Head to these 5 places in Mumbai for a Thanksgiving dinner

From a classic roast turkey and stuffing to the more experimental pulled turkey tacos, a festive feast awaits

Harper's Bazaar India

Thanksgiving is a quintessential American tradition, where families (or friends!) get together to celebrate the day by counting their blessings, being grateful for the big and small things, and most importantly, by cooking up a lavish meal that sees at least three to five side dishes, multiple desserts, and the star of the show—the roast turkey. The festival, much like Christmas, has seen itself adapted by different cultures around the world, because why not—it’s all about gratitude, great food, and spending time with loved ones.
If you’re looking to celebrate Thanksgiving in the city, we’ve rounded up the restaurants that are offering special menus for the occasion. 

Slink and Bardot

Slink and Bardot, the chic restaurant on the fringes of Worli Village is hosting a special Thanksgiving dinner, so get ready to indulge with family and friends. From grazing tables with cheese, baby potatoes, and fresh fruits that come with crackers and bread, to the more elaborate spread with classics like scallion mashed potatoes, charred brussel sprouts, and roasted asparagus, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Non-vegetarians shouldn’t miss the true star of Thanksgiving—the roasted turkey. At the restaurant, you can pick a spiced cranberry sauce or gravy to go along with it. If you’re bringing your kiddos along, then they’ll love special dishes from the kids menu, like chicken tenders, baked mac and cheese, and spaghetti Bolognese. Round up your feast with your favourite dessert—from the butternut squash pie to the apple crumble pie, and sip on fun cocktails like the melon and mint sangria. 
When: November 24, 6:00 pm onwards.
