Critically acclaimed Chef Rohit Ghai and Abhishake Sangwan will return to Mayfair - the neighbourhood where Rohit made his name and they first began to work with one another – to launch Manthan.

Manthan, meaning to churn and reflect, is inspired by Ghai's extensive international career to date, and dishes will reflect his culinary experiences – both professional and personal – in kitchens all over the world as well as the street food markets, he has frequented for over 20 years throughout India.

Drinks-wise, a concise cocktail menu has been compiled by Abhi, formerly of Trishna and Bombay Bustle. The name Manthan also refers to the churning of the oceans and references Hindu mythology.

Interiors of sleek dark wood and marble finishes, and seats are arranged around a central statement bar, providing the perfect backdrop for convivial dining, drinking, and snacking.

Be advised that we do allow children under the age of 12 during our lunch s

    We had a decent experience at Manthan, from the bar experience till the main course everything is just about right except for the space of the place. I would recommend the new sister branch of theirs 'Vatavaran', which is notch higher in every aspect. Having said that, a good dining experience.

    Our total dining experience at Manthan was exceptional. The staff were friendly, welcoming and extremely attentive to all the diners in the restaurant. Every dish we tried was full of fresh ingredients and flavor. The cocktails were just the right blend of flavors and paired with each course perfectly. If you love authentic Indian cuisine, in a friendly charming environment, please try Manthan.
