This writer, a Mumbaikar, fell in love with Delhi during her short span of stay there before moving back to the Bay before the lockdown. The which-city-does-it-better debate was a frequent topic at community meal tables. So when YouMee, one of Delhi’s popular pan-Asian restaurants themed around Manga, announced it was offering a delivery format in Mumbai, it was easy to rest our case. Delhi scores high in nuances, authentic menus and un-Indianised Asian fare. The restaurant also has a presence in Bengaluru.

The delivery kitchen, which operates from High Street Phoenix Mills in Lower Parel, delivers within a 15-km radius but also delivers meal kits across the city. The food was delivered by restaurant staff armed with masks and gloves who arrived in a sanitised vehicle. The bags were sealed with tapes that read: Quality checked. It also mentioned the body temperature of the chef, food packer and delivery person.
