Restaurants in Mumbai (Bombay)
Mumbai is India’s foodie capital, and you can find almost anything on the menu, from American burgers and Japanese sushi to Goan curries, Gujarati thalis and Mangalorean seafood. Appropriately for India’s capital of finance, fashion and film, Mumbai is also home to some of India's most exclusive top end restaurants, although prices are seldom easy on the wallet.
Mumbai’s upmarket eateries have comprehensive lists of wine, beer, cocktails and other alcoholic beverages, but as with the rest of India, imported alcohol comes at a price. Locally produced beer, wine and spirits are widely available and very drinkable, as well as being cheaper than imported brands. Cheaper restaurants generally don't serve alcohol owing to expensive liquor licences.
The restaurants below have been grouped into three different pricing categories:
Expensive (over Rs3,000)
Moderate (Rs1,000 to Rs3,000)
Cheap (up to Rs1,000)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one, including half a bottle of house wine or equivalent, tax and service. If service is not included, a 10% tip is welcomed.

Modern European
Housed in a striking colonial bungalow, this is South Mumbai’s most fashionable restaurant.

Moderate
Cuisine:
North Indian
Situated near the High Court, Khyber swims with the rich flavours of the Northwest Frontier. Styled like an Afghan palace, the food is some of the best in town. Most dishes are cooked on the tava or in the tandoor oven and Khyber is famous for its house speciality, raan, a whole leg of slow-cooked lamb. Vegetarians should look elsewhere.
