The Kitchen

A room, twenty seats, and a printed menu.

Ember & Ash is one dining room in Bandra West, a walk-in cellar, and a kitchen that opens onto both. Chef Aditi Menon came home from Kyoto in 2024 and hasn’t stopped buying limes. The menu is written every Sunday and printed on Monday morning. There is no à la carte, no substitutions, and no children under twelve — for reasons the chef will explain if you ask her at the pass.

Signature

The regulars

What people say at the bar.

The aubergine is a small perfect thing. The room is small and dark and the chef comes out at the end of the night to shake your hand. I have started planning my Fridays around it.

Bandra · dined seven times

I brought my mother and she asked for the recipe. The chef said no, in Malayalam, and my mother nodded, in Malayalam. That was the moment I understood the restaurant.

Rohan V.

Colaba · dined twice

The wine list is short and unusual. The service is honest without being austere. The music is louder than you expect and the seat is closer to the kitchen than you want. All three are correct.

Common questions

Before you book.

How far in advance should I book?

Reservations open every Sunday at 10 am for the following week. Weekends fill within an hour. We hold four seats at the bar every night for walk-ins.

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?

Yes — the tasting menu is written in two parallel columns and either can be requested at booking. About a third of our small plates are naturally vegan; the rest can be adapted with 24 hours’ notice.

Are children welcome?

We ask that children be aged twelve and above for dinner service. Sunday brunch is family-friendly and we keep a small kids’ menu for the 11am–2pm window.

Do you cater to allergies?

Please tell us at booking. Serious allergies (nuts, shellfish, gluten) we handle by rewriting your specific menu ahead of the meal. Ambiguous "spicy" requests we handle by asking follow-up questions.

Is the restaurant available for buyouts?

Yes — the dining room seats 20 and the private table below the wine cellar seats 8. Buyouts are available Tuesday to Thursday. Ask on the private-dining page.
