The eStylista City Guide: MissMalini on Mumbai’sTop Places to Eat, Drink and Party
by Malini Agarwal with eS Team
Trust MissMalini to tell us how to party in style.
And we all know she has a full blown website to
show for it. Whether it’s brunch-ing at the
coolest restaurants or kicking off her heels at
the hottest party joints, she’s done it all. So
might as well take her advice very very
seriously!
While the first part was all about handy tips to
get the best out of your city, this week is filled
with food and party ideas – Mumbai’s very best.
Part Two of this delicious venture with eStylista
MissMalini include highly recommended
restaurants, a bunch of awesome secret food
joints, online spots for great food and of course,
the hottest party places to dance the night away.
Go through and bookmark every single link.
Because it’s not everyday MissMalini gives her
secrets away!
What To Eat
I’ll admit I’m not much of a foodie but
luckily I know some really good places
to grab some yummies.
First up: Tariq Ansari (you know him as
the charming MD of Midday and Radio
One) started a Facebook Page called
Best Regional Food in Bombay saying,
“I’m tired of going out to eat overpriced
‘Angreji’ khana in the city. This is a page
for foodies in Bombay to share
information and tips for great regional
food restaurants.” So the next time
you’re looking for a yummy local treat,
you know where to get a variety of
recommendations!
Also rap star and full-on foodie Tanmay Bahulekar (aka Microphon3) has a drool-worthy Instagram
page for all things delish called Bombay Bhukkad. Go there to know the latest in food in Mumbai.

It’s a tough choice but if I had to break it
down to the 6 places I’d go if I had a
week in Mumbai – this is what I’d
suggest:
Goa Portuguesa/Culture Curry in
Mahim. Please look out for the
HILARIOUS Suhas Awchat. You’ll
recognize him from his life-size portrait
on the wall inside and he’ll probably be
in a police uniform and hand you a fold-
out business card.
Elco in Bandra and Swati Snacks in Tardeo for delicious Indian street food like Paani Puri and Chaat.
Gajalee is the best seafood restaurant in the city, hands down. Read my lips, #butterpeppergarliccrab!
Britannia at Ballard Estate. Incredible Parsi/Irani food – definitely order the Berry Pulao and their
“special” soft drink (be warned, it’s really pink and sweet!)
The Table and Ellipsis, both in Colaba, easily the best continental restaurants in the city. In
fact, @EllipsisChef is also on Twitter and quite an entertaining read!
Pali Bhavan, Bandra comes with great Indian fare with the most beautiful interiors I’ve ever seen in a
restaurant (think Photo Opp!)
Also I’ve never been there but I hear Madras Cafe in Matunga is ACE!
What To Drink
I’ve always enjoyed the Long Island Iced
teas at Dome, Intercontinental Marine
Drive. Also Wink, at the Taj President
makes some seriously yummy martinis
(everything from Blueberry to Wasabi)
and the cocktails at Busaba, Lower Parel
have never let me down. If you need an
afternoon pick-me-up, try the cold
coffee with a chocolate swirl called Cafe
Viennoise at the Sea Lounge at Taj
Palace Hotel, Colaba. You”ll get a great
view at sunset of the Gateway of India
for free
Where To Party
Aha! Now we’re talking more my speed. But be warned, clubs and bars in Mumbai are constantly
opening and shutting down - here’s a list of places I like and what’s cool about them.
Bandra Blues
Olive Bar & Kitchen is best visited on a
Thursday night if you want to see
Mumbai’s young and restless in droves.
But be warned, it gets pricey if you
order imported liquor, so SPECIFY if
local liquor will do for you. Also they
don’t let too many “stags” in alone on
Thursday, so plan ahead and call some
ladies.
The Big Nasty is a hop, skip and jump away from Olive with retro tunes, affordable drinks and a nice
laid-back vibe.
Big Bang Cafe has a similar vibe to Big Nasty, two big terraces and beer by the litre.
Elbo Room cozy spot and run by Dino Morea‘s brother Nicolo Morea so you’re more than likely to
run into nicer crowds!
Escobar another great spot with an outdoor deck.

Loca Loca in Khar (formerly WTF) has a nice Cuban vibe and easy drinks.
North Mumbai
Aurus (Juhu) the music is always good
and they have a great outdoor deck that
looks over the beach.
Trilogy (Juhu) recently reopened much
to everyone’s delight!
China House (Santacruz) fancy drinks
and good DJs and one random Tuesday,
Salman Khan bought us all drinks there!
#truestory
Three Wise Men (Santacruz) super fun
sporty bar bang opposite the Santacruz
Police station. (Genius, because that’s the last place they’d ever look *lol*)
South Mumbai
The Ghetto (Mahalaxmi) still my favorite
dive bar in the city and where I made my
first 3 friends they have pool tables,
cheap drinks and rock music!
Aer, Four Seasons (Worli) best view of
the city, brilliant breeze but drinks are
pricey!
Tote (Mahalaxmi) is yet another massive
bar (that looks like the inside of a
Ferrero Rocher)
Blue Frog (Lower Parel) live music almost every night of the week, ’nuff said.
Cafe Zoe (Lower Parel) , the same mill compound as Blue Frog, excellent decor and vibe.
Barking Deer (Lower Parel) a new pub and brewery that’s opened opposite Blue Frog.
Busaba (Lower Parel & Colaba) great cocktails and beef skewers to snack on.
LIV & Cheval (Kala Ghoda), Amadeus (Nariman Point) are the best spots to visit town-side last I
checked (admittedly, I’ve succumbed to the big Townie-Suburban divide and tend to stay north of the
sea link!)
A new club just launched on the 27th Floor of the Palladium Hotel called Exo, can’t wait to check it
out!
But if you’re looking for a big night out try one of these joints. Or-g (small but always fun), Ren
(decked out with laser lights and VIP booths) or Royalty (massive heaving dance floor on weekends).
Dome (Marine Drive) rooftop, poolside
fun.
Cafe Mondy’s & Cafe Leopold (Colaba)
the iconic two casual day/night bars on
the causeway.
Indigo (Colaba) the most iconic
bar/restaurant in Mumbai so drop in for
a drink!
Friendly Tip: Model Aquin Pais, Mona
Juneja and Harpeet Baweja throw the
most banging parties around town under the brand “Butter Events” check them out for updates on
