From Tables To Takeaway, Mumbai’s 8 Best Spots Serving Food And Drinks

Mumbai’s food scene is definitely having a moment, and there’s no shortage of new places, making a strong case for you to get ready and go out for that meal. From laid-back neighbourhood spaces to lively social spots designed for long lunches and late evenings, the city is serving many reasons for you to change your plans, and we are here to make a case for you. Consider this your cue to skip the tried-and-tested, make a reservation, and try some good food.

1. The Ultimate Dinner

If you’re in the mood for a fun cocktail, then head to the lanes of Juhu to find The Gated Community. The newest spot keeps things relaxed and un-fussy, making it the perfect new excuse to go out with your friends and discuss world issues over amazing cocktails, which are indeed a must-try. Go for their special Truffle Tenderloin Carpaccio with an ambience to die for. Have we convinced you enough?

2. Girl Lunch

A lunch with the ladies at Mumbai’s Gigi is all you need to fix all the problems in your life. The Bandra favourite has brought in its Japanese and European flavours in this mood-led space with everything from sushi to small plates to a banging pizza. Open from noon, it has a dedicated lunch menu for all your girlies, particularly those who love dressed-up afternoons that begin with “just lunch” but turn into hours at the table.

3. A Nostalgic Meal

Bored with everything mediocre? Head to the newest addition to Bastian Hospitality called Janu by Blondie, a vegetarian cafe in Juhu inspired by India’s nostalgic cafe culture with a contemporary twist. Head to the place to find dishes like Raj Kachori Chaat, Palak Patta Chaat with Khameeri, Apple Jalebi and Malaiyo, along with some pretty special drinks. It’s a must-try from our side!

4. The Comfort Zone

Goat Brew in Mumbai is a Pan-Asian place that deserves a chance to be on your to-do list this weekend. Go in for the tasty dim sums, noodles, and rice alongside some global favourites; it also has beautiful outdoor seating, which makes it particularly suited for relaxed evenings and stretches well past dinner.

5. Did You Hear About This?

Hotpot is definitely having its moment in Mumbai, and Donmai makes a strong case for turning this into a full dinner experience. You get to pick your broth, load up on your favourites and let the flavours do the talking. This is especially fun for a group who loves to customise their meal and spend an interactive time at the table in a calming ambience.

6. A Dine To Remember

Mumbai’s Luuma House is perfect for those nights when no one at the table can agree on what to eat. Their menu can comfortably jump from Italian, Asian, and Continental to Indian favourites. It is the ultimate crowd pleaser and the sort of place where one can directly order what they’re craving without thinking much.

7. Food For Every Mood

Stuck in because of the rain but are craving a fun meal? Well, find Onrique Mumbai’s yummy food on your doorstep now, and yes, we too are impressed. From freshly brewed coffee to breakfast to a bakery-style selection, order it all in, relax, and Netflix.

8. For The Beer Lovers

If your idea of a good evening starts with a cold beer, then head over to the Independence Brewing Company because its craft beer line-up moves across everything from Belgian-style brews to wheat beers to IPAs. The Belgian Tripel and its distinctive rice lager are something you will always remember, as the place also explores its brasserie-style food menu.

9. A Healthy Meal You’ll Love

Greenr in Mumbai is built around plant-forward eating and conscious consumption, while bringing together community and sustainability under one roof. The cafe serves you unprocessed plant-based food culture and has some interesting menu choices that surprise you and then comfort you at first bite, proving that healthy doesn’t have to mean sad salads.
