3 Best Restaurants in Mumbai, India

Step in for a moment of quietude at this stylish coffee shop (named for its location in the century-old building, Kitab Mahal) that doubles as a co-working space. Don’t miss the community nights here---they include anything from wine tastings to movie screenings.

Araku's food is fashionably cuisine-agnostic and made from organic and regenerative local farms, but we'd recommend stopping by for its excellent coffee. Its sleek coffee bar sits at the head of the restaurant and offers everything from cortado and espresso, to cool, fizzy caffeine brews served with lots of ice.

You’ll have to navigate Bandra’s warren of lanes on foot to reach The Lovefools---the perfect way to prime your appetite for Chef Sarita Pereira’s experimental cooking (her influences swing from Scandinavian to Japanese to Indian). The bonus is that you can sit in air-conditioned comfort in an old-fashioned heritage bungalow in Bandra or eat alfresco in its charming little courtyard, a rare pleasure in Mumbai.
