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.

#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

Shikha Tripathi

Arundhati Ail

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*.

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.

Bachelorr's

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.

20 Best Restaurants In Mumbai

by Priyal Yadav | Dec 14, 2021

The food in Mumbai is a mix of Indian and International cuisine. From the Irani Cafes to more Continental cuisines, here are 20 great restaurants that will make your mouth water (in all senses).

Mumbai – the city of dreams. Known for being vibrant and home to the stars of Bollywood, the city is also a food-lovers paradise. From quaint old Irani Cafes to the Khao Gali to being home to some of the world’s best restaurants, Mumbai has it all. You can find everything from traditional Persian cuisine to more continental and international cuisine. Here are 20 of the best restaurants that Mumbai has to offer.

Masala Library

A one-its-kind restaurant in India, Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra is the “temple of new-age Indian cuisine” of the Czar of Indian Cuisine, Jiggs Kalra. The restaurant offers a new version of Indian cuisine through the amalgamation of the traditional and the modern – the preparation is done traditionally while the cooking uses modern techniques.

The menu, with a separate Vegetarian version available, is a pan-Indian experience. It has something from every province of the country and something for everyone. From kebabs to the curries of India, Masala Library has it all. From fake eggs to an amuse-bouche of chat, from mushroom chai to the more traditional Paneer Makhani, everything on the diverse menu is worth a taste. The décor is simple and sophisticated – pleasant enough, yet not too distracting so that you can focus on the food.

Being listed on the One To Watch for Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2020, within four years of its debut, and then debuting at the 32nd spot on it in 2021, Masque is a must on this list. A “wilderness-to-table” restaurant, it is located at one of Mumbai’s old cotton mills.

With Chef Prateek Sadhu as its executive chef, the Masque aims to provide the first of its kind 10-course tasting menu. Being a wilderness to table restaurant means that the menu is dependent on the seasons and the local produce. The focus here is on transforming the traditional into the modern, emphasising using local produce. The menu includes dishes like the Smoked Mackerel on Buckwheat toast, modern dishes that take inspiration from the traditional. In addition, the Ayurveda inspired bar aims to incorporate the five vital elements to concoct signature cocktails, that as the food, is dependent on season ingredients.

Since opening its doors in 2011, The Table has been a force to be reckoned with for a globally inspired cuisine and a great restaurant experience. One of the first restaurants to introduce the concept of small and large plates, it aims to offer a lively social atmosphere.

The Table offers a multicultural cuisine with a wide range – from large plates to snacks and sides. As a farm to table restaurant, The Table’s menu is one with seasonal specialities and is ever-changing depending on the availability of the produce. It also draws inspiration from all over the world – from America to China, no place is spared.

From low alcoholic beverages, house cocktails and Sangrias to fruity non-alcoholic cocktails, fresh juices and wines, the bar is a journey in itself.

With décor that gives off a classy yet warm vibe, the restaurant has been one of the most incredible gems of Mumbai since 1958, when Om Prakash Bahl set it up.

The menu boasts mainly Indian dishes from the North-Western Frontier. Khyber has been around for a while and has undergone several changes (most notably after it reopened its doors in 1989 after a great fire in 1985), but it remains the same at the heart of it. So iconic is this restaurant that it is a must-visit for most tourists when they come to Mumbai.

The ambience has an air of dignified casualness – the place affords itself a vintage atmosphere made homely by the friendly owner and waitstaff.

There are various Iranian inspired specialities that you can feast on, but only during the lunch service on weekdays. These include the beloved Sali Boti, the mutton berry pulao and the Dhansak. If you’re looking to drink something unique, the Raspberry Soda is an Irani Café Specialty of Mumbai.

Leopold Café

This restaurant opened its doors in 1871 and has been a Mumbai institution since colonial times. The café is known for its great ambience, which it owes to the wide range of people who visit the place and the vintage air and the classic movie posters that makeup décor.

Leopold Café serves Continental, Chinese and Indian snacks alongside your beer or soft drink, whichever be your preference. They are also known for their selection of cocktails and elegant interiors.

Frequented by foreigners and locals alike, the café had been one of the various sites in Mumbai that were attacked during the 26/11 attacks in 2009. Yet, against all odds, the Café opened within four days of the attacks and has been going strong ever since.

The 10 best street food spots in Mumbai

Reflecting the city’s diverse cultural makeup, the best street food in Mumbai will take your taste buds to a new world

As magical and captivating as Mumbai is, it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming – especially for first-time visitors. With a population that far exceeds 20 million, Mumbai is constantly moving – your best bet is to take it as it goes. And that rule applies to the street food, too.

Step outside Mumbai’s restaurants and you won’t be disappointed. The city’s food off the street is the result of an ever-increasing melting pot of communities and grows more diverse by the day. Needless to say, it’s worth celebrating – here are the best places to get a taste.

An email you’ll actually love

Best street food in Mumbai

1.  Girgaum Chowpatty

The city beach is a favourite street food spot for visitors and locals alike and offers a glimpse of the hallmark “sand, sea and lip-smacking chaat experience.” There’s bhel puri for the health freak, made with boiled potatoes, raw mango and chutneys. The adventurous ones can opt for the spicy pani puri. While most vendors lining up on the beach claim to serve the best variant of their offered food, we recommend visiting Stall No. 11- Badshah’s to revive your taste buds.

2.  Crawford Market

Every evening, this area is teeming with people, like swarms of bees out on a mission.  Check out the outstanding seafood dishes such as the pomfret fry and crab curry that food artists carve out for night revellers. It is worth your while to check out the food stalls on Nagdevi street opposite Crawford market every evening, turning out melt-in-your-mouth succulent seekhs and payas prepared in a giant steel furnace. Do try out the special nalli nihari and the harisa , which is the only available vegetarian dish.

3.  Khau Galli

On any given day, locals eat like kings in the city’s Khau Gallis, which literally translates to food lanes. Khau gallis remain busy throughout the lunch hours into late at night with roadside carts offering a visual- and pocket-friendly gastronomic affair. Khau gallis are also often a great place to people watch: expect young working adults and elderly people devour shawarma and the grilled Bombay sandwich. The most popular Khau Galli stretches from SNDT College to Cross Maidan in South Mumbai.

4.  Anand Stall

Have you even visited Mumbai, if you haven’t snacked on vada pav ? A native dish to Mumbai, it is a deep-fried potato dumpling, stuffed into a pao with a generous portion of red and green chutneys. While it is available across stalls and sometimes even in high-end restaurants, for the best experience you’ll want to visit Anand Stall in Vile Parle or taste the original dish served at Vaidya’s stall on Platform No 1 on Dadar Station. Just a word of caution, though: never call it the Indian burger in front of the locals.

5.  Fort

Hidden amidst several restaurants, an unassuming low-budget eating spot, Pancham Puriwala in Fort, boasts of history older than the first train introduced by the British in India. Gulp down a glass of lassi, a traditional sweet drink, along with a plate of potato and peas curry with puri (a flour dough bread) . Listen to legendary tales involving Fort’s owner: he walked from his home town in North India to Mumbai on foot to feed India’s largest city.

6.  CST Station

Pav (pao or bread) originally came to India while under Portuguese rule. Since then, Mumbai’s love affair with pav continues unabated, usually accompanying a thick red curry of mashed vegetables, with copious amounts of butter, a squeeze of lemon and a dash of raw onion. While the dish can be found in dozens of kiosks and stalls across the city, visit the Cannon Pav Bhaji centre, next to the CST subway, for a satiating portion.

7.  Dadar

When in Mumbai, do as the Mumbaikars do. For a hearty breakfast meal, head to the popular local haunt Aaswad. Located in the central suburb of Dadar in Shivaji Nagar, the place has been around for more than three decades and is the city’s most visited vegetarian spot, serving regional Maharashtrian cuisine. A must-try dish here is the misal pav , a spicy moth bean curry.

8.  Haji Ali Juice Centre

Another spot you must visit is the Haji Ali Juice Centre, near the majestic Haji Ali Mosque at Worli Seaface. The roadside shop has earned a loyal following since its opening in the late 1930s, refreshing the faithful with healthy sandwiches and juices. Try out the most delicious custard, loaded with fruits, dry fruits and blended-in milk cream.

9.  Zaveri Bazaar Street

Zaveri Bazaar, the city’s diamond hub, is bursting at the seams with shops owned by old-time jewellers and little food stalls. Watch a hawker toss dosa for traders and craftsmen. Gorge on vegetarian snacks such as kachoris, chaats and samosas. Try out the ingenious pudlas : a Gujarati snack made of gram flour or chickpea flour and tossed with vegetables at Mohanbhai Pudlawala’s at chai time. Do not leave without trying out the khichiya papad , a thin crisp disc made of gram flour with 56 spices.

10.  Mohammed Ali Road

For an indulgent non-vegetarian gourmet experience, head straight to Mohammed Ali Road .  Don’t miss the delicious bhuna gosht (spicy mutton curry). From sizzling tikas, fluffy pattis, succulent kebabs to mouth-watering malpuas and other delectable culinary secrets, you’ll be thoroughly satisfied while striking a conversation with the patrons of the famous Minara Masjid.

Visit when these top events are taking place

13 best Mumbai events

As in the rest of India, religion plays an important role in the city’s daily life, so expect for a fair share of the best events in Mumbai to revolve around religious holidays. The common theme? Unbridled revelry played out in the streets, which means you don’t have to go too far to be in the midst of the action.

What to Eat in Mumbai's Fort Neighborhood

Developed by the British, Fort is a popular tourist and business district next to Colaba in south Mumbai. Due to its diversity, you'll find all kinds of eateries there including historic Parsi cafes and bakeries, simple street food joints, restaurants serving traditional Indian cuisine, and fashionable healthy food places. Many are located in the groovy Kala Ghoda Arts Precinct . Here's what to eat in Mumbai's Fort neighborhood.

North Indian Cuisine: Khyber

One of Mumbai's must-try Indian cuisine restaurants, Khyber serves up authentic dishes from the Northwest Frontier of undivided India (now Pakistan). This landmark restaurant with regal interiors, founded in 1958, is named after the ancient Silk Road Khyber Pass between central and south Asia. Over the years, many international celebrities including Paul McCartney and Richard Gere have dined at the restaurant. Its menu has more then 250 items, with the highlights being the tandoori and stewed lamb dishes. However, vegetarians will find a good variety of options too.

Seafood: Trishna

Trishna is another famous and long-standing restaurant in the Fort neighborhood. It's renowned for its fine south Indian seafood, which is among the best in the city. There's not much space inside the restaurant and not surprisingly it always draws a crowd, so do book in advance to avoid waiting. The signature dish is crab in butter pepper garlic sauce. Other popular dishes include Hyderabadi-style fish (coated in ground pepper and barbecued), squid or prawns koliwada (marinated in batter and deep fried), and chili garlic lobster. 

If you're on a budget, Mahesh Lunch Home is a bit cheaper but still excellent. Alternatively, head to no-frills Apoorva or Pratap Lunch Home near Horniman Circle for an abundance of inexpensive and tasty seafood.

Vegetarian Thali: Chetana

Feeling really hungry? Look no further than Chetana on Kala Ghoda's Rampart Row for a simple but satisfying vegetarian thali (platter), spanning states such as Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. The restaurant opened as a sandwich and coffee shop in 1946 to serve the city's intellectuals and elite, who engaged in philosophical discussions and games of chess. However, it has evolved over the years, and was further expanded and renovated in 2001. Choose the Chetana Health Thali for dishes cooked without oil and dairy, and rotis made with unrefined jowar and bajra flour.

Parsi Cuisine: Britannia & Company

Historic Britannia & Co is one of the last remaining restaurants started by the Parsi and Iranian Zoroastrian community in Mumbai. It has been in business since 1923, in a suitably grand vintage building designed by Scottish architect George Wittet (who's best known for designing the Gateway of India) in the Fort neighborhood's tree-lined Ballard Estate. What's interesting is that the restaurant's much-loved signature mutton berry pulao wasn't introduced until 1982. The restaurant initially served Continental food to the British, followed by Mughlai and Mangalorean dishes after they left, before finally returning to its roots. The exact recipe of the pulao , which is topped with imported Iranian barberries, is a closely-held family secret.

Chai and Baked Goods: Yazdani Bakery

Yazdani Bakery was set up by an Iranian Zoroastrian baker in 1950, on Cawasji Patel Street, in the congested heart of the Fort neighborhood's Bora Bazaar precinct. Like Britannia & Company, it has the same dingy old-world ambiance of a bygone era. Join the loyal following of regulars who go there for hot chai and brun maska (buttered crusty bread roll), freshly baked on the premises in a traditional wood-fired oven. The eccentric elderly proprietor was a boxer in his youth, and he may even strike a pose for you!

Snacks, Street Food and Juice: Badshah Cold Drink

When Badshah (a term for a Mughal king) was established opposite Crawford Market in 1905, the British were still ruling Mumbai and the Gateway of India wasn't even in existence. The restaurant continues to be respected for its hygienically prepared south Indian snacks, local street food, and juices. It's a convenient place to rest and refuel while shopping at the surrounding markets. Try the pav bhaji (spicy mashed vegetables with butter and bread, a Mumbai specialty), royal falooda (an ice cream dessert drink with vermilcelli noodles and dried fruit), or Mysore sada dosa (a plain dosa with spicy chutney).

Modern Indian and Global Cuisine: 145 Kala Ghoda

145 Kala Ghoda is located next to Khyber and is owned by the same family, but what it offers is totally different. While there have been very few changes to the menu at Khyber, in contrast 145 Kala Ghoda is all about experimentation. The owners decided on vibrant quirky decor and an eclectic menu featuring an array of cuisine types from across the world, with an emphasis on comfort food. There's everything from macaroni and cheese to Sri Lankan pork curry. Those with a sweet tooth will salivate over desserts such as chocolate chip cookie dough pizza, chocolate brownie with salted caramel filling, and cookie crumble ice cream sundae. Note that this contemporary restaurant by day turns into a cool party place by night.

Healthy Continental Food: The Pantry

When it opened in 2012, this cute all-day bakery cafe led a trendy new wave of restaurants focused on using locally-sourced ingredients in Mumbai's Fort neighborhood. Despite having chic French industrial interiors and serving European-style fare, The Pantry aims to reintroduce diners to local farm-to-fork produce including organic seasonal vegetables, Indian coffees and teas, and cheeses. The menu has been extended to feature nourishing healthy and vegan dishes.

Coffee and Cake: Kala Ghoda Cafe

Conceived as an alternative to coffee shop chains, the Kala Ghoda Cafe is a hip yet informal intimate local hangout that's housed in an early 20th century barn opposite Trishna. The cafe also doubles as a gallery and retail space, with art and modernist design products on display. Plus, free wireless Internet is available. The menu is quite short but what it does, it does well. There's organic teas and coffees, Continental and Parsi breakfasts, waffles, salads, soups, sandwiches, and yummy baked goods. The house-blend coffee is outstanding, as it should be because the owner is a photographer and coffee connoisseur.

Between shoots, holidays and promotional appearances, Bollywood 's biggest stars can often be seen travelling not just throughout India, but also the globe. It comes as no surprise then that when they're in Mumbai, they like to stick with their favourite hangout spots where they feel most at home. If you're an avid Bollywood follower, you may enjoy keeping up with your favourite celebrities' travel pictures, but if you've always wanted to bump into one of them IRL, it's a good idea to keep an eye on their favourite food spots in the city. Here's a list of the restaurants and clubs you're most likely to spot your favourite actors at.

Otter's Club, Bandra West

One of the city's oldest and most-loved clubs, this one's a favourite with the likes of Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar, who often stop by to squeeze in workouts in the middle of their busy schedules. Every once in a while, you may also spot Singh pausing to greet his fans and fellow members by this Bandra club's gate.

South Mumbai Restaurants: 18 Best Places To Eat 2024

Are you looking for the the best south mumbai restaurants i’ve got you covered.

South Mumbai offers a wide range of restaurants catering to various tastes and preferences. I am food obsessed and look for delicious food everywhere I travel. Being from New York, I am spoiled with a variety of amazing food options, but South Mumbai has plenty of restaurants to please my discerning taste buds and I’m sure you can find at least one or two you enjoy too!

If you’re venturing across the Sealink and up to Juhu, you can also check out the best Juhu Beach restaurants .

18 Best South Mumbai Restaurants

Here are some of the best restaurants in South Mumbai that are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.

1. Americano

This restaurant has great food and excellent cocktails. The tall ceilings create a nice roomy atmosphere away from the crowded city action and small lanes of Fort. In my opinion, it’s hard to find good pizza in India, but if you like Neapolitan style, definitely try the pizza here!

They’re open for dinner Wednesday – Sunday and have lunch service on the weekends too.

Best for: Nice group dinner or date night drinks at the bar Neighborhood : Fort

2. The Table

A farm to table restaurant with ingredient-driven focus that draws inspiration from cuisines all over the world. The menu has small and large plates that are intended for sharing creating a lively and social atmosphere. The innovative dishes served here regularly change based on seasonal ingredients.

I last ate there in September 2023 and from the current menu, I highly recommend the brussel sprouts, Korean BBQ beef tacos, and the lamb pappardelle pasta.

Best for: Group dinner Neighborhood : Colaba

3. Burma Burma Restaurant & Tea Room

Delightful Burmese restaurant with an all vegetarian menu. If you are a meat eater, don’t let the vegetarian menu scare you off, everything we ate here was exceptionally delicious and filling. Note that they do not serve alcohol so come for lunch and enjoy their wide range of tea options to sip on.

Best for: Group lunch Neighborhood : Fort

A fine dining Italian spot with a flare. They do authentic Italian with a focus on high quality ingredients, without complicating the cuisine with the usual complexity you find in India. Make sure to try the pizzas and the pastas.

This is my favorite Italian restaurant in Mumbai. They update their menu with the seasons. Don’t miss their delicious cocktail menu!

There’s also a location in Bandra West.

Best for: Dinner or date night Neighborhood: Kemps Corner

5. Bastian, Worli

This restaurant was made for Instagram with its trendy décor and pretty dishes. It’s a bit hyped up which makes some people extra critical in their reviews of this restaurant but my friends and I enjoyed all our food and had a good experience. Be sure to get dessert too.

Best for: Brunch or dinner Neighborhood : Worli

6. Kaui Kitchen

Casual but super yummy Asian food restaurant. The small space only has room for a handful tables inside in the air conditioning plus a couple more outside so make sure to snag a reservation if you want to be sure to get a table.

Best for: small group dinner or causal date night Neighborhood : Colaba

7. The Bombay Canteen

This restaurant offers a contemporary take on regional dishes from across the country. The creative cocktails and vibrant ambiance make it the perfect place to catch up with friends over a group dinner.

Best for: Group lunch or dinner Neighborhood : Lower Parel

8. Slink & Bardot

The cuisine here is classified as French but it definitely has an Indian twist to it as well. Get a few plates and share with your table mates while you enjoy some refreshing cocktails.

Best for: Dinner for a couple or a small group Neighborhood : Worli

I’d be remiss not to include Masque on this list. While it’s expensive, the innovative 10-course meal is well worth the cost. Masque was my personal favorite meal I ate in Mumbai and was once named India’s Best Restaurant.

Best for: Celebrating a special occasion Neighborhood : Lower Parel

10. Bayroute

This Mediterranean restaurant has two locations in South Mumbai, one in the Palladium mall and one in Cuffe Parade. The menu showcases an array of authentic dishes inspired by the coastal regions of Greece, Lebanon, Turkey, and beyond. Enjoy some delicious dips and succulent kebabs here!

Best for: Date night Neighborhood : Cuffe Parade

11. Kuckeliku Breakfast House

Given the word breakfast is in the name, I recommend this restaurant for delicious brunch food. It’s easy to miss as it’s tucked away on the second floor of a building so look out for the small round sign above the staircase that leads to the breakfast house.

Try their unique offering of coffee and tonic water. I was hesitate but really enjoyed the refreshing coffee drink.

Best for: Brunch Neighborhood : Colaba

12. Sea Lounge at Taj Mahal Palace

Famous for its traditional Afternoon Tea, the Sea Lounge offers a delightful array of delectable treats, including freshly baked scones, dainty sandwiches, and an impressive selection of teas.

Whether you’re seeking a leisurely afternoon tea or a tranquil spot to admire the mesmerizing views of Mumbai’s waterfront, the Sea Lounge at Taj Mahal Palace promises a quintessentially Indian indulgence.

Best for: Afternoon tea Neighborhood : Colaba

South Mumbai Famous Cafés & Iconic Restaurants

These cafés are well-known in Mumbai for their long standing history. I’d recommend these places for a quick lunch or a bite to eat in between meals just to experience them.

13. Kala Ghoda Café

This modern minimal café has an extensive “light bites” menu. I’ve found their food to be just as enjoyable as the coffee. Perfect place to stop in for an afternoon sandwich and coffee. They also have a wine bar making it a good option for an evening catch up with a friend.

Best for: breakfast, lunch, or coffee break Neighborhood : Fort

14. Leopold Café

Since its establishment in 1871, this iconic café has been a beloved haunt for both travelers and locals. It gained international attention when it was one of the sites targeted during the devastating 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai. Despite the scars of the past (it still bears bullet holes from that tragic day), Café Leopold remains an enduring symbol of resistance and the city’s resilience.

Popular among college students for their beer towers. I recommend ordering a few starters here and skipping the mains.

Best for: For a hang session with starters and beer Neighborhood : Colaba

15. Café Britannia & Company

Parsi café culture has a rich history in and of itself. Be sure to try the Berry Pulao! To learn more about Parsi cafes in Mumbai, read this post: Iconic Parsi cafés in Mumbai that bring the old world charm .

Best for: Classic Parsi dishes Neighborhood : Ballard Estate, Fort

16. Café Mondegar

This eclectic and vibrant café serves a wide range of comfort food and hearty dishes.

Best for: Breakfast Neighborhood : Colaba

17. Ling’s Pavilion

Known for its authentic Chinese food, Ling’s is an institution in South Mumbai. You should definitely ask your waiter about their favorite off menu dishes.

Best for: Family dinner Neighborhood : Colaba

18. Sher-e-Punjab

Established in 1938, this restaurant touts itself as the oldest Punjabi restaurant in Mumbai.

Best for: A lowkey meal or family dinner Neighborhood : Fort

36 Hours in Mumbai

By Saumya Roy Photographs by Atul Loke

Saumya Roy, a Mumbai-based author, has written a book about the city’s wealth, poverty and the waste pickers who make their living in its landfill.

Mumbai appears as much a dream as a city. Sprinkled with the stardust of Bollywood, the Hindi-language film industry that bases itself here, and studded with billionaires , India’s hyperkinetic metropolis, known as Bombay until 1995, feels like a place where anything is possible. But over the years, the city’s reality has been one of crumbling infrastructure, unmoving traffic and unending slums. Amid tight pandemic lockdowns, Mumbai turned into one of the world’s great construction sites , trying to remake itself with new towers, subway lines and bridges . Take in the dizzying juxtapositions — while discovering experimental performances in former textile mills and serene, ancient caves a short drive from the urban chaos — in a city guaranteed to look different again the next time you visit.

Recommendations

• Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya , a sprawling and immaculately kept museum, houses a trove of Hindu, Jain and Buddhist sculptures.
• The Bombay Poetry Crawl offers a walking tour through one of Mumbai’s most rapidly gentrifying areas and traces the city’s working-class roots through poetry.
• The Kanheri Caves are an ancient Buddhist complex of more than 100 caves, some dating back as far as 2,000 years, in Sanjay Gandhi National Park . Some of the caves have pillared prayer halls and serene, carved Buddhist deities.
• G5A , an arts center housed in part of a former textile mill, hosts music, film screenings, poetry readings and performances.
• The Afghan Church , formally known as the Church of St. John the Evangelist, is a newly restored 19th-century house of worship that serves as a poignant memorial for fallen Indian and British soldiers.
• Mani Bhavan , the former home of Mohandas K. Gandhi, is now a museum that preserves details of his spartan life, underscoring his emphasis on self-reliance.
• Moghal Masjid , a Shiite mosque built in 1860, is known for its intricate blue tile work.
• Hasnabad Dargah , known as Mumbai’s Taj Mahal for its resemblance to that celebrated monument, is a milky-white mausoleum that evokes calm in the middle of the city.
• Magen David Synagogue is a large historic temple, painted sky blue, in the Byculla neighborhood.
• Stroll by murals of Bollywood stars in Bandra , a coastal neighborhood of old Portuguese bungalows and celebrity homes.
• Masque is a high-end restaurant that reinvents traditional Indian dishes in modern, surprising ways over a nine-course tasting menu.
• Kala Ghoda Cafe serves healthy breakfasts, including spicy egg dishes.
• Swati Snacks , a Mumbai institution, offers street-food classics and traditional favorites in a bright, clean setting.
• Aaswad Upahar and Mithai Griha is a popular, no-frills restaurant in the Dadar neighborhood that offers a mango-themed thali (a platter filled with various small dishes) in April and May, when the fruit is in season.
• Bastian at the Top , a sceney rooftop restaurant with lavish décor that includes an indoor swimming pool, is worth a stop to take in the views of the bay over a drink.
• Moonray , a newly opened women’s wear store, brings together immaculate European cuts and handmade embroidery from Mumbai.
• Payal Khandwala sells silk tops, sharply cut suits and trench coats in bold-colored Indian fabric.
• Ogaan showcases a range of local designers whose garments include ornate Indian wedding wear and silk shirts.
• Kitab Khana has a large and well-curated selection of books on Indian literature, politics and Gandhian thought, set in a building that is more than a century old.
• Induri Saree Centre sells glittering, traditional saris in a candy-box-size store.
• The Taj Mahal Palace , an ornate hotel open since 1903, looks over the Arabian Sea and the historic Gateway of India arch. A memorial in the lobby commemorates the terror attack at the hotel in 2008. Rooms start at 23,550 rupees, or about $282.
• Sea Green Hotel , on the curved, lit-up shoreline called the Queen’s Necklace, has basic rooms with gorgeous bay views. Rooms start at around 9,000 rupees.
• The Grand Hotel is a century-old establishment in the city’s historic Ballard Estate district, an area that is also home to one of Mumbai’s best-known Parsi restaurants, Britannia & Co. You can also walk to many of the city’s well-known attractions. Rooms start at around 6,850 rupees.
• Traveling in Mumbai’s packed trains is fast, efficient and an experience like no other. Millions travel on the local trains every year, and vendors and singers walk through compartments (25 rupees for a first-class single ticket). Black-and-yellow cabs , which use meters with fixed rates, and ride-hailing apps like Uber are readily available. Mumbai’s red buses also offer a breezy, scenic and cheap way to get around the city (from 5 rupees per trip).

See spindly chimneys rising amid luxury hotels and condos in the jagged skyline of Lower Parel, a rapidly gentrifying precinct in central Mumbai. The chimneys are relics of the area’s former textile mills, which began slowly being redeveloped into malls after a worker strike in the 1980s. Trace Mumbai’s working-class roots here with the writer Saranya Subramanian, who leads the Bombay Poetry Crawl (600 rupees, or about $7), a series of walking tours conducted through the lens of poetry and local history. During the tour, Ms. Subramanian reads poetry by workers and encourages participants to read, too. She leads the tour monthly and also hosts a range of other poetry walks in the city, including one on a local train. Check her Instagram page, @thebombaypoetrycrawl , for scheduling.

Take a car to the nearby G5A , a cultural center housed in a repurposed textile mill compound. Trees grow out of the stone walls of a neighboring former mill , and skyscrapers rise, seemingly by the minute, on the other side. Catch a show at G5A, which hosts edgy art performances, movie screenings and discussions in its small theater, or on its terrace, with the moon glowing through the Mumbai haze. Recent shows include a poetry reading by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Forrest Gander, along with the celebrated Indian poet Arvind Krishna Mehrotra; Norwegian and Bangalorean jazz bands; and a Kashmiri film. Tickets from 250 to 700 rupees.

Walk next door, still within the mill compound, to the high-ceilinged and warmly lit Masque , a restaurant that reinvents traditional Indian dishes across a nine-course tasting menu (5,200 rupees per person). It takes puran poli and amti, for instance, a sweet, lentil-filled flatbread and side of spicy coconut dal that is often eaten during Mumbai festivals, and remixes it as a bite-size chickpea tart with a hint of jaggery (Indian raw sugar), filled with green peas or crab and topped with coconut foam. Pav, a ubiquitous Mumbai bread bun with a crackly top and slightly sweet, dense interior, acquires a croissant-like, buttery texture here — dip it into a silky morel or lamb curry. Cap off the meal with a popsicle made with unlikely layers of Indian pickle, mulberry and white chocolate. Vegetarian menus available.

Trace Mumbai’s working-class roots in Lower Parel with the Bombay Poetry Crawl, a series of walking tours conducted through the lens of poetry and local history.

Walk through the soft-colored shadows cast by stained-glass windows in the Church of St. John the Evangelist, more commonly known as the Afghan Church , which reopened in March after a two-year renovation. The building, in the leafy Navy Nagar, a naval area at the southern tip of Mumbai, was completed in 1858 and commemorates the more than 4,500 Indian and British soldiers who died during the first Anglo-Afghan war, including in its disastrous retreat from Kabul. The church is also known for multifaith prayers, Indian classical music concerts and a midnight Mass at Christmas. Entry is free.

Kala Ghoda Cafe

Dig into a breakfast of akuri, a spicy scrambled egg dish (345 rupees) that is traditional in India’s Parsi community, at Kala Ghoda Cafe , in the Kala Ghoda neighborhood. Then walk to the sprawling Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya , a museum with manicured lawns and a Gothic-style building topped with a bulbous dome. As part of “ Ancient Sculptures ,” showing through October, chiseled Greek gods and Egyptian deities from the British Museum and the J. Paul Getty Museum share space with Assyrian gods from CSMVS’s permanent collection. The museum’s permanent galleries are a trove of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain sculptures and also feature artifacts from the ancient Indus Valley civilization. Tickets, 150 rupees for Indian nationals; 700 rupees for foreigners.

Stroll the Kala Ghoda neighborhood, starting with Artisans ’, a gallery and shop in a graffiti-covered building that showcases traditional Indian crafts. In the area’s ever-expanding fashion district, browse crisp white shirts with handmade lace collars (from around 9,500 rupees) at Moonray , a women’s fashion label and shop (its co-founder also runs the Chanakya School of Craft , which teaches women embroidery and collaborates with Dior). Also check out Payal Khandwala , which has silk tops (14,000 rupees), sharply cut suits and trench coats in bold-colored Indian fabric, and Ogaan , with heavily embellished wedding dresses, pleated dresses and more. Then walk to Kitab Khana , an independent bookstore in a more-than-century-old building with Corinthian columns in the nearby Fort district. Browse the well-curated selection of Indian literature and the books on history and Gandhian thought that line the high shelves.

Swati Snacks

A dizzying range of delicacies can be found on Mumbai’s khao gallis, a Hindi term for “food streets.” The safest way to try them all (and avoid tummy trouble) might be at Swati Snacks , a six-decade-old restaurant in the Tardeo area. Have the vada pav (175 rupees), like garlicky potato sliders, and the signature panki (230 rupees), a wispy rice pancake flavored with mint or dill that arrives steaming in a banana-leaf parcel. Then visit the nearby Mani Bhavan , a three-story building where Mohandas K. Gandhi, known as the father of the nation, often stayed; it is now a museum. Spinning wheels and floor seating in his preserved, spartan bedroom provide a window to his belief that the route to Indian independence could come only through discipline and self-reliance. Entry, 20 rupees.

Moghal Masjid

Take a car to Byculla, the chaotic old quarter of Mumbai. Get a coffee (Americano, 228 rupees) at the Craftery by Subko , a new Mumbai cafe and roastery chain bringing hipsters to this part of the city. Then drive through the busy, narrow streets to see some of Mumbai’s diverse and beautiful religious monuments. Visit the nearby Moghal Masjid , a jewel-like, Iranian-style Shiite mosque built in 1860, with intricate blue tiling adorning a curved entrance. Women cannot pray inside the mosque but can enter the compound, which has a pool for ablution. Take in the facade of Hasnabad Dargah , a pristine, ivory-colored mausoleum, known as Mumbai’s Taj Mahal for its resemblance to the original (entry only for Shia Ismaili Muslims). Not far from there is the Magen David Synagogue (entry, 300 rupees), recognizable by its sky blue clock tower, built in the 1860s to serve Mumbai’s once wealthy and influential, but now vanishing , Jewish community.

Bastian at the Top

In the Dadar neighborhood, shop for handwoven saris (from 2,000 rupees) and scarves at Induri Saree Centre , a candy-box-size store. Then line up at Aaswad Upahar and Mithai Griha , a no-frills Dadar institution best visited in April and May with the arrival of fragrant and luscious Alphonso mangoes. Aaswad does a seasonal mango-themed thali (a platter of various small dishes; 470 rupees) that includes a saffron, mango and cardamom drink; a mango dal; and chilled mango pulp called aamras that is the taste of a Mumbai summer in a bowl. Then cross the street to the gleaming, new Kohinoor Square mall and take the elevator 48 floors to Bastian at the Top . With a tree-lined plunge pool and glowing figurines carved into giant pillars, it can feel more like a theme park than a restaurant (it often attracts Bollywood celebrities). It’s worth a cocktail (1,295 rupees) just to take in the sweeping views of the bay.

Catch a show at G5A, a cultural center housed in a repurposed textile mill compound.

A mural by Ranjit Dahiya

The laid-back suburb of Bandra has Portuguese bungalows, Bollywood studios and the full wattage of star homes along with fans hoping for a glimpse. The best bet for encountering Bollywood stars is on the Technicolor, larger-than-life murals in the area’s charming lanes. See a pistol-wielding Dharmendra, from the iconic 1975 movie “Sholay,” opposite the Subko cafe on Chapel Road. Next to it is a triptych of Bollywood’s dancing divas — a feathered Helen and a bejeweled Waheeda Rehman and Asha Parekh. (Ranjit Dahiya, the artist behind many of these murals, also teaches workshops .) Stroll on to Waroda Road (past a moody depiction of the celebrated actor ​​Irrfan Khan) to reach the brightly colored Veronica’s , an all-day cafe that has become something of a living room for Bandra’s young set, who come for creative bites like chicken-and-cheese-filled breakfast momos (395 rupees), potato waffles (350 rupees) and babka stuffed with chorizo (275 rupees).

Leave the chaos of the city behind, driving north to reach the entrance of Sanjay Gandhi National Park , a 40-square-mile preserve where deer, monkeys and the occasional leopard roam. From inside the park, minivans drive visitors about 10 minutes through the forest (1,000 rupees round-trip) to the bottom of a hill. From there, walk up to the Kanheri Caves, a Buddhist complex of more than 100 caves, the oldest dating back 2,000 years, carved into basalt. Some form large, pillared prayer halls, while others feature carved serene Buddhist deities in prayer. Also see the waterways, loosely cut into the hills, that provided water to the monks who lived and meditated there many centuries ago. Park entry, 95 rupees; caves entry, 25 rupees.

15 affordable places to travel in 2024, ranked in a new report.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Want to take an affordable vacation in 2024? You’ve come to the right place. Although travel costs are on the rise this year ( up 3.1% ), it’s still possible to save money in 2024—if you know where to go.

A new travel report from the U.K.’s Post Office —a British-based mail and financial services company — has just unveiled some of the most budget-friendly destinations for 2024. And although the annual report is aimed at U.K. travelers, it’s a helpful list for Americans, too.

By analyzing currency strengths, local prices and essential tourist expenses in 40 popular vacation destinations around the globe, the Holiday Money Report 2024 highlights some of the cheapest places to travel. The report ranks the destinations based on a barometer that takes the local price of eight tourist essentials into consideration—including coffee, beer, cola, wine, water, sunscreen, insect repellent and a three-course meal. And while the report doesn’t include factors like hotels and airfare, it helps give a good sense of where your dollars will stretch the furthest.

This is the 18th year that the Post Office has done this report. And the good news: Prices have fallen since last year in 25 spots on the list. (A note that the original report included prices in pounds sterling, which have been converted into dollars here, using the exchange rate on the date of publication of 1.26.)

An aerial view of Hoi An, Vietnam, the most affordable destination to travel in 2024, according to a ... [+] new report.

Leading the list as the cheapest place to travel right now is Hoi An, Vietnam. According to the Post Office report, a total estimated cost of just $64.51 a day for the travel essentials makes this charming gem the ultimate bang-for-your-buck destination that won’t break the bank. Located on the central coast of Vietnam, Hoi An entices visitors with its UNESCO -recognized Ancient Town, a picturesque spot where lantern-lit streets lead to quaint shops and street food stalls. It is also convenient to stunning white-sand beaches—some of the most beautiful in Asia .

Top 20 Restaurants in the US, According to the Experts

From a Michelin-starred Indian dining destination to a former F&W Restaurant of the Year, this list has it all.

For nearly 20 years, Chadner Navarro has written and edited content about travel, food, fashion, design, and culture for various print and digital publications, including the Travel + Leisure, Washington Post, and Condé Nast Traveler.

What makes a stellar restaurant experience, exactly? It's not just the delicious flavors but also the ambience, hospitality, and overall package that make a place stand out among the rest. Throughout the country, there are countless restaurateurs who put their everything into making their restaurants an extension of their personality, welcoming guests into their spaces to feed them and make them feel invited.

For Food & Wine's second annual Global Tastemaker Awards, we celebrate those restaurants that, through the creative use of ingredients, unparalleled hospitality, and general vibe, made for the most memorable dining experiences from coast to coast. From a farm-to-table experience in coastal Maine, to a former Food & Wine Restaurant of the Year in Nashville, to a Michelin-starred Indian dining destination, this list celebrates the best of the country's culinary offerings.

Here are the 20 best restaurants in the U.S., according to our panel of expert food and travel journalists — and our Plus One pick that can't be missed.

Anajak Thai (Los Angeles)

At this Sherman Oaks hotspot, 2022 F&W Best New Chef Justin Pichetrungsi allows his creativity to lead his kitchen. The restaurant's name might have the word Thai in it, but if you're convinced that you'd be tucking into the expected, think again. Here, Pichetrungsi's vision is tethered to Thai culinary traditions, but it's expanded by his own unique ideas surrounding food. So, for favorites like pad thai and papaya salad, prepare to enjoy the best version of them you may have ever tasted. But his fits of whimsy — like Thai Taco Tuesday or the occasional omakase dinners — have become some of the most sought-after dining experiences in Los Angeles. And he's even added a robust wine program to the Anajak Thai menu. No wonder the James Beard Foundation named Pichetrungsi California's best chef in 2023.

Aragosta (Deer Isle, Maine)

Capshore Photography

Chef and owner Devin Finigan’s seasonal farm-to-table restaurant in coastal Maine is over 10 years old, but it’s still among the most coveted places to eat in New England. Finigan has cooked with and learned from the likes of Thomas Keller and Dan Barber so you know that she’s got the fine-dining chops. At Aragosta , Finigan takes the finest hauls from the region’s farmers and fishermen and transforms them into delicate casseroles of green beans and mushrooms, bowls of lobster bisque around which a speck-wrapped lobster tail sits, and a plate of peach-olive oil upside-down cake crowned with oregano flowers.

Semma (New York City)

KARSTEN MORAN/The New York Times/Redux

At this colorful Greenwich Village dining room , you’re supposedly getting a menu of south Indian cooking. But you’re really getting chef Vijay Kumar’s most cherished childhood meals. Many of the regional items here — from the rice and lentil dumplings to the venison spiked with clovers — are new for diners accustomed to mainstream Indian cuisine in the U.S. These are dishes that you’re more likely to find in a friend’s home in Goa, but we couldn’t be more grateful to Kumar for showcasing the specialties.

Birdie’s (Austin, Texas)

Eva Kolenko

Food & Wine’s 2023 Restaurant of the Year winner, Birdie’s offers a rare dining experience. It’s a counter-service restaurant that flirts with fine dining while offering high-quality hospitality. Husband-and-wife team Tracy Malechek-Ezekiel and Arjav Ezekiel elevates every part of your experience with thoughtfulness, from the chuggable wine selection to the surprising New American menu where expensive steak shares the spotlight with an addictive portion of creamy soft-serve ice cream.

Kasama (Chicago)

When husband-and-wife team 2022 F&W Best New Chefs T im Flores and Genie Kwon opened Kasama in July 2020, they started with a cafe concept serving bakery items and savory Filipino comfort classics like chicken adobo. Today, this Ukrainian Village hit is an all-day affair that includes a full tasting menu for dinner, where Flores and Kwon show off the globally inspired depth of the Philippine kitchen. Since 2022, it’s also the first and only Filipino restaurant that’s been awarded with a Michelin star.

Damian (Los Angeles)

Araceli Paz

At celebrity chef Enrique Olvera ’s leafy DTLA restaurant , the kitchen’s Mexican seafood identity is layered on with influences from Asia and farmer-fresh produce from California. Start with the bright raw bar before moving onto a light tostada topped with uni from Santa Barbara and the juicy swordfish poc chuc . Seats here are so coveted that even with a reservation, you may still have to wait a bit for your table. Thankfully, the creative no-waste beverage program can keep you occupied until it’s time to sit down.

Chubby Fish (Charleston, South Carolina)

Courtesy of Chubby Fish

In food-focused Charleston, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to seafood. Still, it’s clear that for our voters, chef James London’s Chubby Fish is a standout both for its sustainable sourcing practices and a delicious menu that dodges expectations. Grilled oysters slathered with crab fat curry, bone marrow paired with crunchy shrimp tempura, and delicately poached fish served with leeks and radish are just some of the crowd-pleasing favorites at this beautifully designed restaurant.

Daru (Washington, D.C.)

Scott Suchman for The Washington Post via Getty Images)

Since opening in August 2021, chef Suresh Sundas’s inventive Indian restaurant has been one of the District’s most talked about dining destinations. Here, Sundas takes familiar dishes from his homeland and adds unpredictable details that forces diners to see them anew, like adding burrata to daal. You can easily tuck into a massive meal here or just pick-and-choose a few things from the snacks menu, all of which pair easily with the equally inventive cocktails coming from the bar.

Bell’s (Los Alamos)

Aubrie Pick

This charming, casual bistro from 2020 F&W Best New Chef Daisy Ryan has become one of the most talked-about stops on Los Alamos’ incredibly trendy main drag. And why not? For a destination restaurant, Bell’s , which serves modernized French food, is sneakily comforting. Maybe it’s the intimate size or the leafy, bright courtyard where you can lose an entire afternoon indulging in garlicky snails and digging into a crepe cake layered with uni while sampling glass after glass of rosé.

Kann (Portland, Oregon)

Steve Freihon

At this 2023 James Beard Foundation Best New Restaurant, Gregory Gourdet celebrates Haitian cuisine in bold, creative ways, marrying it with Pacific Northwest ingredients and live-fire cooking. Dishes like grilled salmon marinated in epis (a blend of garlic, peppers and herbs), crispy akra (a taro root fritter), and Gourdet’s take on Haitian spaghetti showcase the immense range of Haiti's culinary traditions.

Locust (Nashville)

Andrew Thomas Lee

This gorgeous, photogenic space started as an homage to dumplings and shaved ice when it opened in 2020. And it would deserve a spot on this list if it remained that way. But today, Locust , Food & Wine’s 2022 Restaurant of the Year , is a lot more than that. Peekytoe crab omelets, curry potato chips, and clam toasts are each a marvel in their simplicity, concentration of flavor, and delicate preparation. Dumplings, with their whisper-thin wrappers and juicy stuffings, are a must.

Naro (New York City)

With beloved projects like Atoboy and Atomix in their resume, Married couple Ellia and Junghyun “J.P.” Park (the latter a 2019 F&W Best New Chef) are pioneers of New York City’s modern Korean fine-dining scene. That claim only got stronger in 2022 when the pair opened Naro on the lower concourse of Rockefeller Center. With this upscale paean to Korean cooking, the Parks treat guests to details you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the U.S. — like a granita made of kimchi brine that’s paired with octopus; their take on twigim (a Korean street food of battered, deep-fried fish); and a delicate yet rich potato Jeon, layered with pine nut cream.

Leah and Louise (Charlotte, North Carolina)

Peter Taylor

Greg and Subrina Collier’s modern juke joint is satisfying in every way, starting with the ambience. Leah and Louise is easygoing with just a touch of rustic-chic courtesy of myriad reclaimed wood fixtures throughout the space. It’s an inviting setting for the Memphis-inspired Southern cooking happening in the kitchen. Think: hot fried quail and oysters, a cornmeal brioche with black-garlic butter, and a pasta dish called Walking in Memphis, where noodles are tossed with a smoked-lamb ragout and topped with miso-aged cheddar.

March (Houston, Texas)

Courtesy of March

With chef Felippe Riccio and expert sommelier June Rodil leading a service-first team, March has become Houston’s primo fine-dining destination. In the kitchen, Riccio gets creative with the expansive (and fluid) nature of Mediterranean cuisine, with ever-evolving tasting menus that draw inspiration from Spain and Greece to Corsica and beyond. And for Rodil’s part, you won’t find a more impressive and exciting wine list in the state. Their 11,000-bottle cellar is as well-traveled as the food menu with labels coming from Champagne, Penedes, the Douro Valley, and Lebanon.

Maty's (Miami)

ALFONSO DURAN/The New York Times/Redux

Finding Latin food in Miami isn’t particularly difficult. But what 2023 F&W Best New Chef Valerie Chang is doing with Peruvian cuisine in Midtown is truly one-of-a-kind, largely because the food here is inspired by her grandmother’s cooking. (The restaurant is named after her.)  Grilled grouper tail crowning a shallow plate of beurre blanc, a bowl of lomo saltado with tender oxtail, and tuna taradito like never before (with cranberry beans, cilantro, and aji limo) are just some of the ways in which she’s paying homage to her upbringing while letting her own vision shine.

Kin (Boise, Idaho)

When chef Kris Komori won the 2023 James Beard Award for Outstanding Chef: Mountain Region, it marked Idaho's first medal from the organization. At Kin , Komori launches frequently rotating tasting menus that highlight seasonal harvest from regional farmers and food purveyors. One week the star dish might be a deconstructed chicken-noodle soup. Another menu delights with an unusual raw-bar twist on fish and chips. Many of these menus are themed around community initiatives, including fundraising for a range of causes.

Nixta Taqueria (Austin, Texas)

Isaac Obioma

2023 F&W Best New Chef Edgar Rico ’s tricky to categorize kitchen proudly proclaims that they’re not a typical taqueria. “We’re a little silly and a little serious,” it says on the restaurant’s website . The dining experience here is mostly counter service, but you can also opt for the taco omakase that’s offered on weekends. Either way, you’ll want to go into it with excitement and a ravenous appetite for dishes like snapper soup with udon noodles and oyster sauce, golden beet salad brightened with pickled fennel, and duck mole tamal.

Mister Jiu's (San Francisco)

Courtesy of Mister Jiu's

This contemporary Chinese restaurant in San Francisco’s historic Chinatown has won all the awards: The James Beard Foundation named chef-owner Brandon Jew Californa’s best chef in 2022, and Mister Jiu's has been Michelin-starred since 2016, six months after opening. The menu of creatively composed dishes range from plump dumplings stuffed with fresh and dried scallops, Dungeness crab and bamboo fungus, to a family-portion feast of roasted duck. The cocktails are just as beautifully crafted.

Tatiana (New York City)

Courtesy of Tatiana

This grand Lincoln Center restaurant has become one of NYC’s most exciting thanks to Bronx-raised 2019 F&W Best New Chef Kwame Onwuachi's playful imagination. With peerless work coming out of the kitchen, the space itself is one of the city’s most visually compelling. Good luck snagging a reservation, but if you do, just order everything from Onwuachi’s menu, starting with the crab dumplings drenched in a Nigerian red stew to the hearty seafood boil to the juicy pork belly pernil with a red-bean sofrito.

Mosquito Supper Club (New Orleans)

Brie Williams

For chef Melissa Martin, this seafood-focused New Orleans restaurant is an homage to every part of the Cajun culinary tradition, from farmers and shrimpers to grandmas tirelessly putting together Sunday-night suppers. Expect a constantly changing and indulgent set menu that might start with succulent Gulf oysters before moving onto a devotion-inspiring shrimp and okra gumbo, and concluding with crisp-fried soft-shell crabs. Don’t sleep on a crawfish pie chaser.

Plus One: Yellow (Washington, D.C.)

At Yellow , Palestinian-American chef Michael Rafidi (who also operates the Michelin-starred Albi and is a James Beard Award semifinalist) marries Middle Eastern flavors with French pastry techniques. The restaurant opened in 2020 next to its sister restaurant Albi, before expanding to Georgetown two years later, with plans for another location in Union Market later this year. The menu is casual and comforting, with many offerings from Rafidi's childhood, including mezze, hummus, and pita sandwiches that are wood-fired to order.

12 Best Places To Eat In Roanoke, Virginia

Roanoke is best known for its proximity to over 1,000 miles of world-class hiking and biking in the Blue Ridge Mountains , but the culinary scene in this southwest Virginia city is also on the rise. In addition to farm-to-fork dining and craft cocktails, restaurants are churning out locally-made brews, Southern-inspired fare, and organic vegetarian cuisine. The combination of raw talent and proximity to local farms has turned Roanoke into a bona-fide dining destination—one you won’t want to miss.

Here are some of the best restaurants to try on your next visit to Roanoke, in no particular order.

Bloom Restaurant and Wine Bar

If you like vegetables, then you will love the seasonally driven small plates at Bloom, a modern American restaurant and wine bar in the Wasena neighborhood. You might find sautéed spaghetti squash served on a bed of charred hay crème fraiche topped with shaved gouda; sliced beets tossed with hazelnuts and drunken goat cheese; or roasted butternut squash crumbled with pumpkin seed dukkah atop quinoa pilaf. Classic cheese and charcuterie plates pair elegantly with the European-leaning wine menu as do expertly prepared proteins, such as an 18-hour braised beef, which are available in both small and large portions.

Crystal Spring Grocery Co.

This gourmet market cum café with indoor and patio seating is the ideal spot to stock up before or after a hike in the neighboring Blue Ridge Mountains.

Fruits and Roots

The first brick-and-mortar location for this Historic Roanoke City Market vendor is bright and cheerful with a handful of tables inside. Fruits and Roots, an organic eatery, offers cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juices, plant-based treats, smoothies, and bowls. Sample a classic açaí bowl topped with house-made vegan granola or the Nutty Green smoothie blended with bananas, blueberries, spinach, hemp seeds, peanut butter, and almond milk. Don’t forget to grab a pack of organic energy bites or a gluten-free muffin on your way out.

Lucky Restaurant

Ask anyone in Roanoke where to go for a craft cocktail and chances are high, they’ll send you straight to Lucky. For over a decade, this restaurant has built a reputation around its beverages as well as its high-end comfort food. Try a unique concoction from the bar, such as the “Stede Bonnet,” fashioned with Seedlip Grove 42, sorrel, jasmine green tea, green cardamom, adjusted orange, aquafaba, and champagne. The dinner options are just as enticing; a four-course prix fixe menu featuring the likes of fried green tomatoes, roasted bone marrow, and smoked meatloaf, among other dishes.

No reservations are necessary at this casual breakfast standout in historic Grandin Village. Southern-style biscuits are baked from scratch daily and offered with an array of accompaniments, like eggs and sausage, alongside sweet dishes such as French toast and pancakes. Feeling ambitious? Order The Cowboy Crippler, an eight-inch-wide biscuit loaded high with country-fried sausage, beef brisket, pulled pork, hash browns, and cheese.

scratchbiscuit.com , 1820 Memorial Ave SW, Roanoke, VA 24015

This downtown Roanoke gem transports with a European-themed menu and upscale gastropub vibe. You’ll find classic steak frites, tender duck confit, and Normandy-style mussels.

Fire Station One, a boutique hotel housed inside a historic firehouse, offers an intriguing newcomer to Roanoke’s diverse restaurant scene. Stock Café features a Nordic and Scandinavian-themed menu. Think: cocktails produced with lingonberry and Kapsalon, a Dutch fast-food dish assembled with hand-cut fries, chicken shawarma, gouda, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, garlic sauce, and sambal. You’ll also find authentic plates like varieties of Smørrebrød, a traditional Danish open-faced rye bread sandwich; fried pork schnitzel; and whole roasted trout accompanied by potato rösti and crème fraiche.

firestationone.com/stock , 13 Church Ave SE, Roanoke, VA 24011

Visiting Roanoke with children in tow? Head to The Green Goat for a casual lunch or dinner.

The American menu features crowd-pleasers such as wings, waffle fries, and deviled eggs, rounded out with a variety of salads, sandwiches, burgers, and pizzas.

greengoatroanoke.org , 802 Wiley Dr SW, Roanoke, VA 24015

The River and Rail

The River and Rail is a local favorite for traditional Southern fare sourced from the Roanoke and New River Valleys. As you might expect, the menu rotates regularly based on what’s fresh and in season. Begin, for example, with a Virginia oyster wrap sculpted with organic Bibb lettuce, house-made kimchi remoulade, shaved radish, and chives or the applewood smoked heritage pork ribs with sorghum and peanuts. Save room for protein-rich mains, such as wild striped bass or dry-aged duck breast, as well as dessert options like handmade ice creams and sorbet.
