Mumbai's Newest Culinary Destination - EIGHT

Inspired by the legacy of the ancient lands of Orient we invite you to an odyssey of taste and tradition.

Bellona Hospitality, the hospitality arm of Phoenix Mills, is delighted to announce the first epicurean experience in the all new culinary destination. Inspired by the internationally curated food floors in globally acclaimed locations such as the 5th floor of Harvey Nichols, the aim has been to create an epicurean ecosystem that seamlessly blends from eclectic shopping to luxury dining. Spearheaded by Prashant Issar, this concept aims to elevate the mall experience, by conceptualising a unique ‘indoor’ culinary carnival.

We begin this ‘World of Craft’ with our all new East & Oriental restaurant – Eight. Named after the luckiest number in China, Eight will imbibe the many qualities of this mystical numerical which includes Intuition, Wealth, Innovation, Abundance, Strength and Tradition.

Relish authentic delicacies served with a twist, the menu features favourites from Canton, Hongkong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Japan as well as some signatures from forgotten regions of China.

The focus point of the restaurant is the sushi bar, where patrons can dine by the counter while witnessing their hand rolled sushi being made freshly in front of them by our culinary maestros.

In an unwavering commitment to quality all our dishes are made with only the freshest ingredients and entirely house-made sauces.

Having learnt under the legends of Oriental cuisine, Chef Sagar Sarkar has put together the menu after his travels into the interiors of East Asia in a coming together of the very best of the regions.

The focus is on artistic contemporary cuisine that captures the lightness of the traditional dishes from that region. While the perennial favourites will still be an important part of the menu, customers can now start the meal with the lilting flavours of Eggplant in Tobanjan sauce, Smoked duck with spicy black bean, our signature Cantonese pork belly and the every favourite Soft Shell Crab to name a few.

The new menu offers over 20 varieties of dimsums. Prawn and crab roll, whose delicate flavours stand out without the usual dimsum skin will entice even the most reluctant palate, while the Spicy Hargaw is a sure winner! The tempura selection includes Seabass and Yam bean will tempt the guest with its aromas. Black cod in white miso, Braised pork belly with daikon are some of the other favourite on the menu. The assortment of Woks and Ramen make for a perfect meal in its self. Though we highly recommend you don’t leave without ordering a steaming hot bowl of Seafood spiced fried rice or our signature curries – Thai, Malaysian and 8 Spices which are all made from scratch entirely by house-made sauces.

The restaurant has ensured its vegetarian patrons get a fair share of the cuisine to cater to this growing audience. After a lot of R&D, the dishes added include Tofu & eggplant in black bean claypot, Truffle edamame & blue pea jasmine fried rice and much more, all created using truly authentic vegetarian ingredients and flavours never before tried in India.

A true East & Oriental meal is always accompanied with tea that is perfectly paired with the foods. Eight however will offer a host of crafted beverages and signature cocktails that also compliment the cuisine. To make the meal truly memorable our meals end with signature desserts crafted from the soon to open patisserie which will be enhancing their offerings the star fresh seasonal ingredients.

With many more surprises for patrons in store, Eight marks the start of our culinary carnival and an exciting much awaited new culinary addition to the city.
