Mumbai

WHEN IN MUMBAI...

STAY

The Taj Mahal Hotel: One of the most iconic hotels and buildings in Mumbai. Close to the cool art districts and amazing market places with a view of The Gateway of India. 

The Oberoi: Another iconic hotel of Mumbai, also located close to The Gateway of India

The Four Seasons Hotel: Located in an area known as Worli, this hotel is close to the south of Mumbai which is where a lot of the attractions are, as well as the cooler shopping and cafe suburb of Bandra.

 EAT 

The Table: Fresh food and amazing desserts, there is nothing that you will not enjoy on this menu. 

Peshawari: For great Indian food - a super famous spot. 

GhajaliL: Mumbai is known for it’s street food and this restaurant specifically for its crab!

Su Casa: Tapas style fusion food

Pali Village Cafe: Amazing artistic vibes

Sea Lounge: This is a lovely little spot located in the Taj Mahal Hotel. I highly recommend AGAINST eating from the street and instead coming to Sea Lounge to try famous Bombay Street food!
