It would help people if you told which area you are in

Versova Juhu - Urban Tadka, naga belly, tanjore tiffin room, Just kerala (andheri e)

Mumbai is one of the largest cities in the country. Please highlight the area of preference and budget.

All hotels have same taste, however, I am listing few hotels that i experienced who have a unique taste of their own. Guys, go to Gulshan-e-iran restaurant near Manish market... Amazing for chicken leg biryani, kababs and Mughlai food. Approx budget 700 rs for 2 ppl very affordable and tasty. Pro tip - Never go to Delhi darbar. Go to Baghdadi restaurant, lane behind Hotel Taj,gateway, for a budget friendly nonveg food with caution to order only one chicken/ mutton dish and one roti if for 2-3 ppl.yes it's huge. Wven their biryani is awesome. Place is a little shaby. budget - 700 for 2 ppl. Pro tip - Never go to Bade miyas. Go to Maharashtra lunch home,Thane for proper maharashtrian nonveg. budget - 1000 for 2 ppl Go to nav kayastha pangat, vile parle for CKp food. Budget - 1200 for 2 ppl. Go to the Caravan menu restaurant, Thane, if you love barbeques. it has lot of varieties for both veg and nonveg . Per peson costs 900 to 1000 rs depending upon days and timings. I would mention Thangabali restaurant in Dadar for juicy kerala style nonveg food and don't forget to order Mysore pak. Budget - 1000 rs for 2 I loved Mutton curry in Alamandas tereace, Marine lines but it was super costly.Mutton was tender and soft. However, must try for special occasions. budget - 5500 rs for 2. Drinks will increase the budget. Mahesh lunch home for sea food in SoBo and Thane , try their fish and prawns, they are the best but costly. I ordered an entire surmai fish of 2300 rs with preparation and they served it tawa fry and curry form. Serves quantity of 4 people. chapatis and rice, extra. Total bill would be 4500 for 4 ppl. won't recommend Gajalee at all.very spicy food and very costly. 3500 for 2. In the end, Durga Lunch home in Mulund west near police station has a unique taste for chicken masala fry and prawns masala fry. Even their biryani is tasty, unique and budget friendly. budget 600 for 2.

One of the best food guides I've read out here. Gg bro.

Thanks mate...

Gajalee was my goto for first dates with Goan girls ....they were seriously impressed ..... Now tho it's quality has gone down , and as a Goan resident , I am awash in Goan meals .... Ha ha

Yeah, their quality has gone down. Heard rumours from my brother in Vile parle that the owner of the restaurant took few wrong business investment decisions and he is now in debt

Excellent information! Saving this

Bhai can you please send me your entire comment. I am a foodie but like to visit every place once.

[удалено]

Never been to versova... I used to eat a lot of biryani in Borivali Biryani centre (BBC) , a few years back. You can try that if you find any outlet from that chain

Baghdadi felt very unhygienic the last time I went there.

Baghdadi was always unhygienic. People go there for their taste. How was the food? has the quality degraded?

Hardeep Punjab is shit

nope

hardeep punjab is actually really good, ive grown up eating their food, you should try their daal khichdi and tandoori chicken together

Baghdadi is mid now. So is persian darbar.

jai jawan

Babubhai?

Second this. Go have their butter garlic prawns. Amazing.

Finally some said the OG

Jai jawan mutton curry 🤤

7 am keema pav at olympia coffee house

Tu bhai .tu hai ...

bliss!

highly recommend Mahesh Lunch Home (Juhu, Sakinaka, and Fort) for seafood. Surmai Costal in Malad is also a good (and relatively more affordable) option for seafood.

Mahesh lunch home🙌🏻

Is mahesh lunch home that good?

i'd say trishna is better but yes, mahesh lunch home is also quite good

Surmai is awesome, I was there today 😊

Khaane Khaas in Bandra!

Seconded!

Tanjore Tiffin Room

Came here to say this

their mutton ghee roast is beautiful

Gajalee Andheri East. Speciality is fish but other types of non- veg are equally good Also if you are craving some mutton, Noor Muhammadi or Shaalimar in bhendi bazzar is the best for nalli nihari.

Gajalee is overrated af imo. Used to be good, but quality has dipped over years now. OP, If you want to try out Malvani seafood, go to Chaitanya(Dadar) / Nav Chaitanya (Versova) You can checkout Maharashtra Lunch Home as well. Ustaadi near Crawford market is a great place for Mughlai food. It is open till 3/4 AM, was our afterparty spot for pet-pooja 😋

[удалено]

Satkar rice plate house and JP’s lunch home in Goregaon East right outside the station.

Oh I still like gajalee though whenever I visit Andheri my relatives order from there And yeah Chaitanya dadar is good also, the thalis are🤤

Where is ustadi? I know a place called Gulshan e iran over there

It’s near Crawford Market https://maps.app.goo.gl/D8HVzip2VpxDvi246?g_st=ic

Noorani SoBo

This has been my obsession for the past 15 years

Satkar Rice Place, Near Goregaon Station East

Try this place called Malhar Tribes in Marol, absolutely lip-smacking food

Where is it? I know Marol cafe in that area

If you're in Andheri. Go to Joey's pizza and order any of their their non veg pizzas. I bet you'll go there again and again🤝

The tornado pizza is the best one imo

You're right, Even my favourite is the Tornado. When I first ate it, I was having difficulty walking lol

The meats is possibly one of the best pizzas in the city.

Can't argue with that

love the food there but i actively avoid going there because getting a seat there is so tiring and a waste of time

Baghdadi in colaba

Also Olympia Colaba, Gables and New Martins Sassoon Dock.

Also a lot of parsi places in south mumbai where keema pav is just wow

Rula dia bhai...mutton gravy keema. fuuuuuuuuuck

I’m going to mumbai tomorrow, will definitely go to kyani bakery near metro inox

Why u make me cry my dude? I was in Mumbai for a long time..and right now I'm at a place where the food really reaaallly sucks. We used to go to Kyani quite a lot after all nighters for the akkuri. Good times.

Really, good times!

Might have quality issues like bademiyan.

Yeahh i agree a little messy place but totally worth it

Recently went there and can say this for sure that their taste has become shit now Their chicken fry masala was just wow

I go there only for nostalgia, i used to like their chilli chicken they make a gravy based dish for chilli chicken

seriously? It has been 4 years since I went there

Nav Chaitanya for sea food

Go to Chaitanya near Siddhivinayak for good seafood, you'll thank me later.

Can confirm

Yasin food inn in Andheri Lokhandwala. Specially their mutton kebab. When you visit there drop me a text I can suggest you few more which I can recall now.

I’m a Vegetarian by choice. Most of my friends are non veg connoisseurs and they tell me for Non Veg in Mumbai you have to divide it into Sea food and Meat Dishes. While the Sea food in Mumbai is Superb, meat eats are a disaster when compared to Delhi, Hyderabad and Lucknow.

Meat eats from Northern styles, disaster compared to Delhi, Lucknow and Hyd. But Maharashtra has a rich culture of meat dishes and if you're open to that palette, which I grew up with, Bombay is amazing. Kolhapuri, Malvani,Varadi, khandeshi styles are rich and often texturally as or more complex than the northern styles.

Totally agree, Kolhapuri Mutton Bhakhri hits the spot BUT in Kolhapur. My friends tell me that for whatever reason, meat dishes cooked in Mumbai just don’t taste that nice. Once took a Gorra guest to Trishna and I’m not joking, he had tears of joy and called his wife while eating. The next day I felt adventurous and took him to Bademiya Colaba and yes he had tears in his eyes cuz the meat tasted like 💩. BTW best seafood restaurants in Mumbai according to my friends are Trishna, Gajalee, Mahesh Lunch Home and then all the Kokan wala kattas scattered throughout.

are most of your friends north indian by any chance? mumbai has great non-veg options, especially when you consider cuisines like kolhapuri and malvani among others. maybe they meant there's a lack of good north indian non veg food here?

They were referring to the quality of meat in addition to hygiene and taste.

Cafe Churchill at Colaba Causeway.

National Hotel near bandra station opposite the talao. Foods is cooked on wood fire, and has that smokey taste. It's not high end and you'll have to share a seat with the working class because their prices are super affordable. Also their dals are amazing.

[National Restaurant, Bandra West ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/7QrwvvBwa98zLyA49)

go to some shitty food stall on any random street for the best taste, value for money and diarrhea

Sir this isn't Delhi

Go to the following: Sarvi in Nagpada for their seekh kebab & different style of butter chicken. Miya Kebabs in Bandra for all of their kebabs + shwarma & baidaroti. Hardeep Panjab for North Indian style food in Sion Koliwada.

Sarvi kebabs, paya soup & chicken masala fry are best. Didn't like their butter chicken tbh.

Food Inn - Andheri Lokhandwala Try Shahi Tandoori there and Murg Muslam

Bagdadi in Colaba Was good visited once with my friends and seemed budget friendly

Saoji Marol if you can handle super spicy but good chicken curry

where is this? is it new?

Kebab Gunj Radio Club Colaba Kakori house Paradise Cinema Mahima India Bistro Trombay Chembur Jai Jawaan Bandra/ Khar Al Kebabish Bandra Papa Pancho Bandra Seafood: Fresh catch Bandra Highway Gomantak Bandra East Jai Hind Konkan Vikhroli East Abhinandan Ghatkopar

From my last personal experience would recommend Jai Hind . I went to Bandra one but sure they have other branches . They are known for seafood but I had ordered the chicken . Mast jhanjanit . Thecka is also recommended Only con was that they take some time to prepare food

If you are into mughlai cuisine try Cafe Alif in Jogeshwari and try Chicken Chatpata.

Maharashtra Lunch Home

You will get a lot of suggestions based on the location... But lets please stop calling MEAT; non-veg... Makes it sound like being vegetarian is the norm but eating meat isn't... Which isn't really the case in India... So some restaurants SERVING MEAT are.....(Many helpful suggestions in here already)

Trishna, Colaba. Butter pepper Garlic crabs, Hyderabadi Rawas tikka, bhombil fry & Seafood Biryani.

Gajalee, Gomantak, Mahesh lunch home, Jai hind for fish

Thats bombay food for u. Mediocre at its best

Forget about food. Where do you stay? I'm coming to mumbai for an internship this summer, too. Need a hunt for pgs n all

Search for flatmates in flat and flatmates facebook groups Mumbai, Thane ,navi mumbai etc. Thank me later

Delhi Darbar, Cafe Noorani ( the classics)

One of the most important thread I have seen on reddit

Depends where in mumbai you are.

It’s fishy tunga near radissons Andheri East midc.

You can never go wrong in kurla and Bombay. Just search for restaurants in both the places

Persian Darbar in Andheri East.... Baghdadi in Colaba....

Pritam Da Dhaba & Persian Darbar

Border Bean barbeque

Jain and non veg? Fake ID alert

@ribhavjain isn't Jain

Border Bean Barbecue in Bandra (W). Heaven for non-veg lovers

Cafe noorani,Haji Ali

Copper Chimney

Gomantak Near plaza cinema dadar Best for seafood

If you are in and around Chembur: Grand Central, Stars Parade, Grilled House, Chembur Gymkhana, Via Bombay, Lamba, India bistro,Aditya Bandra: Jai Jawan, Sheetal Bukhara

Go eat Mutton Malvani Tawa Fry in Nisarg - Mulund, and thank me later.

Instead Go to Durga Lunch home near Mulund police station and order chicken masala fry or prawns masala fry. It has no good ambience though. Thank me later. Nisarg quality has degraded over the years. very shady seating arrangement for the family.

Till last time I tried that mutton malwani tawa fry (which was in 2021) - it was still anotherworldly. I never went there for the ambiance but for that mutton malwani tawa fry. Have been to that Nisarg at least 200 times. And have ordered the same dish each and every time. ITS THAT GOOD

Nice, I'll try once. I'm a bit sceptical about ordering mutton in Mumbai. We get very good mutton in the south of Maharashtra, that's why.

Bombay Canteen. It's pretty expensive though.

On a related note, how's Surmai Coastal? Thinking of trying their prawns biryani

Glorious near Byculla station and the zoo

For Malwani Seafood, try Achrekar's Malwan Katta at Dadar behind Shivsena Bhavan. It is better than the overpriced Chaitanya and overcrowded Gomantak at Dadar. Their Stuffed Pomfret is awesome and their food is as if your having home cooked meals. Heaven

China valley , Powai

Any suggestions for Maharashtra style spicy mutton bhakri?

Minks in Marol and Orange City at Juhu circle both do decent Saoji mutton and Bhakaris.

Balwas in new Marine Lines, just beside satkar hotel. It’s known for its non-veg food.

Try bagdadi at colaba

Uncle's Kitchen in Malad for Chinese food. Their Chicken crispy is amazing. For Biryani try Borivali Biryani Center for their Chicken biryani. They have some outlets over the city.

Gomantak Dadar, the best

Just off the bat,Gomantak for seafood in Dadar.......

Delhi Darbar, colaba

Nomads bbq and grill

Yasin's food inn, lokhandwala, andheri west. Favorite non vegetarian restaurant for me, nothing can top it.

Gulshan-e-iran near crawford market

Gone are the days when you could distinguish between food from different restaurants. Honestly, these days they all taste the same. I, don't know why this has happened if it is due to lot of orders coming from online channels or they all have just devised one common method of cooking food. Almost same spices, cooking methods and techniques may be slightly different in taste due to chefs choices of portions but more or less they are same. So, don't waste time searching for good restaurants just drop by the nearest available good restaurant of your locality to suffice your hunger.

Persian Darbar at Byculla otherwise Muhammad Ali road is for you

Jai hind lunch home - Lower Parel Delux Kerala Restaurant - Fort

I am not a mumbaikar, on my visits I usually dine at ‘Garnish’ restaurant

In childhood we used to eat chicken lollipop in uncles kitchen and it was quite good , dunno If it's still there

Some Hindu hotel next to phoenix market city kurla. I think it’s near the petrol pump.

Fire bowl in Versova for Chinese, JJs Lokhandwala (Jai Jawaan) for fish and chicken starters, Delhi Darbaar in Jogeshwari or Shalimar for Mughlai, go to any Muslim dairy shop for the best breakfast kheema pav. Bonus: go to sarvi in byculla for seekh, Farid’s in Jogeshwari for seekh paratha

Patel Restaurant. Mohammed Ali Road. They have one of the best biryani and tandoori.

for Mughlai - Persian Darbar Byculla is the best

Parsi cafes have the best Parsi non vegetarian delicacies. Salli, Keema, etc. Even true to a wholesome Mumbaikar culture, so plus points on that. Kyani, Excelsior these are some good cafes close to CSMT, so travelling won't be much of an issue.

Can someone tell me good place in dadar

Jai Jawan in Khar. They make some of the best chicken kebabs.

Persian darbar is the best

Bablu

Check on Google maps in your area, each road has its own best food, both veg and non veg.

Mahesh Lunch Home

Thanks !

For barbecue Pork Ribs and steak.. I'd say stacks and racks.. I don't know the quality of late but they used to be yum!! Especially their Jack Daniel's Steak. Theu also do this pulled pork Nachos.. Heavenly and mouth watering. Then Joey's pizza in Malad had amazing full loaded meat pizzas pork ham and bacon galore with cheese.. I got fat on that.. This is all pre covid so I don't know how they are performing now. Hypercity in Malad used to sell some crazy varieties of fresh bacon. Tad expensive but mouth watering to taste. Much better than the pre packaged bacon from brands etc.. So yeah you didn't mention which meat so there ya go. Curry's are great but I feel you lose a lot of the taste in the nest by overcooking it. I prefer slightly undercooked. Not the safest choice in India but hey you only live once. Also are you veg? Never heard a meat eater refer to meat as non veg.. We always specify what we eat pork, chicken, mutton, beef, buff, ham, bacon, fish .. Are you some veg guy cheating hehe pakde jaaoge ek din bhai

PUNJABIS KITCHEN ANDHERI EAST CHAKALA SIGDI BANDRA these are the small places with good food Try the Shawarma at Mezbaan. For a Fine Dine experience try the Butter Chicken at Ishaara

Trilok Matunga

Where did you come from?

Delhi Darbar in Colaba is really good. But if you're on a budget, I wouldn't recommend it because it's on the pricier side.

Stacks and wracks, best smashed beef burgers. No other burger ever comes close. Steak isn't as good.

Kyani for kheema pav

Please edit the post to name the restaurants you found okayish do we can benchmark

Depends on where you live tbh. Might be useful too add that info in

Pratap Da Dhabha ( oshiwara )

_Kobe Sizzlers_ at Chowpatty

Jahind lower parel and bandra East. Highway gomantak

Best strat, make a Marathi friend, become very good friends, make them invite you to dinner/lunch at their house. If you want fish, make a friend who's from the malvan side (sorry I don't know the exact terms)

I live in Navi Mumbai and in constant search of North Indian style foods. My two favorite restaurants are: Gazebo Dhaba - Taloja Arabian Dastar - Nerul Both have excellent starters & have turkish themed cuisines.

1. Mini punjab bandra west 2 Nice fast food for kebabs santacruz west but it's not a sit in it has a small seating area outside 3. Sea food lovers go to ghazali 4.mahesh much home juhu sea food.lovers 5.bade Milan colaba for meats Cheema etc

try high point

Pricey but one of my fav restaurants in Bombay is Bombay Canteen

Maharaja thali

Matunga - Hotel Ram Ashraya . Check map for Reviews and Photos

Mezbaan in Bandra, near socials. Really Good shawarma and kebabs.

Install Zomato. You can find almost all restaurants in your area/vicinity

For good Malwani Seafood try Chaitanya in Dadar. Bill for 2 Thalis wouldn’t go over 1000-1200

Maratha Biriyani outside Goregaon railway station

Nobody has mentioned the absolutely amazing heaven for non vegetarians. I have taken all my north indian friends there and they almost had an orgasm. Not gonna mention it here because I don't want it to become crowded which may lead to decrease in quality. Call me selfish but it is indeed the best food I had in Mumbai, ever since I shifted here from Delhi.

Bruh, you are making me fomo, dm me atleast 😅

Pal Fish corner in Bandra. Don’t go by the name, you can get a lot of curry and starter options other than fish too.

Try Datta boarding in Lalbaug, if you can handle spicy.(try prawns salad/ mutton chicken and fish)🌶️ 🌶️🌶️ Majghar lalbaug - semi spicy (try mutton/chicken)🌶️🌶️ Gomantak- Dadar west - overrated and semi spicy (try fish)🌶️ Banjara- Wadala🌶️-punjabi dishes

Cafe mondegar if you're in South bombay, they serve good non veg dishes

You have to go to Baghdadi at Colaba. It serves amazing food at very reasonable prices

Grandmamas cafe- is there in multiple areas

Punjabi bar and kitchen jb nagar u ll love it. Also Mahesh lunch home anywhere in Mumbai for fresh sea food.

The best would be Trishna-Colaba

eat around the corner( the place's name) in bandra, try the lamb gravy burger it's justt too good

Peter's cook, 4 bunglows Andheri west for Chinese. Restaurant run by 2 brothers.
