  • 1. Apoorva

    $$ | Fort

    If you're searching for an authentic seafood "lunch home"—which implies unpretentious, tasty, and cheap—this old-school Kala Ghoda mainstay is spot on: slightly dingy, full of locals, with a too-cold a/c section that smells faintly of mothballs. Whichever main dish you choose, order an accompaniment of neer dosa---they are a little like rotis, but much lighter and fluffier, and made of rice; most Konkan restaurants have them, but none do them better than Apoorva.

    S.A. Brelvi Marg, Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400001, India
    22-2287--0335

    Known For

    • King prawn gassi (spicy gravied prawn dish)
    • Prawn or fish rawa fry, an Apoorva specialty
    • Local kane fish smothered in Mangalorean spices and deep-fried to a crisp
  • 2. Britannia & Co.

    $ | Andheri

    At this old, dingy, and terribly atmospheric Irani restaurant, the nearly nonagarian and charming owner, Boman Kohinoor, has an obsession with the British royal family and thus pictures of royalty grace the restaurant's peeling walls. When he chants—and he will—"fresh lime soda sweet to beat the Mumbai heat!" you will order just that, but it's the chicken or mutton berry pulao, with rice, chicken, gravy, and dried fruit, that will keep you coming back (and perhaps Boman telling you and your companion that you resemble Prince William and Princess Kate).

    Strott Rd., Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400001, India
    22-2261–5264

    Known For

    • Chicken and mutton berry pulao---it's the only place you'll find it
    • Local bombil fish fried the Parsi way
    • The old-fashioned interiors

  • 3. Kebab Korner

    $$$ | Churchgate

    Though they don't come cheap, the succulent kebabs at this hotel restaurant are perfect for those who don't want to risk Delhi belly (yes, even in Mumbai it's called that) at a hygienically challenged late-night spot. Elegant and subdued, with excellent waitstaff, the restaurant's only drawback is the minimum 25-minute wait for your food—but good things take time, and the chicken seekh kebabs (ground chicken and spices), Chilean sea bass served in a green hariyali (spinach and mint) masala, and the chicken pahadi kebab (chunks of saffron-tinged chicken topped with egg whites) are worth the wait.

    135 Marine Dr., Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400001, India
    22-3987–9999

    Known For

    • Tasty kebabs
    • Chilean sea bass
    • Long wait

  • 4. Soam

    $$ | Marine Drive

    This extremely popular restaurant is always likely to be packed with chattering families and friends, but the service is brisk and you'll soon get a seat amid the pale yellow walls, wooden benches, and loud aunties. Although most of the menu here is traditional Gujarati and Kathiawadi food, some dishes offer a modern take on the classics.

    Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400006, India
    22-2369–8080

    Known For

    • Panki (paper-thin pancakes folded into banana leaves and steamed)
    • Fada ni khichdi (broken wheat saturated with ghee)
    • Spinach and cheese samosas

  • 5. India Jones

    $$$ | Nariman Point

    Though the name implies something quite different, this restaurant actually serves Pan-Asian food and attracts a mix of couples and families out for a special occasion. A bubbling pond with wooden statues greets customers to an interior decked out with traditional Asian accoutrements—mini yellow catamaran sails over the lights, giant Japanese orchids, and various Asian scripts on the walls.

    Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400021, India
    22-6632–6330

    Known For

    • Malaysian beef tenderloin satay
    • Da long xai (ginger-flavored, wok-fried lobster with water chestnuts and asparagus)
    • Delicious all-you-can-eat dim sum lunch menu

  • 6. Mahesh Lunch Home

    $$ | Fort

    Somewhere between Apoorva and Trishna—geographically as well as atmospherically—Mahesh is a legendary Fort seafood restaurant (but can't compare with Ankur) that attracts the office-lunch crowd as well as packing them in during the evenings. Some of the character was stripped out of the place after it decided to go upscale, and the floor-to-ceiling marble might be a bit much, but the traditional Mangalorean seafood dishes are reliably good.

    8--B Cawasji Patel St., Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400001, India
    22-6695–5559

    Known For

    • Clam and squid sukha (dry masala)
    • Fish gassi, made with local fish of your choice
    • Neer dosa (paper-fine flatbreads)

  • 7. Natural

    $ | Churchgate

    Serving the best ice cream in town, Natural—which has the taste of Indian malai (sweets so creamy they're almost like cheese)—seems to be everywhere. All of the ice cream is made with fresh fruit or nuts, and contains no preservatives; highly recommended are the tender coconut, roasted almond, or seasonal Indian fruit flavors like cinnamon-tinged chikoo (a caramel-flavored fruit also known as sapodilla), custard apple, or mango.

    137 Marine Dr., Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400001, India
    22-2202–7426

    Known For

    • Being open until midnight
    • Fruit-flavored ice creams
    • Chocolate chip ice cream

  • 8. Suzette Creperie & Cafe

    $ | Nariman Point

    India's French influence might be strongest in sunny Pondicherry, on the east coast, but with two Frenchmen at the helm, this tiny crepe joint can provide a taste of it right here in Mumbai (branches have blossomed across Mumbai, including in Bandra and Powai). Try the Méditerranée, with grilled chicken, olive tapenade, mozzarella, and tomatoes, or the Italie, with arugula, a tomato coulis, mozzarella, and oregano, or build your own crepe from an extensive list of ingredients.

    Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400021, India
    22-2641–1431

    Known For

    • Nutella crepes
    • Cheerful atmosphere
    • Buckwheat crepes from Britanny
  • 9. The Pantry

    $ | Fort

    Under the same ownership as Woodside Inn, this restaurant dispenses with the pubby atmosphere to focus on simple, rustic cuisine using local ingredients. The food is excellent and reasonably priced considering how refined it is, and although it'd be nice if it had a wine license—the white interiors, open kitchen, and general atmosphere all scream "wine bar"—the excellent baked goods and mains more than make up for the lack of booze.

    Military Sq. La., Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400001, India
    22-2270–0082

    Known For

    • Healthy breakfast options
    • Delightful baked goods
    • Fairly accommodating of gluten-free diners

    Rate Includes: No dinner
  • 10. Trishna

    $$ | Fort

    Although most of the items on Trishna's seafood menu are of respectable quality, you'd be remiss not to order the much-vaunted butter garlic crab---even if that was all this legendary Kala Ghoda restaurant served, it'd be full year-round. The succulent crab is available in myriad treatments—with Indian and Western spices, green hariyali masala, black (spicier) Hyderabadi masala—and Trishna maintains the quality that's made it a favorite with tourists for more than 30 years.

    7 Rope Walk La., Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400001, India
    22-2261–4991

    Known For

    • The butter garlic crab and its brethren the squid and prawn
    • One of the few seafood restaurants that has an alcohol menu
    • Prawns koliwada

  • 11. Vetro

    $$$ | Nariman Point

    Granted, Mumbai is not exactly known for its carbonara, so the bar isn't set too high, but Vetro could stack up against Italian food in any moderately sized American city. And if you're in the mood for a break from spicy food, this minimalist chic restaurant is perfect, with its wide variety of salads, pastas, and antipasti. Known for: sophisticated ambience; well-curated wine list; tight but delicious selection of Italian cheese

  • 12. Ziya

    $$$$ | Nariman Point

    Opened in 2010, Ziya quickly shot to the very forefront of Indian cuisine, and although other modern, more traditionally minded restaurants (like Neel) have taken its place at the top of the heap, it remains one of the most exciting restaurants to hit India in ages. Here, traditional Indian flavors receive nouvelle cuisine treatment from chef Vineet Bhatia, the first Indian chef to win Michelin stars.

    Nariman Point, Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400021, India
    22-3348–7783

    Known For

    • The tasting menu
    • Dramatic view of the Queen's Necklace
    • The Ziya cocktails
