks.
Harajuku proves to be a unique impeccable contemporary.
Personally, if you're fond of japan, then visit this smallest japanese replica in mumbai.
Grateful to @munchymumbai for the treat❤️
Highly Recommended✴️
This is hands down one of the best places for dessert that I’ve ever visited.
The custard and the matcha icecream was THE best
Also the tayaki base ( fish shaped cone) was literally everything. Felt like we were eating a pancake dipped in custard and icecream. Literally living for this. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
As an icing on the top the interior was really really good.
Must try:
Tayaki
Choco-lit
Harajuku in Bandra is a small joint with a seating for around 10 people. This place has drawn inspiration from the Japanese youth and fashion culture which is quite evident in the vibrant colours of this place - bright pink walls, colourful chairs and golden tiles.
Here's what we tried:
1) Chunky Chicken (5/5)
This crepe was delicious. Right from the sauces, to the texture of the crepe, the filling quantity and chicken pieces, everything blended together.
2) Dark Chocolate Stuffed Dorayaki (3/5)
Dorayaki is a type of Japanese confection, a red-bean pancake which consists of two small pancake-like patties made from Castella. We were expecting it to be better. The texture was chewy and even the dark chocolate added nothing to the dessert.
3) Classic Sass Taiyaki (4/5)
A classic street vendor snack in Japan, Taiyaki is a warm fish-shape cake with red bean filling. This waffle-like Japanese snack is stuffed with custard and you have various options of flavours and additions to customise your dish. We enjoyed this delicacy. It not only looked gorgeous but was also yummy. Must definitely try it.
From sweet to savoury, from the classic to adventurous, Harajuku has it all. We'd definitely recommend this place and would love to visit again.
Excellent is an understatement for the taste of the matcha ice cream and the signature dishes.If only there were more branches of places like these.
Definitely coming back for some more !
Arigato 😁😁
I was suggested by a friend of mine to try the japanese affair taiyaki so i traveled from all the way to nerul to bandra for this. I was so impressed by the presentation and taste of it. i also tried the Nutella stuffed dorayaki and it was so scrumptious.
i highly recommend you to try out this place as soon as possible.
Its one of the best place i have come across recently. I tried the chunky chicken crepe and coffee stuffed dorayaki and it was damn amazing 😍😍😍
i visited this place last weekend and i tried the chocco lit taiyaki and it was visually appealing and tasted like heaven. y'all should definitely try out this dish :) i will be back next weekend for some amazing taiyaki :)
Interesting concept. Tried the matcha Taiyaki, fish shaped waffle stuffed with custard and matcha ice cream. Also the coffee stuffed pancakes are worth a try.
Swimming to the weekend with @harajukuindia
Taiyaki !! These fish shaped waffles are filled with a super light custard and chunks of brownies. An ice cream is topped with some chocolate chips and a drizzle of liquid chocolate. Chunks of brownie and a kit Kat is stuffed on the top.
This unique shaped waffle is the current trend in Bandra and serves an array of other desserts as well.
Harajuku, a hidden gem in the streets of Bandra, serving some of the finest and the local cuisine from our neighbors that's right Japanese street cuisine now at Bandra Reclamation, serving delicious waffles with a varied stuffing, something of the taste which you need to generate these aren't your regular chocolate and strawberry waffles which are found all over these waffles have their unique taste as well as their unique shape, harajuku got its boom by the fish-shaped waffles "taiyaki" these fish-shaped waffles come with a wide range of ice creams and toppings, we tired the two recommended taiyaki's,
1- Classic sass:- red beans (rajma beans paste) stuffing, red velvet cake, vanilla strawberry ice cream topped with hot fudge hot fudge
2- Choco-litt:- custard stuffing, brownie, choco chip ice cream, topped with chocolate chip drizzle.
ps:- the red beans stuffing is not the flavor everyone can like its a taste which you need to acquire, so we recommend to go for the custard filling is you don't want to experiment with your taste and also do try the sesame seed ice cream something you won't find anywhere except harajuku.
thank you @harajuku for serving us with the best and follow thefoodpavilion for your daily dose of appetizing food around Mumbai all rights reserved on photos please take prior permission before reposting.
If you like pancakes but tired of the standard flavours or don't want anything too sweet, go for the traditional doriyaki with adzuki bean paste. The bean filling is quite delicious but not overly sugary at all, it's very subtle. I'm definitely going to try the other varieties here!
Taiyaki for the win! First one in Mumbai and it was about time. The options on the menu look Delish! But just tried two taiyakis -but the make your own type. The waffle was fresh and fluffy, the icecream quality could be better, the custard filling was yum. All in all it was a different kind of dessert and definitely worth tasting.
I checked this place out for a snack on a Sunday evening because I had come across a new japanese street food eatery on LBB. Being a Japan fanatic ofcourse I had to try it out right away. I had the Apple elderflower Fizz, the savoury chicken sausage crepe and the Matcha Mater fish shape waffle. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all three items on the menu were delicious and painstakingly prepared in true japanese fashion unlike many pop ups these day that hand you something you can whip up in your own kitchen. The nice couple that runs the place had good tales to tell about their business and travels. So for the fine food topped with fine conversation I whole hearted rate them five stars. Highly recommended to folks that love japanese/south east asian food or are looking to try out the cuisine and are afraid that it might be too adventurous for their palate....so basically everyone. Cheers!

A different concept inspired from Japanese cuisine .. resembles the “harajuku” neighbourhood in Tokyo, Japan which is renowned for its colourful streets and themed cafe’s... this joint was also well lit which a colourful decor.. we tried the taiyaki ice cream with custard filling ! It was really amazing and different experience and taste ... highly recommended!
Japanese Food Tour!
Amazing food a must try . Can’t miss this place! Located on John Baptist road. A different concept
The Taiyakis are a must try. Also the savoury Crepes are good. The service is really slow!
Harajuku New place alert !!!
.
Harajuku is Japanese street food based restaurant .The ambiance of the place is lit and it gives you a Japanese street vibes. I personally liked their concept and their interior is super cool as well as colourful. The staff and service of the place is on point. The menu is kinda cute and it consists of wide variety of delicious crepes, Dorayaki, taiyaki, shakes and juices.
The delicacies we tried :
1️⃣ Cheesecake Crumble (5/5):
This one is a sweet crepe with some fresh cream and a spread of blueberry sauce which is very tangy also topped with some ice cream and super delicious cheese cake.This one is extremely delicious and a must try if you like some sweet crepes.
2️⃣ Porcini Ramen (5/5):
This one is the porcini ramen crepe which contains spaghetti, mushroom,Italian sauces,Parmesan cheese and a lot of time to be prepared which is worth a wait.It has some superb flavors and it taste really good
3️⃣Classic Sass Taiyaki (4/5):
This one is fish shaped waffle which is the street food of Japan .The one we tried had a red bean filling with some red velvet cake and strawberry ice cream at the top of it with some hot fudge over it.I would recommend this over the seasons star. Also great presentation
4️⃣Season’s Star Taiyaki (3/5):
A wrong option. We ended up choosing this which was a wrong idea. The mango Ice cream and custard filling just didn’t go together well . I wish I would’ve ordered the black sesame seed ice cream. The mango Ice cream itself was very average so I’d say avoid this one.
5️⃣ Nutella stuffed Doriyaki (5/5):
The doriyaki are the pancakes served with some stuffed nutella and some fresh cream topped. The pancakes tasted heavenly and very soft also fluffy.
6️⃣Apple Elder flower Fizz (5/5):
This one was very good option to end up the whole meal. It had perfectly blended taste of apple. The drink was a well prepared with a proper proportion of things required.
Overall I really liked their concept and the only part where they can improve is their service. It’s a little slow . Special thanks to Akram, Sattar and Ganesh for their recommendations and service.

Wanted to try this uber cool place since long and I happened to visit it recently. They specialise in serving authentic Japanese Cuisine and the name comes from a street in Tokyo. The interiors are super cute and colourful. Here’s what I tried:
1) Cheesecake Crumble (5/5)- Sweet crepe, extremely tasty and even though the blueberry sauce is tangy, the flavours are well balanced by the Icecream and cheesecake slices. Must try if you have a sweet tooth
2) Porcini Ramen (5/5)- One of the best savoury crepe’s I’ve ever had. It was too delicious and totally worth the wait. Do try this if you have time to wait. Superb flavours especially of the white sauce and porcini mushrooms which went very well together. Highly recommended
3) Classic Sass Taiyaki (4/5)- Liked this one a lot, flavours were good especially the red bean filling was great. I would recommend this over the seasons star. Also great presentation
4) Season’s Star Taiyaki (3/5)- Only disappointing dish. The mango Icecream and custard filling just didn’t satisfy my tastebuds. I wish I would’ve ordered the black sesame seed ice cream. The mango Icecream itself was very average so I’d say avoid this one.
5) Nutella stuffed Doriyaki (5/5)- Extremely cute and fluffy pancakes stuffed with Nutella. Tasted heavenly and I’d recommend them to serve it with vanilla Icecream to make it more enjoyable. Must try
6) Apple Elderflower Fizz (5/5)- Second best order of the day! LOVED THIS ONE. Superb flavours and it was quite the perfect end to our meal here. Absolute must try
Overall I really liked their concept and the only part where they can improve is their service. It’s a little slow but kudos to their efforts. Special thanks to Akram, Sattar and Ganesh for their recommendations and service.

This place serves one of the best pancakes! They were so fluffy! Me and my sister loved it. Do try the coffee pancake! The ambience and service is also very nice
This place is so good! The best thing I loved was the service. Even the owner was really sweet. A cute little dessert place. I really liked the fish waffle concept. The custard with the ice cream is just amazing.
So this place is awesome but when we asked the man how much portion of pancakes we will get in one plate he tld us 4 but he gave us 2 n it was like a usual pancake which u can get it anywhere at a reasonable price it was a bit pricey
A friend suggested me this place. Cute little place. I thought it would be like every other ice cream parlour. But their matcha Ice Cream is so good and also I loved their cute fish waffle cone. So cute!
This place is amazing! In love with their cute interiors! If you love anime or Japanese culture. You should try this place at least once. Service was on point. After a long time got such a good service.
Bandra’s always buzzing with these new eateries and we are not complaining!

The waffle is cute & awesome it have a fish shape they have a lots of fllings
The pancake is medium size & stuffy
" it's really amazing ;
Visited this cute little place yesterday with a friend cause I’d been eyeing these ice creams online for a while and was more than delighted to know that they were now available in Bombay .
We tried two of the Taiyakis: Japanese Affair and Classic Sass. Both were amazing . I liked Japanese Affair a bit too much tho. The red bean filling toward the end of the cone is just bonkers. They taste better than they look so you can imagine how delicious they were. Totally visiting again.
This place is serves Japanese street food. People generally misunderstand the Japanese cuisine with Japanese food. This place has some amazing Japanese street food.
They have dorayaki which are like pancakes and they taste Amazing.
They also have savory crepes and sweet as well
This place gives you vibrant vibes as if you are in Japan itself.
Not exactly for vegetarians or vegans as most of the things have eggs in them except the dorayaki I guess but most of them have eggs so it's difficult for a vegetarian person.
Overall an amazing place
Everyone should definitely try the wish waffle that is Taiyaki... it’s tastes amazing and is made for the very first time in India.... The savoury crepes are delicious and soft which is exactly how it’s suppose to be .... another dish I tried are the coffee pancakes... absolutely love the flavour
Harajuku 🐱
*New place alert*
Harajuku is a Japanese theme outlet in bandra which will soon be a new hot trend. This outlet is located in Diamond arch building (bandra reclamation) and it take about 10 minutes to get here from bandra station and it's quite easy to locate. The ambiance of the place is lit af and it gives you a Japanese street vibes. I personally liked their concept. The staff and service of the place is on point. The menu is kinda cute and it consists of wide variety of delicious crepes, Dorayaki, taiyaki, shakes and hot drink
Tried and recommended
Berry pudding shake
Matcha ginger ale
Chicken salami savory crepe
Chicken kebab savory crepe
Kiwilander sweet crepe
Coffee doryaki
Japanese affair taiyaki
Overall I had a perfect experience here and I highly recommend you to try out this place.
Taste: 5/5
Ambiance: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Harajuku is a district in Tokyo, which is super known for its extreme teenage cultures and fashion styles and so modernized and perfectionated is their cuisine too.
This clearly states that this place offers an authentic Japanese cuisine in the most modernized and delectable way.
I happened to see a Japanese couple with the cutest baby visit this place and compliment on the food quality, Who can judge a cuisine better than the natives.
The service was up to the point. Well organized, polite, clean and the skills to provide hot plate dishes to all the order, from the crepes to the waffle like Taiyaki
I was in love with all the dishes that I had the chance to try out, but I would particularly recommend the savory crepes because it scored 15/10 points.
Apart from the being palatable, it was the how healthy the food felt on consumption of every bite I took. The feel of not adding any artificial ingredients was great.
What I tried???
Miso Pesto salami savory crepes: This is the big loot for all the salami lovers and its combination with Miso Pesto sauce was mind-blowing. The best part of this place is the on the spot making of the best crepes I have ever tried.
Kabab savory crepes: Again I already mention the savory crepes are the best...And kabab crepes is one of the reasons to make it best. The soft portion of kabab takes u off your feet.
Coffee stuffed dorayaki: This tasted much like tiramisu...and with a scope of vanilla with medium-sized pancakes. No complaints but not very great too.
Japanese affair Taiyaki: This was my first attempt of trying such a unique dessert. From the waffle like teriyaki to the custard filling and the blue current scope(not so sure abt the flavor) all were just amazing for my first experience.
Berry Pudding shake: Yumm..yumm is the only thing I can think of. The scope of blueberry ice cream and the feel of berry seeds in a thick shake...was all that I wanted.
Chocolate avocado shake: This had a plain avocado taste....avocado guys what one can expect. But healthy AF... I would have been the healthiest person alive if only this was in my breakfast routine.
It's not the ingredients but the proportion of the ingredients that makes a dish for what it is. Harajuku is best at its Job.
Sincerely recommend this place, though the cost is a little pricey...but the taste of it takes you to the heaven(Japan) on Earth.
My friend took me there. Amazing little place. And then yes I had to post a review on Zomato. It's a place where you should really sit and eat some tasty icy treats and enjoy. Lutf uthao. 😁
I am a big dessert lover.
Just loved it.
Perfect place for dessert lover who want a change from the regular Bandra place !!!
Beautiful ambience, great service, and obviously good food.

Must Try:
Taiyaki - Fish Shaped Waffle (It’s crazy AF)

The saying "Good things comes in small packages" hold absolutely true here.
Great concept . Amazing interiors. And ofcourse great food .
Must try thier taiyaki ( fish shaped waffle) both in savoury as well as in desert and at reasonable prices.
Loved the food! I m big fan of Japanese culture and always wanted to try out Japanese food. These guys nailed it! Their menu is 100% Japanese. I loved their Taiyaki (fish shaped waffle filled with ice cream and custard) It was amazing! 😍 Do try their coffee pancakes too. ❤️
You should also try their savoury crepes. 🤤

Ambience :11/10
Food : 10/10
The interior of the space is brilliantly designed and perfectly executed by my dear friend Tejasee Prabhu. I'm so proud of the way you've grown working in this stream and happy practising what you preach. The food meets lot more than expected, loved the taiyaki fish waffle in particular and ambience is awesome too🤩
Undoubtedly the best Crepes in town , closest to what an actual crepe tastes like in japan . First time ever i tried a Tayaki in India and i loved it. Best thing is the batter they use , its neatly done and not dusty like most of the other places . Its one of those places where u can visit them over and over again . Best Matcha Ice cream and the Berry Pudding shake is super LIT. .
Harajuku is a small joint that specializes in selling some Japanese Street food such as Crepes, Dorayaki and Taiyaki. Desert lovers must try out their range of Taiyaki (fish shaped waffle). The Choco -Litt Taiyaki was delicious. Also their Savoury Crepe - Meat Bonanza has some some generous fillings and was very yummy.Overall would love to visit this place again !!
Fun place. Small but quirky. They have decent menu options. If you're a Pure Vegetarian avoid as their base - crepes, waffles, etc include egg. Flavour wise, very interesting and different from what one is used to. Definitely a must-visit atleast once!
Taiyaki is a Japanese fish-shaped cake. It imitates the shape of the tai, which it is named after. The most common filling is red bean, custard.

In Japan, Harajuku is renowned for its colorful street art and fashion scene, with quirky vintage clothing stores along Takeshita Street. Small bars and trendy cafes fill the surrounding lanes.
A great attempt to bring those traditional Japanese colors in a 200 carpet area shop around Bandra reclamation. Be surprised with the interiors.
Great service, great quantity, value for money and a unique taste something one will not experience with any brand serving rolls and crepes.

📌 Signature Fish shaooed Waffles called TAIYAKI with a base of Custard, Cake, Ice Cream, Strawberry drizzle, Matcha and Chocolate.

Rated - 4/5

Mumbai is definitely stepping up their Instagram game now that Harajuku is in town.
Thanks to them we got to taste a good taiyaki ice cream cone. It's a Japanese fish-shaped cake filled with ice cream, custard/red bean & cute toppings.
The flavors we got were Matcha Matter Taiyaki and Classic Sass Strawberry Taiyaki. Their ice creams were amazing and had kicks of flavor. Our personal favorite has to be the Matcha Taiyaki. The fish shaped cones were fresh made and were so soft and chewy. Boy, were they filling!
The pairing of a warm cone, creamy ice cream and soft sprinkles were a big win. Go get yours too.
Can't wait to visit again.
