CNNGo announces its 1st annual Mumbai "Best Eats Awards'
Selected by a panel of five experts from across the local dining scene, each of the 15 categories includes one definitive "best' selection and two to three honorable mentions. The complete list of Mumbai's "Best Eats Awards' is available at cnngo.com/besteats where quotes, comments and information on each restaurant are included.
The joys of simple meals celebrating fresh ingredients and various culinary traditions in Mumbai were recognized in several categories across all ends of spectrum. These ranged from the exclusive Konkan Café (winner in "Best Indian seafood' category), noted chef Anand Solomon's labor of love which serves food based on secret recipes gleaned from old ladies all across the Konkan coast to Friends Union Joshi Club (winner in Best Gujarati thali category) a home style eatery in a century old building which in the words of Best Eats judge Vikram Doctor is an "old-fashioned, simple eating place on the Kalbadevi road where you can still buy monthly meal tickets if you want."
"We are delighted to share with our global readers a list of Mumbai's Best Eats. A panel of experts voted for their favorite Mumbai meals and restaurants, ranging from specific street food stalls to gourmet dishes and regional specialties. From chaat to gold leaf chicken, from the best Gujarati thali, to crab, Parsi food and the ubiquitous vada pav, the winners of the CNNGo.com Mumbai Best Eats Awards define the city's palate and reflect the special ethnic diversity that makes Mumbai such a fun place to eat." says Sita Wadhwani, CNNGo.com Mumbai City Editor
