Restaurant suggestions

1.Grandmama’s Cafe, Chembur

Located on the busy Sion-Chembur road, Grandmama’s is a brightly lit cafe with a soothing ambience.  
This place is so welcoming that you feel just at home with the amazing decor and the great food. It actually reminds me of a cute little granny’s house.  I recommend the Trash Can Nachos and Rajma Chawal(their signature dish).

Harsha Khilnani.

2. Pizza Express, BKC

Pizza lovers go to place. Great ambience with amazing pizzas. Staff here is friendly and will guide you through with ordering the best from the menu.  Would recommend the Pomodoro pizza along with a side of dough balls with their versatile dips and their vanilla cheesecake as a sinful end to this meal. 

Hetanshi Raikundlia

3. Uncafe, Sion

Cool and tiny cute little cafe located super close to our college. A hang out spot for our age group. Including not only food but also various board games to keep us entertained. Would recommend the delicious pasta, nachos and their blissful gooey chocolate cake!

4. Guru Kripa, Sion

A must try for all Samosa lovers; this place serves the best samosa chhole in town. They also specialise in chaat, chhole bhature and masala pav. The service is quick; although you might have to wait if you want to sit and eat.

5. Hitchki, BKC

It’s a great place with a friendly environment and ambience.. The food is value for money. You must definitely try their Thai Curry Hummus with pita bread, Chicken dhinchak, massaman curry and for dessert, Bharatiyon ka Swagat.

6. DPs’s The Fast Food Centre, Matunga

This place is located just opposite Ruia College and once you’re there you have to order Pani Puri Shots, Masala Pav and fruit beer. They have indoor as well as outdoor seating available.

7. Ram Ashraya, Matunga East

One of the best places to visit if you’re searching for authentic South Indian food. The restaurant is always flooded with customers, and sometimes you may have to wait for about an hour! But the Pineapple Sheera, Mysore Dosa and filter coffee make it worth the wait.
