Where To Have Breakfast In Mumbai

This eatery in Colaba, like the city’s many other Irani cafes, has been feeding hundreds of Mumbaikars hearty breakfasts for almost a century. Irani chai paired with bun maska (buttered bread rolls), or akuri (Iranian traditional scrambled eggs) on toast will give you the pick-me-up you desperately need on that Monday morning. For those seeking a hearty, heavy breakfast then the keema pav is lip-smackingly delicious.

Café Madras

If you need nothing short of a cup of hot coffee to wake up, then the city’s many South Indian restaurants will come to your rescue. Café Madras in Matunga has been the city’s favourite joint to grab dosas, idlis and vadas for more than 75 years. There are few better ways to start your morning in this city than by digging into a fresh, hot and crispy masala dosa at Café Madras.

The Breakfast Sandwich at Indigo Deli is what you need for days that seem overwhelming or just too long. With bacon, sausage, emmental cheese, grilled onion and fried egg on a bagel, this delicious sandwich paired with their French-press coffee is nothing short of perfect. If you are looking for something lighter, their other offerings are also worth checking out – the Eggs Benedict here is one of the best in the city.
