5 Must-Try New Menus In Mumbai

Chefs need to constantly reinvent menus today as diners experience monotony easily. Menus must be trendy with exciting offerings to keep diners interested, else they seek other options. Restaurants in Mumbai are thus keeping themselves relevant with new inclusions in their menus, often with seasonal ingredients. The dishes in these menus are varied and aim to cater to a wider array of palates. Some are limited edition menus, others, operational for a few months or a year at least.
