About
The eighth Kuuraku outlet in India and the group's most specialised format, Robata Kuuraku focuses exclusively on the traditional robatayaki method: slow-cooking over glowing lava stones for deep, smoky flavour. Operated and led by Japanese professionals as part of the Hirohama Corporation's global network, the Phoenix Palladium venue offers an open-fire theatre dining experience paired with curated sake and Japanese whisky. Staff greet guests in Japanese and maintain the full hospitality protocols of the parent company. Priced above the standard Kuuraku izakaya, this is Kuuraku's prestige Mumbai offering.
Neighborhood & visiting
Robata Kuuraku sits in Lower Parel, one of Mumbai's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused yakitori counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional yakitori restaurants often close between service periods.
