Shreeji’s The Fusion Kitchen
If you're looking for a combination of cheesy, tangy, and spicy flavors, then you must visit this place located at Chamunda Circle in Borivali West. Their signature dish is a Mexican Sev Puri served with a twist of Cheese and Tandoori Mayo. The unique way they cook their dishes using a high-intensity blowtorch has gained them popularity among food bloggers and media, and they were one of the first to introduce this fire-based cooking style on the streets of Mumbai. During my visit there, I tried their fire Pani Puri and the much-hyped Veg Extravaganza, which were both delicious.
