When you come to Opheem, you get an insight into the inner workings of my mind. We’re striving to push the boundaries with Indian flavours, but with cooking techniques from all over the world, some traditional, and some very modern. At Opheem, I’ll be using the same paints as I’ve always done, to create a very different picture, on a very, very different canvas. Why? Because to evolve and adapt is what makes us human, and cooking is what sets us apart from the animals.

We were among the first to arrive; within five minutes, a waiter approached us to present the menu. They were incredibly helpful in explaining some of the dishes and accommodating our inquiries about halal and vegetarian options. Someone was always available to address any questions and offer beverages, ensuring we didn't wait long to order and received the bill promptly after finishing. The restaurant itself was nicely lit, and the weather enhanced the atmosphere a bit, with the golden hour creating a lovely backdrop so early, as it is located on the 24th floor. The food was fabulous, and their salmon was one of the finest I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. The wait for the food felt brief; the bird's eye view captivated me as I waited, making the time fly. The only minor downside was the lint on the table upon arrival (which I presumed was from the napkins). Although the sunlight made it appear worse, it wasn't a significant issue and didn't taint my overall impression. Overall, it was an excellent experience; I plan to return, bringing more people next time!
