Shenoy’s is once again opening its doors, this time under the leadership of Chef Vikram Shenoy, the third generation of the Shenoy family. The journey of this restaurant began in the 1930s with Vyanktesh Shenoy, a 13-year-old who arrived in Mumbai and opened Shenoy’s Canteen, a modest eatery that quickly became a gathering place for locals to share meals and stories. The menu at Shenoy’s is a carefully curated journey through the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine, spotlighting both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Appetisers feature a range of regional creations, such as the Byadgi Kairi Paneer and Gojju Chicken on Malabari Discs, to bold and innovations like the Truffle Mushroom Cheddar Naan Bomb and Chicken Tikka Sev Puri. The non-vegetarian selection includes Pulled Rogan Josh Tacos, Stuffed Pomfret Fry and Mangalorean Sukkha Chicken Popcorn, among others. For the main course, vegetarian offerings like Lasooni Tari Palak, Amma’s Mushroom Masala and Pista Paneer Makhani take centre stage alongside non-vegetarian classics like Butter Chicken, Mutton Pepper and Alleppey Fish Curry.
Venue: Shenoy’s, Municipal Industrial Estate, Suite Number 12, HAINES Road, Freedom Fighter Vyankatesh Shenoy Chowk, Dainik Shivner Marg, Gandhinagar, Worli, Mumbai 400018
