Taj Land's End is best for the view and food is good.
Have a great time.

Thanks man! Going for a drive-in movie at BKC followed with dinner at Land’s End.

Hello Mumbaikars, Have a query for a friend. Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this query. A good buddy of mine is moving to Mumbai for a year. Family is not moving since it will be for a short stint. Where do we get good home cooked food. Hes diabetic, but under control so want to limit eating out. Have heard about the dabbawallas, but haven't tried them yet. Will be residing in Sector 19 Airoli. Any leads will be much appreciated.

Another excellent restaurant eatery shutting down sadly. I got this on WhatsApp from a friend. If you’re a fan of Bastian Worli, you may want to catch the event below this Sunday.

I’ve eaten there a couple of times and have generally had a great experience. Disappointed to see it shutting down. Not sure if this is a reflection of how stiff the F&B competition is these days in the Lower Parel area in particular or perhaps might be other reasons for it to shut down.

On the positive, Delhi based Indian Accent has finally gone live in Mumbai. We had a pre launch meal early last week in Mumbai and I have to say, their tasting menu remains spectacular.

Have recently been doing leisurely cycle rides on Sunday mornings with breakfast thrown in. We cycle for about an hour or a little more at decent speeds, have breakfast at some restaurants (ideally new places that we have never been to) and get back home before 10am. All of this is in the Chowpatty to Bandra area. Wanted to share a few spots that we have visited in the last few months:

1. Breve Cafe (Bandra): hole in the wall kind of cafe at the corner of Chapel Road. Food is great, portions are large, but the place itself seems a little run down. They also took quite a long time to serve, I don't know if that is always the case or because we were early birds. Does not have a washroom, which can be a bummer if you have been roaming for a while.

2. Mag St. Cafe (Lower Parel): open cafe with a nice ambience. Has a good range of breads and eggs. Relatively pricey and has something of a four-star hotel feel. Not for those who want to sit in a corner and have private conversations.

3. Cafe Noir (Lower Parel): small, relatively pricey outlet. Personally felt it was just average, nothing different or intriguing about the dishes.

4. Trofima (Dadar): This is a standard restaurant in the heart of Maharashtrian district in Dadar. Food is very reliable, prices are relatively reasonable, and the ambience is typical Mumbai casual dining. I am not sure if it's open for breakfast on all days or only weekends.

5. Plate & Pint (Warden Road): Discovered this place recently. Really enjoyed the breakfast we had here. Some of the dishes are mindblowing - last time we ordered waffles and quinoa poha and both were spectacular. Very courteous and accommodatig staff. Loved it.

Not mentioning the regular Udipi places here as they are all well known and, quite frankly, mostly undistinguishable from each other.

If anyone has breakfast suggestions in the Chowpatty to Bandra belt that we can evaluate, please share.

Hi guys,

I am going to be landing at the Mumbai Central railway station at 12 PM a couple of months from now. I would be taking another train at 4 PM from CST.

I would like to enjoy a good non vegetarian lunch in this vicinity during the time difference between the two trains. Please help me with some recommendations.

Thanks for the ready reckoner list. A related question. Do you manage to get a safe spot for your bicycle in all these places (where its at least within line of sight? I’m assuming none allow it inside but even just outside the door perhaps?

Thanks.
