Best Restaurants in Mumbai (2026)

Mumbai is one of the best food cities in India, and eating well here does not require a large budget. Start with street food at Aram Vada Pav opposite the railway terminus, an unlimited Gujarati thali at Shree Thaker Bhojanalay in Kalbadevi and seekh kebabs at Sarvi in Nagpada. For regional cooking, Jimmy Boy serves the Parsi wedding feast known as lagan nu bhonu, Chaitanya in Dadar specialises in Malvani seafood and Soam near Chowpatty is a reliable vegetarian choice.

At the higher end, Trishna in Kala Ghoda has been a seafood favourite since 1991, The Bombay Canteen and its sister restaurant O Pedro reinterpret Indian and Goan cooking with excellent cocktails, and Masque offers a ten-course tasting menu in a former mill. Book ahead for the popular restaurants, particularly at weekends, but expect queues rather than reservations at the older, cheaper places. Lunch is often the best time to try the classics, and many of the city's best meals are found on the same few streets of the Fort and the mill district, so it is worth planning your eating around your sightseeing.
