As December almost rolls out, restaurants across Mumbai and Goa are rolling out festive menus, Christmas feasts, and New Year’s Eve celebrations designed for long lunches, late nights, and everything in between. From classic holiday tables and neighbourhood favourites to luxury hotel spreads and end-of-year parties, this Christmas & New Year dining dining guide brings together the places worth booking before the year wraps up.
Ode
At Lower Parel, Ode’s Christmas Specials lean into winter comfort with a refined, ingredient-first approach. The menu moves from French onion soup and indulgent sandwiches to mains like turkey roulade and herb-baked baby snapper, finishing with sticky date pudding and chocolate mousse s’mores.
