05 Nov, 2018 by Mini Ribeiro
Diwali, the festival of lights is all about celebrating the day with one’s family. What better way to make the day special than to step out for a family meal. Since the evenings are set aside for Lakshmi Pooja, typically one does not go out for dinner. Having lunch at a restaurant is thus, the preferred option of many and of course, it is vegetarian food on this auspicious day. An exciting vegetarian fare is available in several restaurants in Mumbai, as a thali or a buffet or even an a la carte meal and chefs put forth their best. Here are my top 5 recommendations for a memorable Diwali lunch.
This Diwali enjoy an exotic feast with your loved ones at Tuskers, Sofitel Mumbai BKC, with a grand Diwali Thali, specially curated by the chefs to usher in the festive mood. The delectable thali includes a variety of dishes, including Reshmi Paratha, Jaisalmeri Chana, Surti Dal, Dahiwale Aloo, Gulab Jamun, Rajbhog and much more.
