Mumbai Restaurants And Streets- A Treat To Your Taste Buds

I am a hardcore non vegetarian- almost a fanatic when it comes to gorging on the brilliantly stewed steak and freshly prepared chicken.  For years I have lived with an unsatisfying appetite for chicken and steak, but now that I have shifted to Mumbai, life seems spectacular. Yes, yes, it’s the food I am talking about. The Non-Vegetarian delights, to be more particular!

If there is one thing that I have learned about Mumbai, then it is its magnetizing power to galvanize the non-vegans. I ended up ravaging my taste buds (well, almost) whilst trying the tenderloin steak of every single outlet that ever promised to offer the best tenderloin steak in Chandigarh. And still nothing could quell the spewing penchant to have the best steak – literally the best. And then Smoke House Deli, Mumbai happened.


Smoke House Deli revs up the taste buds through its delectable menu that is littered with some of the coolest non-vegetarian dishes. It is also the one stop destination for binging on Smoked food in Mumbai. If you have been running a marathon to dig up the best restaurant for smoked food in Mumbai, please stop and rest; Smoke House Deli will the rest for you.

Mumbai has been kinder than I thought. Not only did its delectable restaurants cast a spell, its street food put my taste buds on a dance. I couldn’t help but smack my lips at the very sight of Pani Puri and Bhel puri. There is something about Mumbai’s street food that sets it apart from what the normal street joints offer. It’s fresh and the garnishing is creative. If decked up restaurants are not a cup of your tea or coffee, you can just visit a nearby market and satisfy your appetite with the spicy golgappas and bhel puri!

Home Bars And Designs

Turning unused space in a bar??? If so, seems to be a great idea and if not, then it is advised to plan something innovative instead of having usual space. Be it an imitation of Mumbai bars or replication of having food like smoked food in Bangalore, the bottom line is that you should feel good about it! Well, having least said, follow up makes a mention of different set up that can be finalized from while having a home bar:

It’s no hard and fast rule that you must have a specific set up in your home bar; you can be as creative and imaginative as you want. There are umpteen options to choose from and you will come across while searching:

Outdoor Wet Bar: you can always use your imagination and cross the boundaries. No matter how small is your house, you can always use it effectively. Yes, likewise to those innovatively constructed bungalows, you can also set up you own small bar in the backyard or patio area. Teaming it up with an inbuilt barbecue would serve the purpose well. Apart from this, just ascertain to the fact that arrangements are taken care of.

Lighting Options: instead of making it too gorgy to handle, try and have a low-lit ambience so as to create perfect setting. Do not forget the better your bar is lit, the more it will add-on to the fun and style element. Bright and vibrant spotlights may kill the lively essence.
Countertop-concept: if you do not have a spacious area for bar, no worries! Still you can add-in perfection to your bar, for which granite countertop has to be accredited. Apart from this, you have every reason to replicate the acclaimed designs of bars in Mumbai.

What to eat while in Mumbai

While in Mumbai, never miss out on anything. Well, that’s the melody that I have practically crammed; because Mumbai spoils you with choices, quite literally. While many people call Mumbai ruthless, I would aggressively digress. Okay, it might be polluted and terribly crowded. But it takes care of your needs, specially your eating needs like no other Indian City. There are restaurants in Mumbai, and then there are some best restaurants in Mumbai, too.

Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, Mumbai never fails to surprise. With a never ending slew of some absolutely breathtaking restaurants coming up every other month, the consumers are as good as pushed into a dilemma. Take Baba Ling’s Ling Pavilion in Colaba, for instance which is a Chinese restaurant.

Or wait, correction- It’s one of the most authentic and distinct Chinese restaurant that produces the most authentic and distinct Chinese restaurant. Be its pork soup dumplings, pepper prawns or chilli garlic pomfret or even eggs Benedict that are hard to find anywhere else, everything is equally lip smacking and tongue ravaging.

The next stop, again, can be a tough deal. Even while writing this, I feel slightly baffled! What to write about next?

Probably Sindhudurg at Sena Bhavan. If you ever face a craving to have the best Breakfast spiked with all the typical Maharashtrian elements, Sindhudurg is the place to be. Masalas are freshly brewed and the food has the exquisite element to it. In vegetarian and Non vegetarian both, you will be blessed with ample choices.

If you wish to pamper yourself with a royal ambience, try The Sahib room. It’s an upscale fine dine that would leave you marvelling at its lavish aura. The food is terrific, and creatively cooked. No decoration drama, rather the flavours are tampered with, and for good too!

The list of divine restaurants in Mumbai is eternal, and immortal. The chase to find the best among the best, that even rules out the posh restaurants of Vasant Kunj, the will leave out panting for breath!

Evening Delights :Hot Momos With Tea

So there I was in the middle of my random wanderings which have become a lot more frequent than before. Just out of nowhere, I realized I had ignored my hunger pangs way too long and the sudden craving for food was not unwarranted.

Luckily, I was blessed to be passing by one of the most popular destinations for food in Delhi. Though the place is not entirely familiar to me, I had heard a lot about restaurants in Khan Market being one the hottest of all eatery settings Delhi hosts.

Of course, a lot of it had to do with my old friend Rahul boasting of restaurants in Hauz Khas for a personal fetish for meat and I not being very comfortable his ways of devouring into flesh. Nevertheless, our friendly banters had made us challenge each other on knowledge of local places and in only a few months after meeting at college, we had started hitting it off together and discovering new palates and places to eat.




I stepped out the car and made way up a very small joint selling steaming hot momos. The tiny restaurant in Khan Market had all it takes to be a hotspot except may be ambience.  But for food explorers like me, such places are the best bet for their flavours and the feel of the city.

I had a plateful of those little veg delights arranged neatly in an ordeal fashion, each resting side to side like little white angels. The fiery red sauce spread casually on the sides, interspersed with a bit of white mayonnaise was the perfect blend.

As around the cup of hot tea, shooting off a strong aroma of cardamom based masala, the mini-meal was complete. And it was Rahul standing next to me, grinning ear to ear at us bumping into each other, the reason for which was our shared love for food.

Burger Bonanza

Busting a myth most humbly, I would begin by saying, a foodie is not known by a big belly they can’t help but by the number of eateries they have visited and explored in their most sacred food quest. It is a marvel in true terms  when they know, how best fit is pakoda’s for rains with chutney or a smoked lamb burger with lots of cheese, perennially  with of course the obvious knowledge of the best joints and restaurants which serves these in the entire city.

Walking to the metro, munching in office or enjoying your favorite TV show, burger in Delhi is a national food, bewitching and delightful. Apart from it being convenient to carry around, you can pick the ingredients, to savor it accordingly. If calories bother you, prepare it the healthy way. Since my calorie count permits me, my personal prized is a smoked lamb burger, possibly one of the driving forces in my life after kebabs. After evident exaggerations, I can’t help confessing even the mention takes me down the memory lane when I was still treating myself to Delhi and its ways and food.








Before moving to Delhi, I did hear volume about its street food with golgappas and burger topping the chart. Burger in Delhi is a merry mix of desi vada pav and hamburger from Germany. As interesting as it sounds, so its flavors do not fail you. Something as simple and cheap as that, has become my share of happiness during my stay in town. Delhi in general always offers something or the other to its dwellers, the warmth of its people is reflected deeply in the taste this city offers. More than its palatability, the city’s food is the first mnemonic I have registered to my memory, the first encounter I had with the place.

Visit Khan Market And Hauz Khas For Some Real Taste!



If you are one those people who seeks solace in the refreshingly dingy lanes of Hauz Khas and Khan Market- congratulations, you have a brilliantly classy taste.

Yes, the streets are dingy and dark, and the roads muddied with pebbles and dirt. Yet, Hauz Khas and Khan Market are considered to be the most elite markets of Delhi. Wonder why? Plan out a weekend getaway at any of its restaurant, and you would surely get your answer.
