Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book?
Reservations typically open 30 days in advance and fill quickly. We recommend booking as soon as reservations open, especially for weekend dining.
What is the emoji menu?
Chef Gaggan's famous emoji menu presents dishes as a sequence of emojis rather than text descriptions. Each emoji hints at the ingredients or sensations you'll experience. It's part performance art, part fine dining.
