About Karishma
I judge restaurants the way most people judge first dates. The food has to impress, the interiors need personality, and the vibe has to make me want to stay for “just one more.” Being a MasterChef India finalist just means I’m a little harder to please. ;) If I’ve recommended a place, it’s because I genuinely love it.
01Maximalist osteria
4.6374 reviews
A maximalist dream with rich interiors you’ll want to soak in long after your meal. The Italian food is fuss-free, authentic and consistently excellent, making it one of my favourite spots for date nights or leisurely brunches.
02Chic café
4.1413 reviews
Proof that understated can still make a statement. I love the chic interiors, the little touches of cherry red, and the simple menu done exceptionally well. The bread and butter board is a must.

03European grand café
4.71,867 reviews
The Guild is effortlessly elegant without ever feeling stuffy. Beautiful European-inspired interiors, incredible attention to detail, and a menu that’s made for sharing.
04Glam Japanese
4.41,632 reviews
Bold, theatrical and unapologetically glamorous. Sexy Fish is as much about the atmosphere as it is the food, and no visit is complete without a stop at the iconic women’s powder room before settling in for Japanese-inspired dishes and great cocktails.
05Persian grill house
4.76,352 reviews
Berenjak is one of those restaurants that gets everything right. The warm Persian-inspired interiors feel intimate without trying too hard, and the menu is packed with dishes you’ll want to order for the table. Don’t skip the freshly baked bread, the mezze or the kebabs. This is comfort food at its very best.

06Art Deco bar
4.6271 reviews
Step inside and it feels like you’ve wandered into another era. Inspired by the glamour of the 1920s, the space is filled with rich textures, warm lighting and elegant Art Deco details. It’s the kind of place that’s made for lingering over beautifully crafted cocktails and great music.
071920s Osaka dining
4.51,048 reviews
Inspired by 1920s Osaka, Mimi Kakushi has a timeless elegance that’s hard to beat. Rich wood, soft lighting and vintage touches set the mood, while the Japanese menu is one you’ll keep thinking about long after you’ve left.
