Megu

Megu at the Leela Palace in Chanakyapuri might cost you an arm and a leg, but as far as Japanese cuisine in the city goes, it’s unparalleled in quality and flavour. Introducing patrons to modern Japanese cuisine, Megu is regarded as a champion of its cause not only here in the city, but also around the world. The quality maintained here is not just meat-deep. All dishes are prepared using bold new ingredients imported from Tsukiji market in Tokyo, and a novel grilling technique called sumibi aburiyaki which uses a special bincho-tan charcoal found only near Kyoto and is prized for its superior purifying properties. Accompany each bite-sized portion with an extensive wine menu that exceeds 600 labels and even 60 varieties of the potent and delicious sake from Japan. The chef recommends the salmon tartare, hamachi carpaccio, crispy asparagus, and Wagyu slices, but experiment with the menu to identify your favourites.
