Donmai is a modern Japanese izakaya where food meets craft, and tradition finds a contemporary spirit. Rooted in Japanese philosophy and guided by a deep respect for process, Donmai was born from founder Ish Patil’s long-standing love for Japanese culture, its food, its rituals, and its quiet attention to detail. Inspired by the balance and restraint of Japanese cuisine, the menu focuses on thoughtfully prepared dishes that celebrate technique, seasonality, and honest ingredients.
Executive Chef, Oishik Neogy brings a focused, research-driven approach to the kitchen, shaping menus around regional Japanese stories, precise technique, and thoughtful restraint. His cooking balances authenticity with accessibility, creating food that is disciplined yet warm, and deeply aligned with Donmai’s philosophy of intentional hospitality.
