The 38 Essential Mumbai Restaurants

Crab masala at a coastal Maharashtrian restaurant, chaat at a street stall popular with Bollywood stars, chai at the city’s most popular Irani cafes, kebabs at a century-old stalwart, and more of Mumbai’s best meals

Share All sharing options for: The 38 Essential Mumbai Restaurants

Mumbai doesn’t have the same reputation as a food city compared to Delhi or Kolkata. But the city is full of great meals — you just need to know where to look. Around the Fort and Colaba area, the oldest part of Mumbai at the southern tip, you’ll find a bunch of the marquee, century-old establishments that have survived the test of time where you can dive into berry pulao, bun maska, and cups of Irani chai. For a more contemporary look at dining, head to Bandra, the cosmopolitan neighborhood in the central part of the city. To sample the best of Maharashtrian food, the cuisine of the state surrounding Mumbai, head to Dadar, where you can find khanavals (family-owned canteens that serve no-nonsense, homestyle food) and feast on sabudana vadas, thalipeeth, vada pav, and semolina-crusted fish.

It is impossible to talk about food in Mumbai without a mention of the wealth gap in the city. Over 10 million people live in the slums, while the city also hosts the country’s largest number of billionaires . The dining culture in the city reflects this disparity; while most restaurants are quick and affordable for the average Mumbaikar, over the past decade, the city has welcomed several restaurants catering to the super rich (which tend to have a shelf life of under two years, when they inevitably get replaced by trendier options). Social media has also brought in food trends from the West that are aspirational to Indians for whom foreign travel is not a possibility.

Most of the restaurants on this list have maintained their quality and fanbases for years, proof that the city respects consistency more than fads. Though you might have to spend a little effort to try a few of Mumbai’s best meals, India’s city of dreams rewards struggle.

Sumedh Natu is a director, producer, and writer who created the food show Menu Please on the Netflix India YouTube channel. He has lived in Mumbai for a decade and documented food all over India.

Mumbai has always lacked restaurants serving food from the northeastern state of Nagaland, home to several Indigenous tribes, famous for foraging for ingredients, smoking meats, and fermenting items to increase their shelf life. At Naga Belly, tribal cooking takes the front seat. The restaurant serves both traditional Naga staples and other dishes with Naga twists. Start with chicken wings cooked with axone (fermented soy bean paste) and gahlo (rice porridge with wild herbs). Once your stomach is decently warmed up, go for pork bhujia (pork first boiled and then fried to a crisp), smoked pork with anishi (taro leaves), and black rice. Clarify your spice tolerance before ordering, and make sure you call to reserve a table in the small space.

Suraj Lama Momos

Mumbai is not known for its momos, the Tibetan/Nepali dumplings that are a recent addition to India’s street food scene, but Suraj Lama might just change that. The restaurant’s story is a classic rags-to-riches Bollywood movie. What started off as a small cart is now a flourishing outlet with a healthy queue outside its door. The default order is always steamed chicken momos, but try one of the raunchier variations like chicken cheese pahadi tandoori for a more indulgent taste.

Nav Chaitanya

Nav Chaitanya is the latest addition to the Chaitanya family, after restaurants in the town of Malvan and the Dadar neighborhood of Mumbai. Chef Surekha Walke’s home recipes are the best way to experience traditional Malvani food, which represents the flavors of the southern Maharashtrian coastline. At one point, Walke even imported water from her hometown (about 10 hours from Mumbai), to make sure the restaurant matched the area’s original flavors. Order tisrya bhujane (clams stir fried with fresh coconut and shallots), crab masala, gaboli fry (fried fish roe), and kombdi vade (chicken curry with fried rice and millet bread) for the table. If you’re going by yourself, go for the Bombay duck rice plate. Be ready to queue up for at least an hour on Sundays.

Ram & Shyam Chaat

It’s really hard to rank chaat in a city like Mumbai, where arguments over the snacks can strain family ties. When in doubt, hit the Ram & Shyam stall, which may look tiny but has served every imaginable star from Bollywood. Order dahi puri (fried flour dumplings generously doused with yogurt and tamarind chutney), bhel (puffed rice mixed with sweet and spicy chutneys), and pani puri (dumplings filled with mashed potatoes and a mix of sweet and spicy water). The high price point compared to most other places in Mumbai reflects the quality of the stall. Eat a sukha (dry) puri to end your meal for good luck.

The story of the Sindhis is one of the several tragic stories of immigration caused by the partition of India. Once living in a part of the province of Sindh, now in Pakistan, a lot of migrants were forced to find homes in Mumbai. Sindhful may have an extensive menu of North Indian and Chinese dishes, but its heart lies in traditional Sindhi classics. Arbi tuk is made by deep-frying colocasia root (taro) coated with spices, while dal pakwan is a hearty preparation of lentils served with crispy bread. Sindhi meat preparations are slow-cooked and browned meticulously; case in point: the Sindhi mutton curry, an assured hit at the table.

Bombay Salad Company

Bombay Salad Co. has made eating healthy feel cool since it opened in 2014, a great achievement given all its neighbors are equally passionate about greasy indulgence. The salad bar, started by Karishma Dalal, was one of the first in the country. Everyone has a personal favorite on the menu by now, but you can also customize your own from a variety of raw vegetables and ingredients, most of which are local. The Red Frenchman and Protein Overload are no-brainers.

Izumi started as a living room-sized joint in the heart of Bandra before evolving into a sophisticated restaurant with a loyal crowd of regulars. Chef Nooresha Kably spent time in Tokyo and Yokohama honing her sushi and ramen skills before delighting patrons in Mumbai longing for Japanese food. Order the chutoro sashimi, tempura shrimp with yuzu mayo roll, and kimchi pork gyoza, and bully your dining companions into splitting a bowl of tonkotsu ramen. Reservations are recommended.

La Loca Maria

La Loca Maria has successfully imported the joy of tapas dining to Mumbai. Chef Manuel Olveira Seller’s relocated restaurant packs in flavors from several Spanish-speaking countries in simple and well-executed plates. The charred octopus, palm heart ceviche, and pork al pastor tacos are great places to start, while the lightly smoked salmon and sous vide chicken sit in stark contrast to the heavily seasoned proteins usually offered in India.

The second restaurant by Hunger Inc., the restaurant group owned by Sameer Seth and Yash Bhanage of Bombay Canteen fame, was a pleasant surprise to local diners, showcasing a menu of Goan and Portuguese food. It has since shown up on every reasonable list of the best restaurants in Mumbai. Chef Hussain Shahzad’s creative touch gleams all over O Pedro’s signatures. Choose between a mushroom or sea bass ceviche to start your meal. Follow that up with some roasted bone marrow, and end with a portion of the roasted pork ard maas (bone-in meat). If you’re going around Easter or Christmas, expect to be tempted by a whole roasted suckling pig, an experience that’s tough to find even in Goa anymore.

For any Thai cravings in Mumbai, look to chef Seefah Ketchaiyo, whose namesake restaurant (a joint venture with her husband, chef Karan Bane) is influenced by her stints cooking in both Thailand and China. Order the papaya salad, duck rice, Isan grilled pork, and Thai curry with crispy roti. The restaurant also does an array of Japanese food, in case you need some udon or sashimi. If chef Ketchaiyo’s in the kitchen, ask if she’s feeling nice enough to make your table a Thai omelette stuffed with chicken or pork, an off-menu speciality.

One of Mumbai’s rites of passage is identifying a dive bar that you can treat as a second home. Yacht (pronounced “ya-chet” by most locals in Bandra) is one of those places where you can expect to create several core memories. The alcohol is cheap, always ordered by the quarter (250 milliliters) or by the bottle. Go for the all-time hits of dive bar snacks to go with your drink: chicken lollipops, cauliflower or chicken manchurian, and mixed fried rice. The crowd is always eclectic, including old-timers, college kids, jaded screenwriters, and ranting lawyers. You don’t choose your dive bar; it chooses you.

Guru Kripa is a textbook restaurant designed to host large groups of joint families. There’s something for everyone: chaat, a full thali meal, sweets, milkshakes, and entrees. Order samosas, vegetable sandwiches topped with grated cheese, dal pakwan, and any dessert that piques your fancy (the jalebis and fruit custard are perfect starting points, in case you’re overwhelmed).

Cafe Irani Chaii

Discussions about Irani cafes in Mumbai are often dominated by legacy names like Britannia and Excelsior that have been around in the city for decades. Cafe Irani Chaii is a recent addition to the slowly dwindling list of these eccentric restaurants, yet it feels like the place has been around for at least a century. Warm up your stomach with a cup of chai, along with some brun maska (hard bread smothered with butter), keema fry (minced lamb fried with masalas), and mutton paya (lamb trotter) soup. Cheeky signs — like the one that reads, “No flirting with the cashier” — are all part of the decor.

Cafe Madras

Cafe Madras opens at 7 a.m. and is promptly packed by 7:01. It’s been a landmark in Matunga for over 80 years. Dive straight in with an order of ghee roast masala dosa topped with white butter. Split a portion of idlis (fermented rice flour cakes) dunked in ghee, chutney, and podi. Finish your meal with frothy filter coffee. Expect to share tables and leave as soon you’re done eating, unless you want to risk annoyed glares from the queue outside.

It’s hard to miss the mob of disgruntled Maharashtrians negotiating a table outside Aaswad, the most popular spot in Dadar to grab traditional, vegetarian Marathi food. Sharing tables with strangers is very common and hanging around after your meal is highly discouraged. Have varan bhaat (lightly sweetened, homestyle lentils with rice), thalipeeth (roasted, gluten-free, hand-stretched flatbreads) gleaming with butter, and shrikhand puri (fried bread with a dessert made of strained yogurt).

More in Maps

Prakash shakahari upahar kendra.

Prakash is where most Marathi grandmothers will come to eat food they’re already masters at making, which is a mark of how good it is. Not ordering a plate of sabudana vadas (tapioca pearl fritters) is sacrilege. Pair them with pithla bhakri (gram flour curry with jowar bread), kothimbir wadi (fried coriander cakes), and solkadhi (a sweet and spicy drink of coconut milk soured with kokum). Wash it all down with multiple cups of tea. Note: Curtness from the staff is actually a sign of loving hospitality at Prakash.

Ashok Vada Pav

There isn’t another dish that screams Mumbai as much as the vada pav: It’s available in every corner of the city, extremely cheap, and fast to eat. A mashed potato patty, hand-mixed with masalas, is drenched in gram flour batter and sandwiched in a pao, one of the breads the Portuguese introduced to India. A small stall outside of Kirti College does one of the best versions of the dish. There’s always a line, the proprietor is ever-grumpy, and the college supplies an inexhaustible number of students to make sure every last vada pav is consumed. Ask for extra tamarind chutney and chura (fried gram flour batter bits).

The Bombay Canteen

Over the past decade, the Bombay Canteen has been one of the most influential modern Indian restaurants in the country. The restaurant team visits remote parts of India for culinary research, incorporates modern techniques, and creates seasonal menus that concentrate on reimagined regional Indian specialities. While the restaurant is currently run by chef Hussain Shahzad (an alum of Eleven Madison Park), it has seen leadership from Thomas Zacharias and the late Floyd Cardoz, who both strongly shaped the culinary philosophy of the place. Enjoy classics like the eggs Kejriwal (a spicy fried egg dish born out of the Willingdon Sports Club), prawns ali-yolio, and seasonal specialities like sev puri topped with raw sea bass or pork belly thukpa. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.

Maaslli is a great place to try classic dishes of the Gaud Saraswat Brahmin, a Maharashtrian community that really knows their way around fish. Try the mori ghee roast (shark in a hot and sweet roasted masala paste), bangda tirfal curry (mackerel and teppal curry), and some prawn biryani. Ask for the GSB specials on the menu, and check out the kharvas (pudding the consistency of panna cotta made from colostrum) for dessert. Maaslli heralds a wave of change in family-friendly dining in Mumbai, as more restaurateurs focus within the cuisine of a single community rather than serving pan-Indian menus.

Martand Misal

Many Maharashtrians will concede the city isn’t the best place to get misal, the spicy, one-pot breakfast of moth beans served with bread and a ton of condiments. Martand does a solid version, guaranteed to make one break into sweats. Ignore the cheese and butter fry versions, and go for the classic special misal if it’s your first time. Note: If your spice tolerance is low, ordering buttermilk or solkadhi with the misal really helps battle the heat.

Masque Restaurant

Masque has been a polarizing place since it cemented itself in Mumbai’s fine dining landscape, disrupting contemporary Indian dining. Chef Varun Totlani currently runs the kitchen, taking over the reins after the departure of founding chef Prateek Sadhu. Reserve well in advance to sample the 10-course tasting menu, seasonal and heavy in its use of local ingredients. You can also get in touch for a seat at the Masque Lab, the restaurant research and development space, where diners who don’t mind a more experimental meal can taste dishes that are still works in progress.

Bombay Sweet Shop

Bombay Sweet Shop is like if Willy Wonka’s factory had a base in India. Crossing traditional Indian mithai confectionery with modern flavors, chef Girish Nayak has created marvels like a Kaapi Paak (a coffee-flavored version of Mysore’s iconic ghee and gram flour sweet), seasonal ghevar strawberry tarts, and fudge made with Parle-G biscuits. Nostalgia drifts like a theme through a ton of Bombay Sweet Shop creations. If the sugar rush is overwhelming, order a portion of spicy kachoris to give your taste buds a break.

The breakfast joint of choice of legendary author Saadat Hasan Manto, Sarvi is a Nagpada institution. Everyone visits to have seekh kebabs, but if you’re feeling adventurous, sample the offal dishes, especially the brain masala and tongue masala fry. It’s worth ordering a second portion of the caramel custard too. If you get friendly with the older waiters, they’ll cinematically narrate stories of Mumbai’s underworld and point out Manto’s favorite table.

Swati Snacks

Swati Snacks popularized homestyle, vegetarian, Gujarati snacks in Mumbai. Minakshi Jhaveri’s tiny restaurant has served the who’s who of the city and several foreign celebrities. Look for restaurant favorite suva panki, a pancake made with rice flour, steamed between banana leaves and flavored with dill. The fada khichdi is a homely preparation of broken wheat and lentils, guaranteed to heal your stomach. Chug a glass of sugar cane juice along with your food.

Noor Mohammadi

The nalli nihari — a dish Muslims traditionally enjoy after the first namaz (prayer) — at Noor Mohammadi is a rich, gelatinous, slow-cooked stew of buff (water buffalo) complete with chunks of bone marrow floating in the gravy; order a bowl with thick, buttery tandoori rotis and you’re set for dinner. The restaurant, currently owned by Raashid Abdul Hakim, is etched in pop culture in Mumbai. There’s a sketch by the legendary M.F. Hussain at the entrance, made specially in honor of his meals at the restaurant. There’s also a dish on the menu contributed by the Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt (the Chicken Sanju Baba). At one point, migrants without a fixed home would give the restaurant as their address for letters. After turning 100 years old in 2023, Noor Mohammadi solidified itself as a living part of the fabric of Mumbai’s history.

If you fancy a late-night haul of carbohydrates, park your car next to Bachelorrs and wait for an enthusiastic server to come running to your vehicle. Within a few minutes you’ll be feasting on grilled sandwiches oozing with melted cheese, thick shakes, and seasonal fruits with cream. If it’s summer, eat anything on the menu that includes mango. When it’s winter, change to strawberries.

Shree Thaker Bhojanalay

No one in Mumbai does a thali better than Shree Thaker Bhojanalay, the crown jewel of Gujarati hospitality in the city. The vegetarian meal features over 20 traditional items carefully arranged on the plate in a very specific order, including some Rajasthani delicacies. In winter, Thaker will serve undhiyu, a painstaking specialty of the city of Surat made overnight. There’s a giant photo wall behind the register, where you can spot culinary legends like David Chang, Mauro Colagreco, and Nigella Lawson, who have all been humbled by the restaurant’s thali. The servers will refill your plate endlessly despite any protests; the meal is over when they say it’s over.

Kyani and Company

A haven for college students for several decades, Kyani is still cheap, fast, and a go-to pick for a quick breakfast. Time freezes when you enter the restaurant, with its mirrored walls, wooden chairs, and aroma of freshly brewing tea. Get chicken puffs, bun maska (buttered bread), Irani chai, mawa cake, and a serving of eggs.

Britannia and Co.

No restaurant list in Mumbai is complete without a mention of Britannia, the Irani cafe that made mutton berry pulao a household name in the city. Made with tart zereshk berries (barberries) from Iran and tender pieces of lamb, the dish has remained consistent in a city that’s changing constantly. While it’s no longer an affordable order for the average Mumbaikar, eating a portion is a rite of passage. Pair with Pallonji’s soda and an order of dhansak (lentils stewed with lamb) for a nostalgic lunch in south Mumbai. For nearly a century, the restaurant was overseen by the beaming face of Boman Kohinoor, the third-generation owner and a city icon who saw the restaurant open in 1923 and died in 2019.

In the bylanes of Fort sits Deluxe, one of the few places you can enjoy a Kerala-style vegetarian sadhya lunch on a banana leaf. Both the avial (mixed vegetables cooked with coconut and yogurt) and the parippu (lentil curry) are worth second helpings. Order a plate of prawn fry and karimeen fry (pearlspot fish) as sides. Don’t be afraid to eat with your hands; it’s the only way to enjoy the meal.

Cafe Military

The city’s close-knit Iranian community, many descended from Zoroastrians who came to Mumbai after fleeing religious persecution, run a number of cafes that double as grocery stores. Military, one of the few Irani cafes where you can grab a chilled beer along with your food, has fed entire generations of families around Fort. Check the menu for the day’s specials, or go for the foolproof salli boti (sweet and tangy slow-cooked lamb curry) and lamb mince biryani. The brain fry will melt in your mouth.

The collection of dishes in the lagan nu bhonu feast at Jimmy Boy is a fantastic way to get acquainted with the best of Parsi wedding classics. Look for patrani machhi — a whole fish covered with a thick coconut and green chile chutney, steamed in banana leaves — as well as chicken farcha (Parsi-style fried chicken), mutton pulao, and dhansak (lentils stewed with lamb). The vegetarian variation includes a cashew vegetable curry. Make sure you try a bottle of the bright, almost suspiciously pink Pallonji’s soda.

Chef Alex Sanchez is no stranger to the restaurant scene in Mumbai. His run at the Table influenced how several peers would view dining in the city. His second restaurant, Americano, which he opened with partner Mallyeka Watsa, is often interpreted as an Italian restaurant, despite having influences from all over. Every small plate is chic, highlighting its ingredients. Try the sweetcorn ribs, duck ravioli, and shaved Brussels sprouts. Americano’s bar program would warrant a visit even without the food. Sample the Amaize Balls cocktail with tequila, peach jam, and salted corn, which lives up to its name.

A late night of drinking in Mumbai has to end with a customary roll at one of the city’s Mughlai or Punjabi restaurants. Ayub’s is an old-timer in the city, having served billionaires and students in equal measure. Get a plate of mutton baida roti (bread stuffed with eggs and minced lamb), paneer tikka roll (cottage cheese wrapped inside pillowy roomali roti), and a side plate of bhurji (hard-curd scrambled eggs tossed with masalas). Everything pairs well with a bottle of Coke.

The Table was years ahead of its time when it opened in Mumbai, introducing terms like “farm-to-table” and “cuisine agnostic” to a city that had never heard them before. Since the restaurant opened, the fine dining culture in the city has advanced by leaps and bounds. Owned by Gauri Devidayal and Jay Yousuf, the Table still has it. Standouts on the menu include the yellowfin tuna tataki, boneless chicken wings, and blackened Norwegian salmon.

Ling's Pavilion

Ling’s Pavilion, created by the owners of Mumbai’s iconic (now shut) Nanking, is one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in the city. The menu is vast, the servers have been around for decades, and Baba Ling, the owner of the establishment, will guide you through the specials with a smile. The steamed chicken wontons are a must order, as are the roast pork with shiitake mushrooms and the hakka noodles. The portions are large, so bring a big group of friends to attack the menu.

Bagdadi Restaurant

The owners of Bagdadi claim the restaurant is 125 years old. Once you’re inside, spend a couple of minutes soaking in the aesthetic, which — despite a recent renovation — has remained untouched. Ask for melt-in-your-mouth shami kebabs, mutton pulao, fried potatoes, and caramel custard. Keep a lookout for the daily specials, especially dabba gosht (mutton curry finished with egg batter and tempered with oil). End your meal with black tea, and stroll around the Gateway of India to digest.

The Cacao Mill By Subko

Ever since opening the first outlet in Bandra three years ago, Subko’s name has become synonymous with artisanal coffee and some of the best French patisserie in Mumbai. The latest opening, the Cacao Mill, is a haven for chocolate lovers. Sample the sea buckthorn almond and pistachio cherry cubes before making your way to the signature kouign amann and haleem quiche by chef Daniel Trulson (of Bread & Chocolate fame). You can also take a tour of the chocolate-making facilities if you’d like to find out how your treats are made.

These are the 12 best restaurants in Mumbai right now

By Condé Nast Traveller

Want a meal to remember? Come to Mumbai! With as many as 12 restaurants in the top 50, Mumbai beat all other cities at the Condé Nast Traveller’s Top Restaurant Awards 2023 . Put together, the Mumbai winners form an exciting palette of options: ingredient-forward menus, regional Indian fare served with modern twists, deliciously carby western cuisine, contemporary and classic Japanese fine-dining fare, and even a friendly neighbourhood sandwich bar! There were a few surprises as well, including several new restaurants making the list, like Veronica’s, which entered straight into the top 10! Here are the best restaurants in Mumbai right now, as per Top Restaurant Awards 2023:

#3 Masque, Mahalaxmi

The Masque team travels far and wide, from the forests of Kashmir to the shores of Goa, to bring back hyperlocal ingredients from across the country to their restaurant in Mahalaxmi, where these ingredients undergo seemingly magical transformations before they arrive at your table. Born and brought up in Mumbai, chef Varun Totlani started off at Masque as commis chef and rose the ranks to become head chef in 2022. Along with founder and entrepreneur Aditi Dugar, the restaurant’s 10-course seasonal chef’s tasting menus marry tradition and innovation, transforming homegrown produce into fine-dining dishes. So, a Lonavala inspired chocolate fudge gets topped with kachampuli ice cream, Coorg’s pandi curry is made with jackfruit sausage, and the winter favourite Gujarati snack ponkh bhel is zhuzhed up with Goan seaweed. Instagram ; Masque, Unit G3, Shree Laxmi Woollen Mills, Shakti Mills Lane, Off Dr Elijah Moses Road, Mahalakshmi, Mumbai

#6 The Bombay Canteen, Lower Parel

Known as one of the best restaurants in Mumbai for a while now, The Bombay Canteen has established itself as one of the most exciting modern Indian dining experiences in the country. Chef Hussain Shahzad (also executive chef of O Pedro and Veronica’s by Hunger Inc Hospitality) is an alumnus of Eleven Madison Park in New York whose culinary philosophy is driven by innovation and local traditions. The menu at The Bombay Canteen changes seasonally, but favourites include the restaurant’s signature eggs Kejriwal, ghee roast chicken seekh and chilled seabass “sev puri”. Its playful approach to food and affinity for Mumbai extends to its bar menu, with its 5th Canteen Cocktail Book featuring drinks like the tequila-based Waiting List and the citrusy Curb Side. Instagram ; The Bombay Canteen, Unit-1, Process House, S.B. Road, Kamala Mills, Near Radio Mirchi Office Lower, Parel, Mumbai

#7 O Pedro, BKC

At O Pedro, the drinks and food aim to transport you from the busy, commercial BKC to the sunny, tropical life in Goa. The energetic bar mixes up signature concoctions like the Pedro’s G&T, the Kokum Stings featuring kokum infused rum and the Vasco Sour with pisco, triple sec and Goan toddy. Bright colours, quirky sayings on the walls and cheery servers are as much a part of the O Pedro experience as the lipsmacking food, from the coconut-ey crab kismoor and signature prawn balchao to the fluffy poees with choriz butter and creamy, crunchy mushroom ceviche. The flakey pastel de nata (Portuguese egg custard tarts) and Aunty Li’s serradura hark back to Goa’s rich Portuguese influences and are not to be missed.

#8 Veronica’s, Bandra

Condé Nast Traveller

Jahnavi Bhatt

The latest offering from Hunger Inc Hospitality, Veronica’s opened earlier this year to snaking queues in the bylanes of Bandra’s Ranwar Village. The all-day sandwich shop and deli has a tight menu that focuses on honest, good quality sandwiches, like the Taming The (Mu)Shroom Melt and the Avo Snob made with house-made Ciabatta, fresh pesto and burrata. The meat-based sandwiches like the generously smoked beef loaded Pass the Pastrami and Nashville-style hot fried chicken sandwich the Big Floyd are some of the restaurant’s bestsellers. Wash down the carbs with a glass of wine, or Vietnamese iced coffee. The restaurant is among the best restaurants in Mumbai, and top 10 India’s best restaurants, within just a year of its opening—a testament to its quality breads, meats, fresh ingredients and easy atmosphere that pulls in diners across age groups. Instagram ; Veronica’s, Waroda Rd, Ranwar, Bandra West, Mumbai

#9 Americano, Kala Ghoda

Since its hotly anticipated debut in March 2019, Americano has been a destination for creative cuisine and expertly crafted cocktails. Located in the arts precinct of Kala Ghoda , Mumbai, the restaurant features 20-ft ceilings and fluted glass windows, with elegant and understated décor. Head chef Alex Sanchez has trained under the likes of Daniel Humm of Eleven Madison Park, New York, and was also behind the launch of The Table and Magazine Street Kitchen. Americano, which Sanchez launched with his partner Mallyeka Watsa, is known for its pizzas topped with braised mushrooms, smoky bacon and fennel sausage, corn ribs, and creamy handmade pastas. The Americano tiramisu has a separate fanbase. Spongy and chilled, with a hidden layer of tempered chocolate, the tiramisu is scooped out and served fresh right at the table. Instagram ; Americano, 121/123 Radha Bhavan, Nagindas Master Road, Kala Ghoda, Fort, Mumbai

#10 Izumi, Bandra

The 1,500sqft Izumi in Bandra manages to squeeze in 54 seats, a live sushi bar and what is often considered the best ramen in the country, without feeling cramped or crowded. Izumi started off as a delivery business led by head chef and co-owner Nooresha Kably, who works with bold ingredients and intense flavours with an impressive balance. Their innovative takes on dishes like the Hamachi Truffle Ponzu with Wasabi Jelly, Sashimi Salad, and the Shoyu Chintan Vegetarian Ramen, remain their biggest draws even today, five years after they opened. Instagram ; Izumi, Ground Floor, Sunrise Cooperative Society, Road Number 24, Khar West, Mumbai

#13 Seefah Restaurant, Bandra

On the ever-crowded and bustling Hill Road in Bandra, Seefah is a haven for lovers of spice, sauce, and big flavours. A mix of Thai and Japanese cuisines, the menu features dishes like tangy raw papaya salad, crispy pork, wasabi prawns and Kao Phad Ka Prow. Cocktails include a nori-infused gin, vodka with a Thai tea foam, and yuzu Umeshu. Chefs and co-owners Seefah Ketchaiyo and Karan Bane collectively bring about 30 years of restaurant kitchen experience to the table, with their zingy ode to the street eats of Bangkok and Tokyo. Instagram ; Seefah Restaurant, 2 Floor, Khan House, Hill Rd, above McDonald's, Bandra West, Mumbai

#14 The Table, Colaba

In a sea of Mumbai restaurants serving globally-inspired menus, The Table stands out for its flavour, but also for its consistent farm-to-table approach for over a decade. A lot of the restaurant’s produce comes from The Table Farm a ferry ride away in Alibaug , while the fish and meat is sourced fresh in the city. The menu, which largely features shareable plates, takes inspiration from different corners of the world, from Thailand and Japan to France and the Americas. Dig into sophisticated plates—like their signature ginger glazed boneless chicken wings, the aptly named Sobo Salad with Hass avocado and greens and succulent lamb ragout with pappardelle pasta—in an easy, casual fine-dining setting, all at a stellar location right behind the iconic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Colaba, Mumbai. Instagram ; The Table, Kalapesi Trust Building, Ground Floor, opposite Dhanraj Mahal, Apollo Bandar, Colaba, Mumbai.

#27 La Loca Maria, Bandra

La Loca Maria is an ode to chef Manuel Olveira’s mother Maria, who ignited his passion for cooking at a young age (the restaurant’s name translates to “the crazy Maria”). Olveira was born in Toledo, Spain, where he grew up cooking at his family-owned restaurant. After stints at Michelin-starred restaurants in Madrid, as well as restaurants in Dubai and Mumbai, Olveira opened La Loca Maria, a modern Spanish cuisine restaurant, with his Indian wife Pratima Tuljapurkar in Mumbai. Here, robust and vibrant flavours define every dish, with tapas like the Gambas al Ajillo featuring smoky prawns on a bed of fragrant garlic infused oil, fresh pumpkin and black bean tacos, crunchy patatas bravas and juicy, succulent Albondigas or lamb meatballs. And, of course, there’s wine and sangrias, craft cocktails, tequila, and mezcal to go with it. Instagram ; La Loca Maria, Fatima villa, 29th Rd, Bandra West, Mumbai

#32 Wasabi by Morimoto - The Taj Mahal Palace, Colaba

Wasabi by Morimoto at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai was ‘Iron Chef’ and James Beard Foundation Award winner Masaharu Morimoto ’s second-ever launch under his brand name. From its location in the iconic The Taj Mahal Palace, diners can enjoy the signature white fish carpaccio, sushi, black cod miso and Wasabi crème brulee with views of the Gateway of India and the Arabian Sea beyond. The ingredients are flown in from Japan, the décor is inspired by a typical Japanese home and the bar menu features an impressive selection of saké, Japanese whisky and plum wine. Instagram ; Wasabi By Morimoto, The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai, Apollo Bandar, Colaba, Mumbai

#37 Noon, BKC

Chef Vanika Choudhary has been at the forefront of the farm-to-table movement in India since she founded Sequel in 2016. With Noon , Choudhary has been quietly but consistently carrying the torch forward, with ferments, foraged ingredients and regional flavours. The 10 course Chef’s Tasting menu evolves with the changing seasons and the ingredients come from Maharashtra, Ladakh and Jammu & Kashmir. This year, Noon has had a slew of exciting international collaborations, with restaurants like Cenci in Tokyo, Paradise Soho, The Herball, Como Uma Paro and more. Instagram ; Noon, One BKC, Ground Floor, Tower B, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai

#38 Ekaa, Kala Ghoda

Chef Niyati Rao has been making big waves ever since Ekaa was launched in Mumbai’s Fort in 2021. The cuisine-agnostic restaurant has a razor sharp focus on local ingredients, with seasonal offerings like oysters served with pickled Sargassum seaweed, roasted Koji ice cream with pickled blueberries, sea urchin with chilled cape gooseberry juice and trout roe with Manipuri rice and kombucha gel. The minimalist design of the restaurant showcases the heritage of the original 1890-built structure of Kitab Mahal within which it is housed. Along with Rao, the restaurant is helmed by cofounder Sagar Neve and backed by Nisa Experience—the team behind the neighbouring KMC*.

Best restaurants in Mumbai

1.  The Table

This romantic, bi-level, upscale eatery is a pioneer of Mumbai’s farm-to-table revolution, adopting international culinary trends and applying them to a local context. It serves fresh produce from its own farm in Alibaug. Draped with wispy curtains stretched across the walls, floor-to-ceiling windows and named after the 20-foot long Burma teak community dining table near its bar, The Table is an absolute go-to spot if you’re craving a magnificently special meal.

Price: Pricey

2.  Shree Thaker Bhojanalay

One of Mumbai’s best kept secrets, this vegetarian Gujarati eatery offers an “eat until you drop” experience. To sample the very best, opt for the thaali : a round platter that includes six rotis, six curries, two papad variants, buttermilk, curd,  three kinds of desserts, chaat, vegetable roll and more.

Price: Bargain

3.  Wasabi by Morimoto

In addition to delectable food, this award-winning traditional Japanese restaurant offers the best views in town of the Gateway of India. The fiery red interiors complete with installations depicting cherry blossoms and traditional wooden Japanese joinery walls will transport you to Japan, especially when paired with the ingredients flown in from Tokyo weekly and the multicultural cooking techniques used by the staff. Make sure to try the rare sakes. Bonus points: the restaurant also serves vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan meals.

4.  The Bombay Canteen

In the historic setting of an old colonial bungalow, the Bombay Canteen boasts its own important history, too. By providing modern twists on Indian regional dishes, TBC changed the way an entire city eats. It’s also simply a lovely place to have a munch – ideally for having a pleasant time with friends or family.

Price: Average

5.  Britannia & Co.

Located in the genteel precinct of Mumbai’s Ballard Estate, Britannia & Co. is a vintage, heritage eatery and perhaps one of the oldest symbols of the locally dying Parsi cuisine. Opened in the 19th century by Zoroastrians from Iran, Britannia & Co. is a magnificent time capsule of Mumbai’s past. Try the berry pulao with some dhansak along with the creme caramel, the most famous dish here.

6.  The Clearing House

The Clearing House is found in a relatively quiet area, rendering the restaurant an oasis in the middle of Mumbai’s maddening but historic quarters. The eatery is split into two sections: a sunlit foyer that is ideal for Sunday brunch and a more sombre chamber for the evenings. You’ll eat contemporary western cuisine with an eastern treatment: think a touch of kimchi, a sprinkle of edamame or teriyaki sauce in your dishes.

7.  O Pedro

Head to this slick restaurant and bar to experience authentic Goan cuisine in just as genuine a setting. Sample the Portuguese-inspired dish poee (house-baked sourdough) and wash it down with one of the many signature cocktails—we’re partial to the Pedro G&T. Sit back, relax and settle into a beach-like state of mind without having to take a trip to the neighbouring state.

8.  Bastian

An Instagram worthy two-floor restaurant boasting a nautical theme is the pet project of the very savvy chef Kelvin Cheung. Trivia fact: the eatery gets its name from the all-knowing crab Sebastian of Disney’s Little Mermaid fame. An Asian-inspired alternative spot to Mumbai’s run of the mill seafood restaurants, Bastian is a favourite of the city’s hipsters and Bollywood A-listers. Try the famous lobster roll, butter-poached lobster and the black-pepper crab. You might want to consider getting your hands dirty with the snapper carpaccio, made with high-quality seasonal ingredients sourced locally.

9.  Hakkasan

Dim sum might not be the first thing you think about when you think of Mumbai’s foodie scene, but believe us – it most certainly should. Nowhere in the city does dim sum quite like Hakkasan, which’ll let you either have a five-course lunch with fruit drink or choose from the à la carte menu. If it’s down to use, we go for the chicken shumai, grilled shanghai and edamame dumplings, then wash it down with a cup of tea and the dark choccie mousse.

10.  Cafe Madras

Found in Kings Circle, this is Mumbai’s most cherished South Indian restaurant. If you’re bored of all the fine dining and expensive food joints around town, the unassuming interiors at Cafe Madras will surely please you. Beware, though: the eatery is perpetually crowded with college students, senior citizens and young workers. May we suggest striking a conversation with one of them while digging into peppery rasam, airy medu wadas, crunchy dosas and a cup of coffee?

Still hungry?

The best street food in Mumbai

Mumbai’s food scene—made up of a mix of high-end restaurants, cheap eats, street food and more—is shaped by a fusion of cultures, including an indigenous fishing community and the secrets from the home kitchens of century-old migrants (the Muslim sultans! Jews! Portuguese and British colonialists!).

Mumbai Munchies: Best Street Food in Mumbai to Try

Mumbai, the City of Dreams, is not just known for its towers and bustling streets but also for its unparalleled street food culture.

The vibrant streets of Mumbai come alive with the tantalizing aromas of spices, the sizzle of grills, and the rhythmic sounds of vendors dishing out delectable treats.

In this blog, we embark on a gastronomic journey to explore the best street food in Mumbai, where every bite tells a story of the city’s diverse culinary heritage.

In the heart of Mumbai, where the sea breeze carries the city’s rhythm and the chaotic symphony of life plays out on its vibrant streets, a culinary world is as diverse and dynamic as the city itself.

Mumbai, often called the City of Dreams, is equally celebrated for its towering skyscrapers and legendary street food scene.

In this blog, we invite you to embark on a compelling journey through the bustling streets of Mumbai as we unravel the city’s essence through its iconic street food – a gastronomic adventure that we affectionately call “Mumbai Munchies.”

As the sun places over the Arabian Sea and the city’s lights begin to flicker, the streets come alive with the irresistible aromas of spices, grills, and the unmistakable sizzle of street-side vendors crafting delectable treats.

Mumbai’s street food is not just sustenance; it’s a cultural phenomenon that captures the spirit of the city’s relentless pace, diverse culinary heritage, and the indomitable spirit of its people.

In this exploration of Mumbai Munchies, we delve into the heart of the city’s street food culture, uncovering the culinary treasures that have become an intrinsic part of Mumbai’s identity.

From the iconic Vada Pav to the savoury and spicy delights of Pav Bhaji, every dish tells a story – a narrative of flavours that reflect the city’s vibrant history, its cultural melting pot, and the seamless blend of tradition and innovation.

Walk at Crowded markets and beachside stalls to discover the Best Street Food in Mumbai.

Let each bite be a passport to a different facet of this metropolis – a journey that transcends the mundane and transforms into a celebration of flavours, textures, and the unbridled joy that only Mumbai’s street food can provide.

Welcome to Mumbai Munchies, where every morsel is a testament to the city’s indelible culinary legacy.

1. Vada Pav – The Mumbai Burger

In the bustling streets of Mumbai, where the cacophony of honking horns and the chatter of hurried pedestrians create a symphony of urban life, a humble yet iconic street food has become synonymous with the city’s culinary identity – Vada Pav.

Affectionately known as the “Mumbai Burger,” this delectable snack is more than just a quick bite; it’s a cultural phenomenon, a culinary journey that encapsulates the city’s spirit in every flavorful morsel.

At first glance, Vada Pav seems unassuming – a simple assembly of a spiced potato cake encased in a soft pav (bread roll) and accompanied by chutneys.

However, delve deeper, and you uncover a narrative that intertwines history, affordability, and the unique flavours that define Mumbai’s street food culture.

The heart of Vada Pav lies in its core component – the vada. A spiced potato mixture seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, and other aromatic spices is shaped into a round patty.

This concoction is then coated in a gram flour batter and deep-fried to golden perfection, creating a crisp that gives way to a silky, flavorful interior.

The vada becomes a canvas where Mumbai’s diverse culinary influences converge, resulting in a savoury delight that resonates with locals and visitors.

Now, let’s turn our attention to the pav, the vessel that cradles this culinary masterpiece. Soft and slightly sweet, the pav is reminiscent of the Portuguese bread that made its way to the shores of Mumbai through centuries of trade and cultural exchange.

The merging of indigenous flavours with foreign influences is a recurring theme in Mumbai’s culinary tapestry, and Vada Pav exemplifies this fusion.

As the years passed, Vada Pav evolved from a quick lunch option for the working class to an integral part of Mumbai’s street food culture.

It became a beloved snack for students, office-goers, and tourists alike. The sight of street vendors deftly assembling Vada Pav, the sizzle of vadas in hot oil, and the aroma of chutneys wafting through the air became quintessential experiences for anyone navigating the streets of Mumbai.

The nickname “Mumbai Burger” is not just a playful moniker; it’s a recognition of the parallels between the global fascination with burgers and the local adoration for Vada Pav.

Both are handheld, flavorful, and emblematic of a city’s culinary ethos. Just as a burger encapsulates the essence of American fast food, Vada Pav embodies the spirit of Mumbai’s fast-paced, diverse, and inclusive culinary landscape.

Beyond its culinary prowess, Vada Pav is a cultural equalizer, a unifying force that brings people from all walks of life to the same street-side counters.

It’s a snack that sparks conversations, breaks barriers, and fosters a sense of community among those who gather around the ubiquitous red chutney-drenched stalls.

In a city where time is a precious commodity, and every meal is a hurried affair, Vada Pav stands as a culinary companion – quick, satisfying, and deeply rooted in the ethos of Mumbai.

It’s a snack that reflects the resilience and resourcefulness of a city that finds joy in life’s simple pleasures.

So, the next time you sink your teeth into a Vada Pav on the crowded streets of Mumbai, remember that you’re not just tasting a snack; you’re partaking in a cultural legacy, savouring the Mumbai Burger that has woven itself into the fabric of the city’s vibrant culinary narrative.

7 Must Visit Street Food Places in Mumbai

It's true when they say that a city's pulse can only be felt on its streets and while all Indian cities are bustling, Mumbai 's pulse is racing (literally). Like swarms of bees out on a mission, there's always a reason to be out and about scouring flea markets, enjoying the sea view, or just chilling with friends. But this picture of Mumbai's streets seems incomplete, almost colourless without the popular street food stalls at road junctions or narrow lanes that add the much needed masala in our lives. Imagine a rainy day in college without the cutting chai and oh-god-so-good vada pav or a hectic day of street shopping without quick on-the-go snacks like some lip-smacking pav bhaji . Unimaginable, isn't it? Street food in Mumbai is almost like the city's identity.A bhel puri of cultures and refreshingly diverse influences - coastal to Irani, South Indian to Punjabi and of course Maharashtrian - street food in Mumbai offers a unique potpourri of flavours that is incredibly satisfying.While there are way too many contenders for this list, here's presenting 7 that top our favourite list -

2. Kebabs @Sarvi

Aaswad bagged the award for The Worlds Tastiest Vegetarian Dish for its Misal Pav at the global Foodie Hub Awards held in London just last month. What more need be said about this mouth-watering Maharashtrian breakfast dish? This dish is not merely a delight for your taste buds but is also a complete healthy meal made of mixed beans sprouts, spices, chopped onions and tomatoes. Home-made spices and the magic of crunchy farsan (the munchies of Maharashtrian cuisine made of gram flour) have made Aaswads misal irresistable for the last 30 years.

The cold seawater lapping at your feet, the setting sun and soothing breeze, a leisurely walk along Chowpathy beach with your loved ones while munching on some bhel puri is what Mumbaikars love to do. A type of chaat made with puffed rice, exotic spices, onions and tangy chutneys, bhel puri has never failed to mesmerise the young and old alike.

Chowpatty Beach; Meal for two: Rs. 80

6. Falooda @Badshah

One thing we can definitely be thankful to the Mughal kings is for introducing us to falooda. A modern twist to Faloodeh, which is a Persian dessert, falooda is made of vermicelli, rose syrup and sabza seeds in creamy, thick milk. A lot of its variants also have kulfi , making it the rapturous kulfi-falooda. There isn't one falooda -fan in Mumbai who wouldn't vouch for the creamy treat at Badshah in Crawford Street. With over 100 years of unrelenting service to its loyal customers, Badshah has become a landmark in itself. If you have a sweet tooth that doesn't let you escape the allure of this refreshing dessert, you have to try the Badshahi and Royal Falooda at this iconic eatery.

The pani puri here is claimed by many to be the best they've ever had. With their crunchy puri (round, hollow, fried crisps), mouth-watering pani (flavoured water with tamarind chutney, chilli and chaat masala) and onion-potato stuffing, this claim is undeniably well-deserved.

Please note: the pani is made with mineral water, which makes it a hit with the health conscious lot. Elco has been around for over 40 years and is still going strong with its tempting delights.

Mumbai is the best metropolitan city for foodies. If you love to try different Indian cuisines in one city, then Mumbai is an ideal destination for your food cravings. Mumbai is home to India’s famous restaurants that serve traditional Maharashtrian cuisines and modern dishes.

If you are coming to Mumbai to visit its attractions , don’t forget to check out the best food places here. Let’s walk you through the must-try iconic Indian food places in Mumbai.

We all love the Indian regional cuisines. Bombay Canteen is an ideal restaurant for foodies who are on the lookout for delicious Indian cuisine with a unique twist. Established in 2015, it didn’t take Bombay Canteen a long time to establish itself as the Mumbai’s popular restaurant.

Bombay Canteen is the best café in Mumbai in the morning and the pleasant night bar at night hours. Overall, it is the one-stop platform for foodie travelers.

Serving the Indians since 1956, Gaylord happens to the oldest and most wonderful food place in Mumbai. Gaylord was the first Indian food place to have the open-air bakery. Whether you love Indian dishes or continental cuisine, Gaylord is the perfect restaurant to satisfy your food cravings. The restaurant is divided into two sections i.e. a beautiful open garden space (looks like a patio) and air-conditioned indoors.

The menu of the restaurant was recreated in 2016, but the main cuisines of the restaurant still involve the North Indian cuisines including Lasooni Fish Tikka, Rogan Josh, Chicken, and more.

If you are planning to ditch your keto-diet and enjoy the mouth-watering street food in Mumbai , head over to Marven’s Grant Road. The specialties of the food places in this area are the cutting Chai, Vada Pav, Kathi Roll, and delicious desserts. You can also collect some baked food for your family from this street.

Located at the Mahatma Gandhi Road, Khyber is known for the traditional Northwest dishes. Khyber was constructed and opened in 1958; however, the restaurant was incinerated and redesigned in 1985. The interiors of the restaurant are decorated with beautiful paintings designed by the world’s renowned painters. Furthermore, the restaurant is adorned with a marble staircase that takes the guests to the upper floors.

In addition to the Bollywood stars, the restaurant has received international celebrities. The menu is suitable for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. The popular dish of Khyber is Tandoori Lamb cuisine. For vegetarians, Maa ki Daal and Malai Kofta will make your day.

If you are in a mood of strolling through the Mumbai food streets, then Noor Mohmaddi on Mohd. Ali Road is the first street you should check out. Though the street is full of delicious white Biryani and Kebabs in all seasons, Ramadan is the best time to visit Noor Mohmaddi.

That is when you can spot the celebrities roaming around the street and savoring the delicious North Indian cuisines. The food served here is way too delicious to notice something else other than the well-decorated food platter with so many cuisines and flavors.
