ONI
I was invited for the launch of Oni - the newly opened
Japanese restaurant in Shangri- La hotel. Oni is an authentic Japanese
restaurant, where just about everything originated from Japan. From the ingredients, machinery, and anything
authentic you may spot – chances are it’s sourced from Japan.
The ambiance was very elegant. Oni has a separate bar and
dining area. Rebecca at the bar was extremely helpful and assisted us with our
choice of beverage. We started off with Espresso Margarita and then moved closer home to Red Wine.
Of the lot we were served – I loved the Tuna tacos and the
Milk cake.
The tuna tacos in combination with the truffles and avocado was simply sumptuous.
I was pretty intrigued to see the Robata grill. Oni uses
traditional methods of using charcoal to cook their Robatas, preserving the
juicy tenderness of the meat.
The Milk cake really stood out for me. It was scrumptious
and delish and I went in for a second helping as well.
We were served Salads, edamame, Prawn tempura, tuna tacos, sushi platter, ramen, milk cake and mochi.

The service was impeccable. The fact that they were all
dressed in Kimonos made the restaurant feel more authentic. Special mention to
Siddhesh who was ever ready to help.
Oni is a place for authentic Japanese street food, and
should definitely be on your must try list.
