Mumbai has the best selection of restaurants of any Indian city. You could
probably trace the history of the metropolis by trawling through the amazing variety of food
available: Parsi dhansak, Gujarati thalis, Muslim kebabs, Mangalorean seafood and, of course, Mumbai's famous speciality bhelpuri -a tasty snack of crisp noodles, puffed rice, spiced vegetables, crushed puri, chutney and chillies. The city's delicious seafood is safe to eat-even during the monsoon months.
