The wave of traditionality that took over this Diwali is still humming its riveting tunes. Take a cue and feast on authentic Indian menus at these 5 restaurants in Mumbai.
Diwali transcends the boundaries of just being a festival. With overwhelming servings of love, togetherness, food and cheer, the festival of lights stands synonymous to a celebration that can’t be shaken off in a day or two.
And if you’re still in a Diwali daze, we suggest you take it seriously! Take the glorious Indian route and dine at these 5 restaurants in Mumbai cooking up tempting traditional recipes.
Taftoon Bar & Kitchen
Traditional but make it fun. This is perhaps what Taftoon Bar & Kitchen aims for when preparing its adorably scrumptious version of mini-sized Chotey Kulche Chole—a flavourful North Indian recipe that one must not miss out on.
Pritam Da Dhaba
With its recently opened outpost in Juhu and the already existing one in Dadar, Pritam Da Dhaba is reeling back some of the most authentic Punjabi recipes on the table—think the aromatic Lasooni Palak, buttery Dal Makhani or the smashing Butter Chicken.
O Pedro
Carving its own niche of traditional Indian food, one of the restaurants in Mumbai, O Pedro’s menu generously draws inspiration from the Goan part of the country. And we just cannot stop thinking about Nish Te Rawa Fry, a fried fish recipe marinated in Goan garam masala and served with Thecha Aioli.
The Bombay Canteen
They call it Rista, a reimagined version of lamb meatballs in a spicy curry with its core flavours borrowed from the native Kashmir. At The Bombay Canteen, the lamb is replaced with pork and bacon meatballs cooked in a spice-laden broth topped with braised radish greens.
Khyber
A lip-smacking lesson on rich North Indian cuisine, hit Khyber’s address in the city, one of the restaurants in Mumbai, to feast on the choicest vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, including the classic and ever-so-charming biryani and succulent kebabs.
