The evening unfolded with the delicate aroma of spiced coconut and the subtle sweetness of fresh mango lingering in the air, a prelude to the culinary artistry awaiting us at Ammakase. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the gentle hum of conversation, punctuated by laughter and the clinking of glasses, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that felt both intimate and celebratory. The soft glow of pendant lights cast a romantic ambiance over the elegantly set tables, each adorned with tasteful touches that hinted at the evening’s promise—a journey through the flavors of coastal India. As we approached the host stand, the staff welcomed us with genuine warmth, immediately setting the tone for the evening. Our seats, comfortably arranged along a beautifully crafted wooden bar, allowed us a front-row view into the kitchen, where the chefs expertly crafted each course with a meticulous touch.
This open concept not only enhanced the experience but fostered a connection between the culinary team and diners, as we watched the dance of creativity unfold. Ammakase’s omakase-style dining invites guests to surrender to the chef’s vision, and we were thrilled to embark on this curated experience. Each dish arrived with a flourish—beautifully presented and thoughtfully composed. The standout moment was a luscious saffron-infused risotto, adorned with tender pieces of lobster and adorned with microgreens, embodying a harmony of textures and flavors that encapsulated the ethos of Indian coastal cuisine. The pacing was impeccable; each course felt like a new chapter in a well-told story, allowing us to savor every moment while anticipating the next delightful surprise.
Beverage pairings complemented the meal beautifully, with a selection of aromatic wines and inventive cocktails that echoed the bold, vibrant essence of the dishes. A fragrant gin and tonic infused with cardamom matched the evening’s spirit perfectly, while the attentive service ensured our glasses were never empty. As the evening progressed, the energy of the tables shifted from the excitement of the first courses to a tranquil intimacy, punctuated by soft Indian melodies that enveloped us in a serene embrace. It was a space where time felt suspended, encouraging guests to linger, savor, and connect. Ammakase succeeds not only in crafting a unique culinary experience but also in cultivating an atmosphere that feels genuinely welcoming. Our concierge recommends securing a seat at the chef’s counter for an immersive experience where the artistry of the kitchen unfolds before your eyes, enhancing the magic of this exquisite dining journey.

Our experience was profoundly elevated by Jenzen Chow. His passion is contagious, and he provided intricate explanations of every course, detailing both the culinary technique and the heritage.
Even more impressive was his extensive knowledge on the sake pairing. Jenzen expertly guided us through the selection, explaining the subtle notes and why each sake harmonized perfectly with the complex Indian spices—it was a spectacular accompaniment!
The Perfect Touch: Walking away with a personalized photo and notes made it the ideal, thoughtful souvenir.
Verdict: Go for the food, stay for the sake/wine pairing and Jenzen's depth of knowledge!
Enjoyed every delicacy- presentation, flavour, story 👌
They gave an additional complimentary dessert for the celebration.
Loved the additional extra touch of service ( customised menu and picture card as souvenir) and interaction with the restaurant folks.
Enjoyable experience!
The chef and sous chef explain the story behind each course — from the Indian state that inspired it to the ingredients used — which adds so much meaning to the meal. There’s no fixed menu, true to the Omakase concept, but every dish was executed with creativity and finesse. We enjoyed everything and left feeling satisfied yet light, thanks to how clean and healthy the dishes were.
A few courses even had fun surprise elements that made us go “wow” with the first bite. We opted for the whisky pairing, and the sommelier matched three Japanese whiskies perfectly with the progression of dishes.
The evening ended with a lovely personal touch: customised cards with our family photo and a personalised menu — such a sweet gesture.
Overall, an excellent dining experience. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend Ammakase to anyone looking for a unique, healthy and artfully presented Indian Omakase meal.
Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour — you could tell great care went into both the cooking and the details. What truly set this place apart were the personal touches: a personalised menu with our names and the dishes we ordered, as well as a printed group photo given to each of us to take home. These thoughtful gestures turned a wonderful meal into a truly memorable experience.
Impeccable service, beautiful food, and heartfelt hospitality. Highly recommended.
