Cream, coffee and cocoa are the holy trinity that makes up everything good in the world. One being espresso-soaked ladyfingers topped with creamy layers of delicious mascarpone cheese and a generous garnish of cocoa dust. With a surplus of amazing bakeries and restaurants, tiramisu is not hard to find in Mumbai. But the absolute best ones? Well, we have compiled a list bringing you just that! Plan your next visit from our pick of the absolute best tiramisu in Mumbai for some mindless and sinful indulgence.
1. Americano
A decadent delight, Americano’s spongy and dense take on tiramisu easily places it as one of our top contenders. Break through its crunchy chocolate disk to reveal a silky texture resting on rum and coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Difficult to get a reservation in, this luxurious dessert is certainly worth the wait. Further, pair the dessert with glasses of tantalising cocktails offering concoctions spanning 2 pages.
📍Kala Ghoda, Fort
2. Cecconi’s
Serving delicious Italian in Mumbai’s Soho House, Cecconi brings authentic flavours your way, one of them being its luscious tiramisu. Offering a light and creamy texture that melts in your mouth, their tiramisu easily wins all hearts. We recommend a breakfast visit as we love their flaky Pain au chocolat stunning us with its stellar focaccia sequence. A tiramisu always follows soon after (who said sweet treats are only reserved for later?).
📍Soho House Mumbai, Juhu
3. Toast Pasta Bar
A pasta and cocktail bar, Toast makes its own savoiardi biscuits and tops it all with a magnanimous garnish of Callebaut cocoa. The taste of spiced rum cuts through the creamy textures with equal amounts of sweetness following through. The eatery is further famous for its spectacular dessert options from hot chocolate pudding with a dollop of hazelnut gelato to its spongy sticky toffee pudding.
📍Kamala Mills Compound, Lower Parel
4. Gustoso
We went for their Neapolitan-style pizzas but kept coming back for their delicious tiramisu. The eatery further provides custom tiramisu cakes for special occasions like your daughter’s graduation or for a Friday evening celebrating the end of the week. The sky’s the limit, honestly! This velvety delight serves as the perfect closure after slices of their perfectly charred and crusty Margherita pizza or their homemade plates of pasta.
📍Kwality House August Kranti Marg, Grant Road
5. Mokai
This restaurant offers variations of your favourite dessert that break past its standard dessert profile. Get ready for some buttery and crispy tiramisu French toast served with a dollop of ice cream or a tiramisu iced latte with a stick of ladyfinger perched for dousing. You can further try their velvety tiramisu hot chocolate or go for their mocha-misu which comes both gluten and sugar-free.
📍Chapel Road, Bandra West
6. Si Nonna’s
Known for some of Mumbai’s best sourdough pizzas, Si Nonna’s takes its dessert options just as seriously. Each spoonful here carries a perfect balance between sweetness and the subtle bitterness of coffee. We recommend saving up quite an appetite here as the sourdough pizzas slathered with homemade marinara and fresh basils call for a reorder.
📍Kamala Mills Compound, Lower Parel
7. Napoli by Shatranj
Served in a cocktail glass, the tiramisu at Napoli mimics its Italian heritage serving bouts of tender bites. Further enhanced with soulful Italian dishes and renditions of classic cocktails, Napoli offers a perfect package if you are looking for a long and appetising luncheon.
📍Union Park, Pali Hill
8. Late Checkout
The newest cocktail bar in Lower Parel, Late Checkout serves an unusual interpretation of the classic Italian dessert. Forget coffee and rum and replace it with gin and matcha! Yes, with lady fingers soaked in this enticing combination, the dessert further pushes the envelope as it layers dainty strawberry caviars instead of the standard cocoa dusting. Pair it with a glass of gin infused with lemongrass and you have yourself a pretty romantic dessert and drinks date.
📍Mathuradas Mill Compound, Lower Parel
9. La Loca Maria
A deconstructed revision of tiramisu, La Loca Maria, serves the treat with coffee crisps, coffee ice cream and a delicious and tender coffee sponge. Voted by many as one of the best tiramisu in Mumbai, we can further confirm that it certainly keeps its promise. Retaining the essence of the dessert, its wonderful presentation will keep you intrigued yet certainly satisfied.
📍Fatima Villa, Bandra West
10. Donna Deli
Adopting a pull-me-up look, the tiramisu at Donna Deli is layered with creamy mascarpone, generous koinonia coffee dust, and a rich dulce de leche. Patrons often swab the plate clean of the mess made as the dessert rarely disappoints. Further, you can try their spectacular arrays of dim sums and sushis or go for a hearty bowl of ramen.
📍Swami Vivekananda Rd, Bandra West
