Mumbai's restaurants are striking a balance between comfort and creativity with their latest menu launches this season. While some chefs are leaning into familiar flavours with fresh twists, others are creating entirely new dining experiences that surprise and engage. From menus that offer hearty, satisfying plates to those built around presentation and theatre, there's something to suit every kind of diner. Whether you're in the mood to try something bold or just want a reliable favourite done differently, these new offerings bring variety without losing warmth. Here's a round-up of the latest menus that are worth checking out:
1. CinCin, BKC
CinCin has recently upgraded its menu to reflect a new approach that spans Italy's diverse culinary regions, expanding beyond its Amalfi roots. Led by Executive Chef Dayamani Singh, the latest offerings feature lip-smacking handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, Cicchetti options and much more. We had the opportunity to try some of them and discovered many delicious delights we would return for. We highly recommend the Crostini E Zucca, Milanese-Style Fried Chicken (Pollo), Achiughe e Nocciola, Finocchio Fritte, Tajarin al Tartufo (Piedmont), Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina, Napoli & Pepperonata pizzas, among others. Dessert ranges from soft and refreshing to fully indulgent - and we relished every bite of the Torta di Lampone, Crespelle and Cannolo. Guests can now also enjoy a fresh cocktail selection and an expanded wine program. The menu is designed for community-style dining, with larger sharing platters and a focus on unfussy, regionally rooted Italian flavours.

2. Amadeo by Oberoi, BKC
Amadeo by Oberoi has revamped its menu to include bold new dishes creatively crafted with the freshest ingredients. The curation features Mediterranean small plates, artisanal pastas, robata grills, elevated Japanese fare and modern Indian signatures. We had the opportunity to taste some of the scrumptious new additions. We liked the Truffle Tadka Dahi Kebab, Truffle chicken sheekh kebab, the Chicken Lasagne and the Chilean sea bass. But three dishes stood out especially, and we are still thinking about them. The Biainco Buratta pizza with confit cherry tomatoes, rocket leaves and olive tapenade was a comforting and flavourful treat. We also loved the refreshing and refined layers of the Hamachi Usuzukuri, served with avocado tartare. For dessert, we indulged in Amadeo's new Chocolate Geode (a chocolate mousse creation with berry sorbet). It tasted so decadent, you can't immediately tell it's a gluten-free delicacy with no added sugar.
