Sounds fancy! My sister and I were told we were going to be contacted by the wedding planner about something, but we never heard from them. So maybe we’ll be the only ones out of sync with the other guests

Was trying to see if there was another place we could visit besides our old haunts, and was looking around the web, and came upon this list:
https://finelychopped.net/30-places-to-eat-like-a-local-in-mumbai/ (he’s a good blogger and his tastes match a lot of what we discuss on this group). Totally agree with him and most of the recommendations on that list match our favorites.
Some friends of ours have raved about Masque, which has a tasting menu for INR 6K (or so), we could not get reservations for the only dinner slot we had in Mumbai. Will be on my list when I come back in January
On on non-Mumbai recommendation, we went to Bangalore Oota: https://www.bengaluruootacompany.com which we loved loved loved. Would highly recommend it. new thread on this coming soon

@dlobo That’s a nice list from a Calcutta chap 
– j/k, he’s great.
Especially the Fort spots, which reminded me strongly of my dad in his office eating days, when he cycled through the gamut of Fort cafes at lunchtime.
The missing biryani, however, is noticeable (Lucky should definitely not be the only biryani on anyone’s list 
).
Next time you’re in B’lore, try KPK— same chef who opened Chatti in NYC. (Oota had a rift in ownership a few years back, with the original chef and co-founder sidelined after the concept took off — they’ve even removed her from their origin story , which is a bit skeevy given that she was a co-founder.)

Cool, thanks for the reco of KCK, will definitely go there If open either in Jan or Feb 
will report back
I didn’t notice KCK autocorrected to KPK (which is particularly hilarious given the meaning).
