8 Restaurants Putting Fusion Food Back on the Map

"“Masala y Maíz is more than just a restaurant. It’s a culinary manifesto, a place where history is told bite after bite,” say chefs Norma Listman and Saqib Keval, whose menu explores the culinary migrations between India, East Africa, and Mexico through years of researching family recipes. The name—maíz and masala—captures a sincere, original, and refined dialogue of ingredients and techniques, expressed in dishes like corn tacos filled with spiced vegetables, masala, and paneer; slow‑cooked pork belly with mango chutney; and two giant Veracruz prawns, grilled whole and incredibly tender, served with delicately pickled beets, a squeeze of lime, and Indian ghee infused with vanilla and chile morita." - The MICHELIN Guide
