The year is coming to a close, and Bombay Borough is offering the perfect way to celebrate. Dubai’s popular modern Indian bar and eatery has unveiled its Festive Tasting Menu, a beautifully curated, multi-course journey that honors India’s vast culinary heritage through contemporary craft and global influences. Priced at AED 345, the experience is designed to feel nostalgic, elegantly modern, and deeply flavorful, perfectly appealing to diners seeking both authenticity and vibrant creativity.
The menu is structured like a rich travelogue, starting with small plates and chaats that recall India’s street-side ritual of festive snacking. These early creations nod to the tang and crunch of winter markets and traditional year-end gatherings. The Smalls and Grills section is particularly interesting, showcasing the eatery’s knack for nuance:
- Wild Mushroom Benne celebrates Karnataka’s famed benne dosa culture through an earthy, modern lens.
- Turkey Seekh references global festive roasts by applying the flavors to the structure of Indian kebabs.
- Recheado Prawns honors the iconic tangy chilli paste from Goa, a testament to its Portuguese-Chinese spice heritage.
The main courses bring deeper cultural resonance and warmth. The Saag Burrata with Makai Sourdough pays homage to the quintessential Punjab winter tradition of slow-cooked leafy greens and maize, reinterpreted with contemporary technique. Similarly, the Parsi Kheema Pie nods to the enduring legacy of Irani cafés, which were central to communal celebration. Coastal flavor is honored with the Kerala Fish Curry with Banana Leaf Coconut Rice, delivering a soulful taste of tamarind and coconut found in Kerala’s home kitchens.
Desserts provide a final playful touch of nostalgia. Diners can enjoy Kul Kul Churro, a reimagining of the traditional Goan Christmas sweet, or the BB Plum Cake, a tribute to the Anglo-Indian and Goan kitchens that shaped Indian Christmas baking traditions. This festive tasting is shaped by memory and meticulous craft, curated to bring the year to a meaningful, flavorful close, the Bombay Borough way.
The Festive Tasting Menu is available on December 24th and 25th from 12 noon to 12 midnight. Reservations are essential due to high demand.
