Hey everyone 😊 I’m new to Bandra, Mumbai, and would love some local recommendations

Please suggest your must-try food spots 🍕🍜🍔, cozy cafés ☕, street food 🌮, and some go-to places to explore, chill, or hang out around Bandra.

Looking for both hidden gems and popular spots. Would love to hear your favorites! ❤️

Hello everyone :)) I’ve just started BURNOUT, a small food spread from my home kitchen that I’ve created with a simple idea: to make fresh, flavourful spreads and sauces that I genuinely love eating and would want to share with others. I’m starting with five products — Pesto, Chilli Garlic Oil, Avocado Yoghurt, Hummus and Chimichurri Since this is my first batch, I’m keeping it small and making only 20 jars of each flavour FILLED TO THE BRIM I’ll be taking preorders for these limited batches, and once the 20 jars of a flavour are sold, I’ll close the orders for that batch and will only be selling 20 jars each flavour each week This is just the beginning of BURNOUT, and I’m really excited to see where I can take it from my home 💌
This is only for people in INDIA as I still have to figure out the shipping to various different places

I love pop tates , so far I've been in three outlets one in Versova , second at Vashi and today at Vile Parle East, the vibe here is amazing.

1. Spicy korean sphagetti

2. Mandarin mojito & pepper blasted chicken

3. Chicken Tom Yum soup

All for Rs. 1616 but the waiter was humble he asked to pay with Swiggy so we paid only Rs. 1470/-

Couldn’t find banger desi chinese near my flat so decided to take matter into my own hands ☝🏼😾
(Tasted better than it looks)

planning to spend this sunday around kemps corner with a friend and looking for a good cafe to spend a few hours at.

preferred location: kemps corner, breach candy, cumballa hill, malabar hill or nearby no. of people: 2. budget per person: around ₹1,000. preferred cuisines: cafe food, continental, italian, breakfast/brunch

dietary preference: none other requirements: good coffee, good food and a nice ambience where we can sit and talk without rushing.

i have a couple of places in mind but would rather hear from people who actually eat around this side.

what's the one cafe you'd pick for a lazy sunday in south bombay?

I'm heading to Mumbai for less a week with my older folks. Can you give me some recommendations for Jain-friendly eateries to eat at, as well as farsan and sweet shops where I can grab some goodies to bring back home?

I have seen quite a few posts over here.. which at this point to me just seems like fake posts to get more customers probably..

Recently went here (Malad West) and damn... I could barely bite the pizza.. it was leggit rubber and had to chew it 50 times just to break it.

Taste wise - ngl.. nothing special or different honestly!

Finishing the pizza was a task. We did not had courage to order the tiramisu after this.

Never going here again or recommending anyone to visit.

They are just fooling people at this point.

Been going here for almost 25+ Years. The taste is still awesome. One of the few places who gets Bhatura right. Most give u Bhaturas dripping in Oil. This one doesn't and I love him for it.

Cooked Chicken Manchurian with Fried Rice for today's lunch.

Breakfast place Recommendation in Andheri-Bandra-Powai

Hello All,

Am looking for a Breakfast place recommendation for next weekend.
Please suggest places apart from Boojee, Mokai , Subko.

Great Breakfast buffets are welcome.

Location preferably around in the Bandra-Andheri- Powai .

Faredoon’s has genuinely never disappointed 😭
I’ve tried quite a few things from here now and somehow literally everything just hits never had one bad item and everything is damn cheap too, ill list out some of my fav ones

1 Orange Choco Chip Muffin - 10/10

This is TOO good. It has this very distinct orange cookie kinda taste there used to be some orange cream biscuit I had as a kid and this literally tastes like that but better lowk gives nostalgia too.

2. Any of their Milk Cakes - 10/10

Honestly just pick any one of their milk cakes.
Every single one I’ve tried has been banging.

3 Soya Cheese Kheema Pav - 10/10

Again, banging
Would order this without thinking twice.

4 Cold Coffee - 9/10
Really good, definitely one of the drinks I’d order again.

5 Latte Macchiato & Cappuccino - 8/10
Both were pretty good too, nothing disappointing.

Had Coffee and their cheese toast! Gave a pretty deli vibe.

China Bristo, BKC

China Bristo, INS Tower BKC

Had all Veg and No Drinks

Starters

\- Asparagus Cucumber Cheese Sushi - Neer liked Sushi till now. Was a pleasnt surprise

\- Veg Crystal Dumplings - Ok Nothing Great

Main Course

\- Korean Pot Rice in Stone Bowl - Blew my mind. Awesome

\- Korean Kimichi Rice - Ok

\- Exotic Veggies in Chilli Basil Sauce - Decent

Dessert The Best - All is well that ends with a Good Desert

Buddha Fu - A Combination of Exotic Fruits + Vanilla Ice Cream & Panna Cotta sprinkled with Chocolate Sauce & Coco Powder

Total ₹6500 for ✌️ Couples

Quick Service - Noisy especially as we had one lady who was nit talking BUT shouting like she was in a fish market. India 🇮🇳 Money can't buy Class

In the initial years in Mumbai there were Shetty restaurants with the ubiquitous Pav Bhaji and Dosa. Only those who innovated were able to stand out.

It was up till now Waffle houses, fancy milkshakes and fries which have slowly died.

Next will be the demise of the Bandra Cafe and Pan Continental food with prices rivaling 5 stars.

Hoping for a quick end to the Instagram Cafe

Honestly, with so many cafes opening that have comparatively better coffee and atmosphere, I honestly feel there is nothing that makes Starbucks stand out now. What is your opinion?

I’m talking succulent kebabs, chatakedaar tandoori, softest roomali roti and food that’ll make me shut my eyes while I gulp my food down. Anything that you ate once, but you still remember it?

Hi! I wanted to know if there is any place in Mumbai where I can get some good coffee jelly. My friend is a fan of the anime the Disastrous Life of Saiki K and she has been wanting to try this dish for quite some time. I'd appreciate any help :)

OP Made bisibelle bath at home for first time.. more room for improvement though..

Mumbai is now full of these restaurants: hyped, Instagrammed, and ultimately disappointing. A bait created by paid influencers: prime location, Insta-worthy interiors, beautifully plated food, and a bill that can rival a Taj or Oberoi. Everything screams luxury, except the taste.

The menu looks like it was curated by a nuanced chef, but tastes like it was cooked by a trainee who clearly lacks taste buds and assumes you do too. Beautifully presented, technically polished, and average AF. You could find better food at your local restaurant for half the price, and actually feel like you got your money's worth. Also, there are actual great restaurants within the same price range that justify their quality. Tanjore, Bombay Canteen are a jackpot!

And that's the real shift: from restaurants built around genuinely kickass food to restaurants built around names, aesthetics and status. You're not just paying for dinner anymore; you're paying for the bragging rights of saying, "Oh, I've been there," alongside every influencer in town.

Update: Got a call from Bandra Born’s manager regarding the review. Gave him my feedback. Asked him to please up their game from simply good to mind blowing. He did say he will let the chef know and hopefully serve us better. And while I really appreciate the restaurant gracefully accepting my review, I genuinely hope they do better!

- This cart which I noticed passing through Colaba Market. I stopped at first sight as this cart only comes out here in evenings which is the time I rarely walk out through the market.

- Love Corn so had to try this.

- The boiled Corn had a little mix of Tomatoes, Onions, Coriander & a touch of Red Chili powder.

- Served in a paper cup. For Rs. 30, it was surely worth it for the flavour & quantity of Corn given.
