Ellipsis is a chic high-end dining in Mumbai that serves American and European food with a twist. Obviously I have not been to all the restaurants in town, but having been in Mumbai for a year and a half and heard of what expats call their top dining choices in Mumbai, it’s safe to say that Ellipsis is one of the top restaurants in Mumbai according to foreigners who live here. I know many expat friends who would call Ellipsis their favorite restaurant and they all seem to be fans of Chef Kelvin Cheung, who is the current head chef at Ellipsis.
This post is a long overdue for me. The first time my husband and I were introduced to Ellipsis in Mumbai was almost a year ago. I did not bring my DSLR camera, so I didn’t have any photos except for some photos I took on my iPod Touch which became ones of the earlier posts I made on my Instagram account. Our really good couple friends in Mumbai are huge fans of Ellipsis. They have told us numerous times how much they loved Ellipsis, so our curiosity grew. Then they planned a New Year’s Eve celebration at Ellipsis in 2013 and invited us. That became an unforgettable night with amazing food.
We had a chance to go back to Ellipsis for dinner again with the same friends in November 2014 (last month). This time I brought my camera. A dinner at Ellipsis is a special experience with them as they have made a reservation for a private room both times we went there. How often do you get to have a meal where the head chef who comes in and explain the dishes? I only know a handful of places that happened to us. Dining experience like this at Ellipsis is something that we could indulge in every so often in Mumbai. It is also one of those celebrity-like dining experience that we could afford when living overseas.
The team of Ellipsis can be found on their website here. Besides the quality of food, the interior of the restaurant was something that caught my attention. It’s unique and distinguished. My photos did not do justice, but also it’s not easy to take photos in the dimmed light. The interior of the restaurant was designed by an award winning designer, Thomas Schoos who is a well-known designer who has also done some home designs for Hollywood celebrities and founder of Schoos Design.

I wanted to show you what the dishes looked like, so here are the photos. Taking photos inside with little light is very challenging and the colors do not turn out well. I hope you can get the idea of what the food is like at Ellipsis. I would love to go back and take photos of the food with the natural sun light.

This photo above might not look appetizing to you, but this dessert was delicious! It might be one of the most delicious and unique desserts I have had in my life! What was the name? I’m sorry, I can’t remember…
With the brunch menu offered and hearing from friends how fabulous Ellipsis’ brunch is, I feel the need for my husband and myself to bring our kids to have brunch at Ellipsis. It’ll be a very different experience going back to Ellipsis with kids after two fabulous and fun nights with our lovely friends.
