Hidden behind a quiet green gate in Lodi Colony, Megu rewrites Delhi’s Japanese playbook with snow-aged wagyu, yuzu-kissed sashimi and sake poured into hand-blown glass. In a city where butter chicken still rules, this ivory-and-cedar sanctuary dares diners to trade chilli for kizami wasabi, proving that India’s capital can kneel to the precision of Tokyo without surrendering its own roaring appetite for spectacle.

Perched within The Leela Palace New Delhi, Megu reinterprets Japanese fine dining through an Indian lens—think Hokkaido scallops kissed with yuzu on a custom robata, or truffle-laced Kyoto-style pork belly—served amid back-lit onyx walls and a 1,000-bottle sake library; the 4.7-star buzz reflects both the theatre of tableside torches and the quiet precision of chefs flown in from Tokyo.
