Urban Tadka

Urban Tadka is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant serving North Indian cuisine inspired by its proximity to the sea. The seafood is always a hit with the locals, but the visitors tend toward the creamy, saffron-rich vegetable and chicken curries. The ambiance is modern dhaba fusion, serving dishes on traditional metal plates (like they do at roadside eateries) with the flair and vibrancy of a pop-up joint. The cheerful yellow walls and colorful artwork only enhance the vibrancy of these delicious dishes.

The atmosphere of Sukh Sagar can be summed up in two words: eclectic simplicity. The decor is modest and the flatware is mismatched. The reason that locals flock to this joint, whether it’s midnight or noon, is because Sukh Sagar serves the best South Indian food in Mumbai. The balance of masala and citrus in the sambar is perfect.

Food First

Food First puts food first, if you couldn’t tell by their name. Their menu is abundant in diverse Indian foods, boasting the likes of Bengali, Rajasthani and Goan cuisine. The interior decor is absolutely stunning, with sleek low lighting and long wooden tables.

Sasural

Dining at Sasural is like accepting an invitation for the grandest Indian wedding of the decade.
