Around Town: London's famed Wagamama lands in Mumbai, here's what to expect at this ramen giant
Wagamama, the popular global ramen chain, made its India debut late last month. Located on the first floor of the restored Cambata Building — home to the iconic Eros Cinema and the newly launched Swadesh by Nita Ambani — the 136-seater in South Mumbai has opened to a warm reception, with queues even on a Tuesday evening. Born in London's Bloomsbury in 1992, Wagamama is said to have flipped the script on Asian dining with its fast-paced, no-rules approach, serving food inspired by Japan's buzzing ramen bars and Asia's boldest flavours. Since then, it has become something of a cult classic across Europe and the Middle East. Its India entry signals more than the arrival of another restaurant; it underscores the world's growing attention to India's rising, spending population. The Mumbai outpost, spread across 4,000 sqft, offers a space that's minimal yet warm, reflecting its signature design with concrete and wood textures, bench seating, and origami-style hanging lamps. At the community tables, young parents, suited-up colleagues, and elderly diners share elbow space. The live open kitchen stays true to its ramen-bar inspiration; everything is served the moment it is ready. As soon as we placed our order, staff scribbled table numbers and details onto our paper placemats, and within minutes, appetisers began arriving. The menu features Wagamama's global hits: gyozas, katsu curry, yasai yaki soba, kare burosu, donburi bowls, and baos (prawn, lamb, chicken, and vegetarian). Over half the menu is vegetarian or vegan. We began with steamed yasai gyoza — lightly pan-fried, though slightly undercooked. The sticky miso corn ribs came alive with a touch of chilli sauce. The teriyaki renkon, developed for the Indian market, leaned sweeter than expected. The standouts? Firecracker cauliflower tucked into pillowy soft baos, delivering both crunch and heat, and kare burosu ramen with shichimi-coated silken tofu, udon noodles, and vegetables in a spicy, curried broth. For dessert, banana katsu, a golden-fried indulgence, balanced sweetness and crunch beautifully. At the core of Wagamama is kaizen, the Japanese philosophy of continuous improvement. When we mentioned the food leaning towards sweetness in some dishes, Chef Sunil Shetty acknowledged the feedback. 'Some guests are happy we've retained the London-style Wagamama. Others find it sweet. But we're working on it,' he said. Karan Kapur of K Hospitality Corp, the group that spent nearly two years bringing Wagamama to India, setting up the supply chain, and conducting exhaustive research and hundreds of trials, echoed the sentiment. Acknowledging India's diverse palate, he shared that they have added dishes for every palate, and they are also in the process of launching an India-specific chilli sauce for those who prefer a fiery kick. Kapur is also looking to take Wagamama across the country, with plans to launch 100 outlets over the next decade. Each opening, he says, will be deliberate and rooted in quality, not speed. Next stop: Delhi-NCR, where the second Wagamama is expected to open by April 2026, either in the heart of Delhi, the bustle of Gurgaon, or both.

Very surreal: Rebecca Romijn on returning as Mystique in Avengers: Doomsday
New Delhi, Aug 2 (PTI) Hollywood star Rebecca Romijn says she was surprised to receive a call to be part of the superhero ensemble film 'Avengers: Doomsday" and reprise the fan-favourite role of mutant Mystique from the 'X-Men" movies. Romijn, who stars in the third season of her popular show 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" currently streaming on JioHotstar, said she is in the midst of filming for the much-awaited project and the whole experience has been 'wonderful" so far. 'Very surreal. It was a call that was very unexpected for me and very thrilling. We're currently shooting and filming now and it's been wonderful so far," Romijn told PTI in an interview. The 52-year-old actor originated the role of Mystique in the 'X-Men" trilogy in the 2000s, portraying the shape-shifting mutant with a mix of cunningness and menace. Romijn first played the part in 2000's 'X-Men", followed by 'X2" (2003), and 'X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006). She also made a brief cameo in 'X-Men: First Class", in which Jennifer Lawrence took over the character from her. In 'Doomsday", she is returning along with a host of legacy 'X-Men" characters — Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier aka Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Kelsey Grammer as Hank McCoy aka Beast, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler and James Marsden as Scott Summers aka Cyclops. The movie, which will mark the return of 'Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) but in the avatar of supervillain Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom, will come out in theatres in December 2027. 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" features Romijn as Commander Una Chin-Riley, also known as Number One, the highly capable first officer aboard the USS Enterprise, serving under Captain Christopher Pike, played by actor Anson Mount. As a mother, Romijn said she consciously picks roles that serve as positive role models for her daughters and young girls watching globally. 'I am a mother of girls and so it's very important to choose roles that are positive role models for my daughters and for other young ladies around the world. And I take it into consideration. I don't take it lightly, especially when I'm leaving my daughters to go away on location and have to be away from them for long periods of time." The actor, also known for films like 'The Punisher", 'Femme Fatale" and 'Man About Town", said she aims to take on work she can be proud of, especially character she'll feel good about sharing with her children. 'I want to be proud of the work that I get to come back and show them… especially within the 'Star Trek' and genres of science fiction and comic book… I really enjoy playing female characters that are multifaceted and often just as strong as the male characters. It's important to me," she said. Romijn said both Una and Mystique are 'mutants to a certain extent" but they deal with their identities in very different ways. 'There are a lot of similarities between playing the mutant Mystique and playing a genetically modified character on Star Trek. They're both mutants to a certain extent. With Mystique, the difference is that she chose to not hide who she actually is and Una chose to hide her mutation. 'But the big difference is that Una chose to hide it until she was forced to go to trial and get cleared for it. And Mystique has chosen to not hide it and let that drive her," she said, adding that Mystique is a 'more dangerous character". Christina Chong, Romijn's co-star, plays La'an Noonien-Singh in 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and reflected on her character's emotional and genetic legacy. La'an is a descendant of Khan Noonien Singh, the infamous genetically enhanced villain from Star Trek lore. She carries not only augmented DNA, but also the heavy burden of a legacy — a name synonymous with fear, destruction, and historical trauma. She teased that La'an will confront this legacy in the new season, especially in the upcoming episode 'Four-and-a-Half Vulcans". 'She has recessive augmented DNA and so she does struggle with that. But for the most part of season three, she's allowing herself to let go a little more. She's fought her biggest enemy and won, and therefore she's opened up to a lighter side of herself and to potential love," she added. Chong also said that playing La'an helped her explore deeper emotional truths about herself. In the show, the character comes across as guarded and has a fear of connection, a theme many people relate to. top videos View all 'The fear aspect of connecting or finding love. The fear of losing it and therefore holding back. Although I don't hold back in my personal life, the fear is very real there. The abandonment issue that we all have in some way. Although I don't stop myself, there is a hurdle to jump over," she said. The third season of 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" also stars Ethan Peck, Jess Bush, Celia Rose Gooding, Melissa Navia, Martin Quinn, and Babs Olusanmokun.
