Mumbai has a somewhat ravenous appetite for destruction - of roads, greenery and most of all, our waistlines. Not to trivialize the state of infrastructure or anything, but we’re particularly concerned about the latter most given that it’s basically become culinary Christmas all year round.

We’ve been through the breakfasts, and the porcine pleasures, the partially extinct steaks and the sweetest of dessert fairies, we’ve been through the sour and we’ve been through the sweet and now that we near the end of the road’s beginning, it’s time to get tighter in our appreciation of the dishes available to us in Mumbai. First on our list this fine Thursday morning, ‘Creatively Sweet.’ Join us as we including a cookie that’s also a pizza and a mascarpone mango yolk delight that looks exactly like an Eggs Benedict.

These are, without a doubt, some of Mumbai’s most unique desserts. We dare you to stop at just one.
