New Menus In Mumbai Restaurants You Must Try In October 2024:

Ishaara, Lower Parel

To celebrate 5 years of its establishment, Ishaara 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 had the chance to taste both types recently and were left impressed with the robust flavours and gorgeous presentation of the dishes. Vegetarians will love the unique texture of the Water Chestnut and Sweet Corn Tikki and the indulgence of the Goat Cheese Pepper featuring a stuffed Bhavnagari Chilli. In the mains, relish the creamy Delhi Special Nehru Palace Paneer Makhani and regal Dal Haveli with a mouth-watering assortment of Indian breads. We ended our meal with a satisfying Gajar Halwa crumble made with summer carrots. The tikki, dessert and dal also feature in the non-veg tasting menu. Two of our favourite non-veg dishes were the beautifully melt-in-the-mouth Rawas Dill Tikka and the aromatic Dindigul Mutton Biryani. The latter is none other than the iconic Thalappakatti Biryani from Tamil Nadu and is a must-try at Ishaara.
