10 RESTAURANTS. 10 REASONS TO BOOK A TABLE. Hold on to your forks, Mumbai!

Think culinary collaborations that dare to be different, menus that are anything but predictable, cocktails with serious attitude, dramatic décor makeovers and dining experiences that promise to tantalise well beyond the taste buds.
Here, in an exclusive interview with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Bahaar Dhawan Rohatgi and Nikhaar Dhawan, Founders of AARQE9, discuss AARQE9, their creative partnership, the art of mastering maximalism, the evolving meaning of luxury and why the most memorable homes are those that dare to be unapologetically individual.

In this exclusive conversation with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Australian MasterChef favourite Sarah Todd talks about her latest collaboration with House of Akina, the India that changed her, the flavours and memories that continue to influence her cooking, her journey beyond the MasterChef kitchen, and why she is increasingly drawn to food that tells a story.
