A bubbling pot of flavourful broth, simmering gently on the table, surrounded by laughter, chatter, and the sizzle of fresh ingredients hitting the bubbling liquid—that’s the enchantment of a hotpot. More than just a meal, hotpot is taking the global food scene by storm as an experience that warms the soul and brings people closer, satisfying both the palate and the craving for connection. Round up your squad and dive into the ultimate hotpot experience at these top spots in the city.
This Korean-style communal hotpot is about sharing and savouring together. Mirai in Bandra offers a variety of ingredients—like meat, seafood, mushrooms, and vegetables—beautifully arranged in a shallow pot, simmered in a seasoned broth right at the table with an in-built hot stove. Jeongol dates back to ancient times when soldiers would cook food in their iron helmets during war due to a lack of cooking utensils. Today, it’s a comforting, flavourful dish that brings people together—much like other Korean hotpots such as budae jjigae (army stew) or shabu-shabu, but with its unique twist and vibrant presentation.
