Restaurant Week Mumbai: Chefs reveal their menu highlights
The most detailed guide to Mumbai Restaurant Week you can find
Jeetesh Kaprani, food and beverage service manager at Ziya, recommends the nariyal mirch jhinga at his restaurant.
Most sequels suck, so it’s always refreshing to find those concepts that break the cliché. And this exception you can eat.
Restaurant Week Mumbai (September 19-25), like its global counterparts, is a week-long opportunity to eat high-end meals at discounted rates at the city's best restaurants.
In its second year, Restaurant Week Mumbai part deux is bigger and better.
Participating restaurants include Hakkasan, West View (ITC Maratha), Saffron (JW Marriott Mumbai) Ziya and Vetro (The Oberoi), India Jones (The Trident), The Table, Indigo, Neel at Tote on the Turf, Olive Bar & Kitchen (Mahalaxmi and Pali Hill), The Great Wall (The Leela Mumbai), Koh and Kebab Corner (InterContinental Marine Drive), San-Qi (Four Seasons Hotel).
These fine-dining restaurants will offer a three-course fixed-price menu for Rs 1,000 (excluding taxes, beverages) during the week.
But before we get into the pork belly, sea bass, crispy ginseng squash and other items the chefs have put on the menu, there's a couple of other specials you need to know about.

Specials: Chef's Table, Olive Kitchen Party
This Restaurant Week Mumbai enjoy a kitchen party at Olive Bar & Kitchen in Mahalaxmi.
It'll include a few surprise dishes, a free glass of Prosecco and alcohol-paired menus as well.
Book a seat at Chef’s Table here, from September 12-18, Rs 3,000 for vegetarians and Rs 3,500 for non-vegetarians, excluding taxes.
The other way to feel special during Restaurant Week is to sign up for a kitchen raid.
On September 21, the Restaurant Week boys are giving you an all-access pass to Mahalaxmi's Olive Bar & Kitchen's kitchen, so to speak.
Here, too many cooks only make the broth better.
Schmooze with the restaurant’s head chef plus two guest cooks, steal recipes, whip up dishes and bat your eyelids for future free dessert.
Tickets for Kitchen Party are available at Mumbai's two Olive outlets (addresses below) starting September 10 for Rs 1,500 (includes entry and food).
