Rank 1. INJA
Japanese
The cold palak paneer is plated to look like Mount Fuji, which tells you everything about the mood here. INJA is a fine dining restaurant inside The Manor Hotel that folds Indian and Japanese cooking into each other with a straight face and a good sense of humor. Kachori gets salmon caviar, cauliflower street food becomes a maki roll. Cocktails lean into the same playful logic. It earned a spot on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list.

A tree sculpture anchors the central bar of this upscale izakaya inside the JW Marriott Aerocity, where indigo floors meet textured concrete and floor-to-ceiling windows open onto a terrace. TV chef and restaurateur Dave Myers brought his Japanese flagship concept here in its first izakaya form, a dressed-up take on the classic Tokyo drinking-den format. The 50 Discovery named it among their picks.

Rank 2. Izumi Assagao
Japanese
A Japanese restaurant inside a boutique guesthouse in Assagao, where giant palms shade an indoor-outdoor room that looks out over a pool. The original outpost in Mumbai built a following among people serious about Japanese food, and this Goa sibling carries the same ambitions north. The cocktail list leans hard into Japanese pantry ingredients, yuzu, umeshu, shiso, and is worth starting with before anything else arrives.
