Wasabi by Morimoto
Wasabi by Morimoto is a Japanese restaurant inside the Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi that focuses on authentic cuisine using fresh ingredients imported from Japan. The space seats about 35 guests in a room with modern design, clean lines, and natural materials, filled with soft daylight during lunch hours and warm lighting in the evening.
The restaurant was founded by renowned Japanese chef Masaharu Morimoto, who brought his experience from Japan and global travels to the kitchen. Over time, it has built a solid reputation in Delhi as a trusted destination for authentic Japanese cuisine among both locals and travelers.
The name Wasabi refers to the pungent Japanese horseradish that anchors the cuisine, and you can experience this tradition through the careful preparation of each dish. The staff treats ingredients with respect and attention to detail, reflecting values central to Japanese culinary culture that visitors notice during their meal.
It is wise to make a reservation the day before, as the restaurant fills up quickly and tables are in high demand. The location near Khan Market and India Gate in central Delhi makes it easy to reach after exploring other parts of the city.
The restaurant offers complimentary Wasabi sorbet for dessert in flavors like Yuzu and Kinkan Compote, which many guests find surprising and refreshing. This unexpected finish highlights the kitchen's attention to detail and leaves a memorable impression at the end of the meal.
