Akira Back

Following the success of Yellowtail and Kumi in Vegas, chef Akira Back has turned his eyes towards global domination. His eponymous restaurant launched in JW Marriott Hotel New Delhi Aerocity in 2014 and has now made its way to our shores. The modern restaurant serves Japanese cuisine with Korean accents like toro caviar ($68), tuna sashimi spiced with gochujang sauce and topped with Oscietra caviar. Other must-tries include the tuna pizza ($28), a thin, crispy pizza base covered with finely sliced tuna over ponzu mayonnaise, sprinkled with truffle oil and shiso leaf. For mains, opt for the fork-tender 48-hour sanchoku short rib ($56) or perfectly cooked Jidori chicken ($30) that's served on a bed of truffled mashed potatoes.
