Pearl of the Orient is the revolving resturant on top of Ambassador Hotel in Mumbai and has got to have probably the best view of Mumbai. Since its a revolving resturant, you can get an amazing view of South Mumbai, the queens necklace etc in about approximately 70 minutes, thats how much time it takes for one full round.
The food at the resturant as the name suggests is Oriental with each page of the Menu belonging to a different country or region like it starts with Japanese, Thai, Shanghai, Beijing, Shezwan etc. When I had gone to this resturant for the first time as a kid many years back I remember they used to serve Indian food and the service was really really bad but over the years they have changed their menu from Indian to Oriental and the service has also improved a lot although it can be slow at times but because of the amazing ambience and view you dont mind waiting little bit longer especially if you have the right company.
Also the pricing of the place is quite decent considering its in a 5 star hotel. You can say the prices are little bit higher than decent Chinese resturants in Mumbai. The quantity of food in each portion is also good, much improved from before. Food is quite good, maybe not as delicious as China Garden but has its own distinct taste.
I think Pearl of the Orient is one of the best resturants in Mumbai because it has all the ingredients for a good resturant - Good Food, amazing ambience, best view of Mumbai, the revolving resturant is an experience itself. All in all, its a place thats makes you feel like going there again and again.
