Ultimate Guide: The Best Cheesecake Trail In Mumbai

From an unheard concept back in 2012 to now having over 100 places serving cheesecakes, Mumbai's cheesecake scene has evolved. The popularity of the New York Cheesecake and the classic Philadelphia Cheesecake led to the National Cheesecake Day celebration in the US. However, when this food trend hit India, Mumbai set out to give its ode to this elaborate dessert, giving mithai and chocolate-loving Mumbai, yet another reason to fall in love with dessert, but only with cheese this time. From creamy cheesecake waffles to cheesecake on a stick and soufflé cheesecakes, here's a list of places to go-to for the perfect cheesecake trail.
