We almost missed out on this restaurant. Trishna's is famous in Mumbai for its pepper garlic King Crab. It also happens to be a place frequented by the who's who list of Mumbai elite. For a city with a population as large as Mumbai there is a very insular upper class society. They shop at the same stores and frequent the same restaurants (go to the same schools, have their hair done in the same salons, take tea at the same hotels, etc). Walk into Indigo and it will seem as if everyone knows each other, this is because they do.
I kept hearing that Trishna's had sufferred from this kind of attention. A victim of its own fame and popularity with Mumbai's jetset. Foodie friends told me to go elsewhere for my seafood fix but I was either there on a night when the kitchen was very on or Trishna's is sufferring from reverse snobbery. The seafood is of excellent quality and their preparation of it is very special. I think you'd be hard pressed to find the dishes here prepared at this level anywhere else in the world, which makes it a must visit if you are in Mumbai.
