Mumbai is the city of dreams. You find people from all walks of life. From the person selling stationary in the local trains to the nouveau riche flashing the latest gizmos to the yuppie in town. And catering to each of these segments, one finds a variety of places to satisfy the rumble in the tummy!
From the down right cheap to the exhorbitant! From the vada-pav to the champagne and the caviar; the quick-bite dosa place to the elaborate Sunday brunches! From the quintessential Udupi restaurants in Matunga to the hospitality of the Renaissance...You've got it all! And each of these promise to ensure that you experience a spectrum of fine dining experiences...to satisfy your taste-buds!
I have picked a few of my personal favorites in the city and beyond! If you are culinary aficionado, read on!
Bade Miaan - One cannot discuss food joints in Mumbai and ignore this place! It is THE ultimate place for the non-vegeterian! Don't let yourselves be fooled by its nondescript look and feel. Sandwiched in an alley between the Taj and Regal Cinema, it would come across as yet another road-side joint in Mumbai. Yes! You don't have to read that again. Topping the list is a road-side joint. The only small difference that you would notice is the barrage of cars that are parked here. A Lexus, Ford, Lancer or a Accord wouldn't be out of place here. This in itself speaks volumes about the place. It arguably serves the most lip-smacking food in town...and remains open until the early hours of the morning! So if you happen to party in the Taj or anywhere in town for that matter, head to this place.
Suggestions:
Chicken Baida Roti
Chicken Bhuna with Rumaali Roti
Location: Next to the Taj Hotel, behind Regal Cinema - Colaba
