Try These New Menus In Mumbai Restaurants In Monsoon 2025
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.

Vishal Aditya Singh Shares Screenshot Of His Last Chat With Shefali Jariwala
With a heavy heart and moist eyes, Shefali Jariwala's family and friends performed her last rites on June 28 at Mumbai's Oshiwara Crematorium. Leaving a permanent void in the entertainment industry, the popular Kaanta Laga girl Shefali Jariwala died at 42 on June 27. The actress and model's sudden demise due to cardiac arrest sent shockwaves across the globe and among her fans. She was rushed to the Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai but was declared dead on arrival. With a heavy heart and moist eyes, her family and friends performed her last rites on June 28 at Mumbai's Oshiwara Crematorium. Well now, television actor and Shefali's close friend, Vishal Aditya Singh, took to social media to share the last conversation he had with the actress on Wednesday, June 25. In the screenshot, we can see that the actress had planned to meet him on June 27, around 10 pm, the same day when she breathed her last. The chat began with Vishal sending a list of restaurants, including Gigi (Bandra), Ditas (Lower Parel), Slink & Bardot (Worli), Masala Library (BKC) and Amazonia (BKC). To this, Shefali responded, 'Sun na today all places will be dead. Shall we go on Friday?" Vishal nodded, saying, 'Yes, you are right," and they locked the plan for Friday, June 27, at 10 pm. Sharing the screengrab, Vishal penned, 'Jari," with a heartbreak emoji. Shefali Jariwala and Vishal Aditya Singh met inside the confines of the Bigg Boss 13 house. The actor entered the Salman Khan-hosted show as a wildcard, and the duo soon developed a close bond of friendship with each other. Her last rites have been performed by her dad, Satish Jariwala, her husband, Parag Tyagi, and her sister, Shivani Jariwala. To bid her farewell, her Bigg Boss 13 co-contestants Paras Chhabra, Rashami Desai, Shehnaaz Gill, Vikas Gupta and Arti Singh attended her funeral. The exact cause of her death has not been confirmed yet. According to the sources cited by The Indian Express, Jariwala had taken her usual pills on Friday night. In the afternoon, she had a shot of the anti-ageing drug, which involved the use of vitamin C and glutathione, a drug commonly used for skin lightening and detoxification. After consuming these, her blood pressure reportedly dropped drastically and her health declined between 10 pm and 11 pm, with her body shivering and eventually losing consciousness.

Decoding Lauren Sanchez's $55 million wedding look: Vintage Lace, 180 buttons and peak Dolce & Gabbana drama in Venice
Move over Bridgerton, because Lauren Sanchez just gave us a lesson in billionaire bridalcore, on a floating Italian island, no less. Yes, the world's most extraordinary wedding just went down, and it was not the cake, not the guests, not even Venice that stole the show. It was a gown. And it was a masterpiece. Inside the $55 million gown that stole Venice The media mogul turned bridal goddess said 'I do' to Jeff Bezos in a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda creation that basically screamed couture supremacy. Forget basic trains and subtle sparkles, Lauren's dress was a symphony of vintage drama, featuring a corseted waist, long sleeves and a turtleneck that oozed Victorian glamour but made it Bezos-billionaire chic. Crafted over 900 painstaking hours by D&G's artisan team, this was not just a wedding dress, it was a full-blown fashion opera. The white lace clung to Lauren's figure with eerie perfection, and the mermaid-style skirt swished dramatically down to the floor like it had been waiting for its moment on the global stage. 180 silk buttons and zero chill: Lauren's dress details Now let's talk drama. Her gown featured 180 hand-finished buttons made of silk chiffon. Not because anyone asked, but because drama demands detail. These buttons cascaded down the train like couture sprinkles, proving once and for all that the devil is in the Dolce-designed details. According to Harper's Bazaar, Lauren described the look as 'a piece of poetry,' thanking the fashion house for what she called sheer magic. And honestly? That's not an exaggeration, it's an understatement. Dolce & Gabbana's couture craftsmanship goes global This was not just a wedding; it was a press release for Dolce & Gabbana's global chokehold on couture. Jeff Bezos may have stuck to a safe black tux (also by D&G), but Lauren's ensemble screamed vintage elegance and custom creation. Lauren Sánchez is wearing a custom made BRIDAL ✨Dolce & Gabbana✨ dress for her wedding with Jeff Bezos, inspired by the look of Sophia Loren in a movie 'Houseboat' of 1958. 🪡 Before walking down the aisle, she was snapped wearing a retro white suit with a silk headscarf, a full Amalfi moment, complete with old-school glamour and modern money. A wedding that took over Venice (Literally) The wedding was held on San Giorgio Maggiore island, basically shutting down Venice for a three-day billionaire bonanza. A-list guests included Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump, and Orlando Bloom. And if that was not enough, Matteo Bocelli serenaded the couple with Can't Help Falling in Love, because of course. 🚨 Dolce & Gabbana dressed Lauren Sanchez! The Italian designers have created another masterpiece 🤍Long live the newlyweds! Word on the canal is that the couple had to move the venue last-minute from Scuola Grande della Misericordia due to protests. Yes, actual protests. Apparently not everyone is thrilled with a $55 million wedding in the middle of growing global inequality. But did that stop the extravaganza? Not one bit.
