Maharashtra's rich and diverse culinary history, for reasons unknown, is rarely given its due at city restaurants and eateries.

But now, a new revivalism is taking place and it has taken the culinary world by storm. This became evident in the past couple of years with the surfacing of a host of regional restaurants across Mumbai. And a few days back, while conversing with food writer and host Kunal Vijayakar, he confirms this as he tells us that the city is going through a happy transition with foodies increasingly tilting towards regional and heritage cuisines, detaching themselves from the over-hyped and hotchpotch variety of half-Mumbai-half-western khaana, which includes cheese dabeli and butter
chicken Maggi.
