No chef in the city plays better jokes on diners than chef Rakesh Rana, whose vegetarian menu turns sambar into a gelato and couches bitter gourd in a delish ghee roast jacket. No matter how much you think you know your vegetables, you're bound to learn something new at Avatara where Rana turns classics on their head. Avatara Mumbai is the Indian counterpart of the one Michelin-starred vegetarian restaurant in Dubai.
