Emerging from Zorawar Kalra’s House of Massive Restaurants is PA PA YA, the modern Asian bistro that has been satisfying all your cravings for Asian delights, making it agastronomical experience that you’ve never been on before.
Being the first one to introduce sushi to Mumbai, the legacy bistro is now celebrating 7 years in the industry. To mark this marvellous milestone, the restaurant has introduced a new menu featuring stellar Japanese and Chinese dishes.
The Modern Asian bistro can be best described as a ‘Chic, Modern and Radical’ reinterpretation of Asian cuisine that revolutionises the entire Pan-Asian dining experience through the assimilation of various cooking techniques and cultures found across the Asian continent. It is time to gear up and allow the masters of the craft to take you on a journey like no other.
Located in the heart of Mumbai with its presence in Phoenix Palladium and BKC, the charming restaurant with its luxurious comfy seating and a cozy vibe takes the experience a notch higher. Adding to this experience is a hearty new menu.
Zorawar Kalra says “Papaya has always been about innovation and quality. With our new chef team, we have now incorporated a brand new menu that is a natural evolution of the brand that first started the wave of pan Indian cuisine in Mumbai back in 2015. The new menu will feature a special dim sum menu with a very wide variety of authentic and modern dimsum featuring many exotic ingredients as well. We have also added a new Japanese menu that uses the highest quality ingredients in a contemporary manner thereby creating a very unique experience. It’s safe to say that Papaya made sushi mainstream back in 2015, well it’s now time to provide an altogether new experience that is sure to set new benchmarks for sushi in the city. A mix of Chinese and Japanese delicacies is the key focus in this iteration”
Some of the signature dishes from this menu are Crispy Cheung Fung and Chicken and Chestnut open faced dumpling. Coming to the most-loved sushi, new additions to the menu are Tokyo Roll, Dragon Roll, Volcano Roll, Cucumber Spicy Avocado Gunkan and Asparagus Tempura Roll. If you’re looking to give your regular meal a facelift, then do not miss out on the tapas with options like Rock Shrimp Tempura, Crispy Lotus Stem and the new Chawanmushi, Butta No Kakuni (braised pork belly), Hamachi Carpaccio with Truffle Ponzu and much more. Salad lovers can opt for the Crab Meat Salad or Avocado Lettuce Salad.
