From traditional Odia dishes in the heart of Mumbai to 10 courses of seafood in Koregaon Park via Panjim, there’s a veritable buffet of options to nosh on in what’s supposed to be slow season. An Asian chain with over 200 outlets worldwide—a favourite of travelling desis—finally comes to an iconic cinema house in Mumbai. Hyderabad gets yet another enormous spot offering hearty, full-flavoured south Indian dishes with a touch of flair. For one day only, Goa gets to try egg custard on sourdough pizza. Gurugram gets a mezedes menu from a country made up of over 6,000 islands. In Pune, a bungalow becomes a pizzeria that we want to spend all day in with a good book. And at Bengaluru’s new-ish naan spot, a limited menu of monsoon mulled wine and pear-ginger punch alongside kheema pao. If this is July, what’s December gonna look like?
