Casual elegant dining with a modern Asian twistPromotes percussionists and touring bandsVoted Best Asian Restaurant in Mumbai by Savvy

THE SCENE »
This modern Southeast Asian restaurant harbours two distinct zones. The restaurant area bears resemblance to an urban Japanese garden, supplemented by water bodies around it to make the ambience spiritual. The bar, on the other hand, is earthy and minimalist with lounge style comfort seating and conversational music. World Music, with a leaning towards R&B, maintains the tempo.
Seijo boasts an elaborate list of celebrity guests, from starry couples like John Abraham and Bipasha Basu, Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh, to starry filmwallahs like Karan Johar and Tushaar Kapoor.
A soothing and non-intrusive atmosphere attracts most to this urban garden.


THE FOOD AND DRINK »
The brunch here consists of a cold Tapas buffet with sushi, rice paper rolls and Asian salads. Warm appetisers, mostly Satays, Gyozas and Tempura are rotated on each table. The Thai curry, Chicken Otak Otak, Mandarin Chicken and Sambal Prawns top the non-vegetarian preferences. For the veggies, the Cucumber & Cheese Sushi and Exotic Mushrooms & Bell Pepper Stir Fry are recommended. There is also a live counter of either Khow Suey or Stir Fry. A well crafted menu enables you to choose from a fine selection of main courses with equal emphasis on vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes.
The bar offers an interesting mix, showcasing signature cocktails with an Asian accent.The Lemongrass Mojito, Green Apple Martini, Mandarin Mojito, or Ginger and Lime Cocktail (Fresh ginger and lime muddled with mint and White Rum) will satiate that unquenchable thirst to explore the universe of alcohol.
For teetotallers, exotic fruit juices with equally rich syrups of one’s choice are offered. Banshee (Passion Fruit Juice, Sprite, fresh mint) and Bamboo Glow (banana, pineapple juice, cream of coconut) are a hit among mocktails.

THE VERDICT »
Catering to a 30 plus, well-off populace, it surely is meant for the elite. A trip to this restaurant is a planned event. (And your wardrobe better befit the ambience!) A tender evening is guaranteed with succulent delicacies. Relaxed service, tranquil surroundings, pebbled waterways, deviant music and a semblance of Japanese gardens – surely recommended!
