6. Café Madras

Matunga’s 76-year-old Café Madras is undisputedly one of the city’s most popular restaurants. The quintessential South Indian restaurant started off with a menu of idli, vada, sada dosa, masala dosa, rava dosa, upma and other basic staples, but now serves everything from raagi dosa to appams. The filter kaapi (coffee) is among the best pick-me-ups you can get in the city.

7. Kareem’s

Restaurant, Indian

Mughlai food is never hard to find in Mumbai – even your neighborhood Chinese food joint probably serves a decent range of Mughlai dishes. However, as anyone vouching for Delhi over Mumbai may tell you – it takes decent effort to find good Mughlai food in the city. If you are in Bandra, then Kareem’s is where the juiciest kebabs and the most flavorful biryanis are at. With modest, no-frills décor, cozy lighting and mouthwatering food, this eatery is food paradise for any North Indian food lover.
