Bucket List Pani Puri Margarita (liquid street indian, tequila , tamarind , chili mint infusion, melds india's favorite chaat with mexico's favorite drink)

This is an upscale restaurant where you won’t find truffle oil or coconut foam—the down-to-earth kitchen eschews molecular gastronomy for more traditional uses of bold Indian and Latin spices.

Bucket List Pani Puri Margarita (tequila , tamarind chili mint infusion)

Amazing restaurant . Service was impeccable. Blue corn hearts of palm were my fav. Pear and chili cocktail was to die for. Def come here!!

Curry Leaf Tamarind Paneer (indian cottage cheese , shallot batter, jicama slaw )

Any of the 10 dish menus are great. They give you a wonderful tour of the types of foods they serve here.

Mango Cardamom Flan (coconut foam - fresh mango )

I was going to say how awesome the ribs are but now we are killing the goat cheesecake . Truely delicious meal. Don't pass Vermillion by!

The flavors are terrific. Try the artichoke pakoras . Or the juhu ki pani puri is fun, with the mint water that you pour into the shell.

Vermillion has two menus, 1 meat and 1 veggie . Worth the visit and the fusion of flavors works. Amazing. try the punjabi chloe from the street fair side of menu.

lobster portuguese (goan gravy , lemon rice )

Menu faves: Tapas - artichoke pakoras ; Main - lobster portuguese ; dessert - shahi tukra . All out of this world. Waiter Michael C was the perfect menu tour guide.

Pani Puri Margarita is probably my favorite cocktail here

tiffin “pindi” butter chicken (naan , chutney , slaw )

tellicherri crab masala (with cool slaw )

Appetizers and cocktails are great. Devil in the White Citu cocktail was great

Decent food, but missing a certain je ne sais quoi to bring it to that true gourmet level. Fine dining prices without an attention to detail. Think Ikea does upscale . Scallops are amazing however.

rice - lemon rice , steamed basmati

Lentil soup is spicy and amazing! Gobi and eggplant combo entree was disappointing. Lukewarm and not half amazing as I had hoped. :-(.

The Brazilian seafood stew was amazing

Overrated. The portions left something to be desired. I got the tilapia and was shocked at how small and flat it was. For the price this place is not worth it. However, the flan was superb.
