New Menus in Mumbai Restaurants You Must Try in October 2024:
Ishara, Lower Parel
To celebrate 5 years of its establishment, Ishara has launched a new tasting menu that showcases the rich heritage of Indian spices and techniques. There are vegetarian and non-vegetarian set menus with 4-course and 5-course options. We recently got a chance to taste both variants and were impressed by the powerful flavors and gorgeous presentation of the dishes. Vegetarians will love the unique texture of the Water Chestnut and Sweet Corn Tikkis and the Goat Paneer Chilli with Stuffed Bhavnagri Chillies. For mains, enjoy the creamy Delhi Special Nehru Palace Paneer Makhani and Shahi Dal Haveli with delicious Indian breads. We finished our meal with a satisfying Carrot Halwa Crumble made with summer carrots. The non-veg tasting menu also includes tikkis, sweets and dal. Our two favorite non-veg dishes were the beautifully melt-in-the-mouth Rawas Dil Tikka and the aromatic Dindigul Mutton Biryani. The latter is none other than the iconic Thalappakatti Biryani of Tamil Nadu and is a must try in Ishara.
