A kilometer or two from Colaba Causeway lies Swati Snacks, a Mumbai stalwart and a great place to try the city's street food in clean, air-conditioned, somewhat canteen-style environs. Most popular are its chaat dishes (a smorgasbord of crunchy, creamy, spicy, sweet dishes), but you can venture further afield by ordering homely Gujarati fare from under the traditional specialities section of the menu.
If you find the time, try the original Swati Snacks in Tardeo.
Sitting behind the Taj Mahal Hotel for generations, Mumbai's most famous kebab joint is always packed, always greasy, and always tasty. Even though there's a strictly vegetarian section of the menu, you'll probably want to check out mutton seekh roll (succulent minced mutton kebab folded into a roti), the chicken baida roti (a sort of Indian quesadilla, with chicken and egg), or the more adventurous bheja fry (fried goat brains in a spicy gravy).
Classic no-frills North Indian food draws many Middle Eastern vacationers to this eatery; it also has outlets throughout the United Arab Emirates, though this one's the flagship. It's loud and bustling—not the place for a romantic dinner—but the real reason to come is the top-quality chicken and mutton.
