By The Mekong - Mumbai

It is set on the 18th floor of the St. Regis hotel in Parel district of Mumbai. An exclusive restaurant that serves authentic Chinese food with a Chinese chef that we actually got to meet and thank at the end of our dinner there. The views of the city are stunning and even more so in the night sky. There were 15 of us that went here to celebrate a family event. We asked for and were given a separate room that even included its own bathroom. Two of the 4 walls were complete glass windows that offered great views. The setting was fabulous and memorable. We went for a set menu that had an abundance of starters, main course and desserts. We ordered the drinks separately that included a generous selection of Champagnes and Wines. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were larger than I could handle. We initially did a sampling of the starters and asked for 2nd servings of the starters that we really enjoyed. I would particularly recommend the Dumplings and the Radish based starters. The service was excellent and very prompt. There was a large assortment of desserts to choose from. By popular demand we asked for and were served this Tender Coconut based dessert which was delightful, though the quantity was small. But that was more than made up by the Chocolate cake that we had ordered, some of which we had to pack and take home. When it came to the bill, the staff pointed out that me by being a Marriott SPG program Gold Member, I was entitled to a 15 discount on the bill. This was a pleasant surprise as it saved us quite a bit on our bill. The Chef came out and many of us got to shake his hand and thank him for the wonderful dining experience we had had. Overall, a very memorable experience at 'By the Mekong'. Would highly recommend it.

The decoration portrayed subdued opulence with wooden floor, huge lamps artefacts. we chose a table at the window with magnificent view of the renn course, which made a perfect scene for the great meal. we were eager to try the new menu of chef shi xilin, think juicy dimme sums, wok sate dishes, creative asian desserts authentic aromen. was the day after? yes, absolutely

The young were so kind. the best I appreciate is that they found me in the cold, and they were kind enough to bring a cloth without even telling them. I was also allowed to swallow the suppe with appetizers. I liked all of them. the main course was average. the desert was delicious. will definitely visit again!

Very classy and upmarket ambience with excellent food and service.

Oh God such ambience this place has, service is top notch, looooove their food. Prices are also fine considering the whole package that they offer. Must try!
