‘Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.’
This quote perfectly describes some of the most unassuming restaurants in Mumbai. Food in Mumbai is shaped by flavours from all over India, be it in a fancy romantic rooftop restaurant or street food corner, restaurants in Mumbai serve delicious dishes throughout the year, 24*7.
Here’s a list of my favorite food joints in Mumbai with their specialties.
1. Leaping Windows
The peaceful by-lanes of Versova are home to the Leaping Windows. With a few indoor tables, a couple outside, this cafe has over 2000 comic books and a perfect ambiance where all of us can relive the stories we grew up reading about, and imagine ourselves to be one of the superheroes.
Order: Cajun chicken burger and Nutella-stuffed pancake.
Cost For Two: Rs 1000 (approximately)
Address: 3 Corner View, Dr. Ashok Chopra Marg, Off Yari Road, Opp. Bianca Towers,
Versova, Andheri West, Mumbai.

Nestled in the heart of bustling South Mumbai, set against the lush expanses of the Open Air Plaza and flanked by Amadeus, the NCPA’s existing paragon of fine dining, the cafe at The NCPA cafe promises a refreshingly tranquil retreat from the rush of the city.
