Easter in Mumbai is going to be special this time around as many from the Catholic community are going to make the most of the opportunity to celebrate the festival like they would every year before the pandemic. Given that more people are choosing to dine out more frequently than they did in the last two years, city restaurants are putting together something for every person who wants to celebrate over the long weekend.
The menus — both traditional and innovative — include a wide variety of dishes made from chicken, pork, turkey and lamb. Obviously, Easter is incomplete without its fair share of desserts in the form of Easter eggs, puddings, tarts and the traditional Goan sweet bebinca too.
