While new restaurants keep opening up every month, old ones keep up by changing their menus. They either add new dishes or come up with a limited-time edition of a menu featuring dishes comprising seasonal ingredients. For example, around Holi and Eid, many restaurants offer thandai as a special drink or a kebab platter for Iftar.
Depending on the city, the cuisines they cater to, and the crowd, restaurants come up with new ideas to surprise their customers. Thus, this gives you a chance to explore your favourite spots during the holidays and treat loved ones with a lavish meal. Check out what is new on the menu of eateries you love to frequent in your city.
