Masque Mumbai

No.68 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef

Veronica's Take

Masque Mumbai, recently crowned No.68 on the World's 50 Best list for 2025, is the bold culinary vision of self-taught chef and entrepreneur Aditi Dugar, who transformed a historic Mumbai textile mill into a temple of Indian gastronomy. With a 10-course tasting menu that showcases the country's diverse produce, Masque has become a beacon for those seeking to experience India's culinary wealth in its most innovative form. After the departure of founding chef Prateek Sadhu in 2022, the kitchen is now expertly led by Varun Totlani, who continues to push the boundaries of modern Indian cuisine while honoring its rich traditions.
