Mumbai is supposedly full of noise and crowds -; but you can find a really tranquil corner when you know where to look for it, such as a classy fine dining restaurant.
Mumbai is a city of many contradictions. Where there is a lot of noise and surging crowds, there are also stunning beaches and a well-regulated local train network. But every so often, you feel the urge to get away from the chaos and retreat into a quiet corner. The problem is: are there any quiet corners in Mumbai?
There certainly are - and you can go there by yourself or with your friends or loved ones. Just pick from one of the best restaurants in Mumbai and relax in their tranquil surroundings. Here's where you can go:
1 The Great Wall. Mumbai sure loves its Chinese food. And when it is prepared in an authentic fashion and served in majestic surroundings, there's no keeping anyone away from their dim sums and dumplings! Go to The Great Wall for the most succulent Chinese fare. It is located inside The Leela Mumbai and it is one of the best restaurants in Mumbai for Chinese food[1]. You can eat your way through a lot of Asian food that you would not find so lovingly prepared elsewhere. The ingredients are fresh and the portions are generous, so dig in!
2 Yauatcha. This restaurant in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex area serves up the most delectable Asian food and has many famous dishes to its name already, though it hasn't been in operation for too long in the city[2]. You will love the warm and cosy ambience and the tasteful déacute;cor. But you will their crispy prawn dumplings more, and the wide variety of teas and desserts that you can wash the main course down with.
3 Souk[3]. Souk is The Taj Mahal Palace's rooftop restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine. You should visit for the stunning views of Mumbai city from your perch in the sky. The food is great too, from their signature shawarmas to falafels, and from their bitter coffee to Sunday brunch and chilled champagne. If you're going to propose to your significant other, it should be at the romantic environs of the Souk.
4 Indigo Delicatessen. Go to the famous Indigo Delicatessen - simply known as Indigo in Mumbai - for the most authentic European and American fare. They are open even for breakfast, so you if you feel a sudden craving for pancakes with maple syrup and fresh cream, you know where to go[4]. For the mains, you can order from their many chicken, lamb and duck recipes. This is a wonderful restaurant in Mumbai for a date or a long catch up with your BFF.
5 India Jones, The Trident[5]. The name often confuses visitors, who expect an Indian menu at this restaurant in Mumbai. Instead, India Jones specialises in recipes sourced from Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam and Singapore. Go to this restaurant with your friends for a really great Teppenyaki meal, or a Korean three-course dinner or just a light meal comprising Asian soup and salad. You can also ask for a freshly prepared dish from their Indian clay oven, if you're still looking for Indian food.
