The palate constantly seeks new and exciting flavours. New menus are a great way to treat one’s taste buds to these. Mumbai restaurants are regularly striving to offer excitement to the discerning gourmand today. Menus are reinvented and revamped by chefs, with a view to injecting a freshness and avoiding monotony. This season, several fresh menus await diners with several new offerings. My top 5 picks.
