Well, the only thing that gives a "thumbs up" to this restaurant is the view of the city from its revolving tower.
it is quite an experience to sit there and watch the citylights go in cirlces around you. You feel like you are the centre of the universe!
Other than that, i found the management to be snooty, and quite bad service. They tell you right in the beginning, you have to eat a minimum of such and such amount each person (think it was 700rs) or else you are not welcome. Not in such exact words, but not very far off the truth. Quite hated the snootiness of the place.
Cannot remember what i liked, was so angry with the waiters and maitr'd.
Maybe the food was good?
Only the view satisfied me. Leave a Comment Theme: Eclectic/InternationalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: The Ambassador Hotel,VN Road, ChurchgatePhone: 22-2204-1131Directions: Right on Churchgate main road, towards the Sea.

The food was not great, not bad either. I was craving for some familiar, hometown taste - fresh, juicy, succulent crabs - and Trishna did meet that expectation, although the crabs are not as succulent as those from the Philippines. I ordered butter pepper garlic crab and did have a satisfying meal.
Ambience? So-so :-)
Crabs, although I still think those from my home country, the Philippines, are still the tastiest and most succulent. In any case, good enough to answer my crab cravings in a foreign land.

It was serendipity, plain and simple. I was walking along Arthur Bunder Road, in what could be Mumbai's version of Arab Quarters, looking for an exciting and novel Middle Eastern gastronomical experience, when I stumbled upon this quaint restaurant with a chic European ambiance (there goes my search for a Middle Eastern gastronomical experience!).
Upon entering Basilico's ancient double door, my nostrils were greeted with the wondefully intoxicating scent of basil - an auspicious prelude to an evening of great food.
Their pastas, al dente, and smoothered with in-house sauces, are a great way to chase hunger pangs away. I specifically loved the basic pesto - pure, simple, healthy.
Don't forget to try the chargrilled mediterranean chicken with fresh herbs and mustard - tender chicken breast sprinkled with aromatic herbs, and mustard sauce imparting a more robust flavor. It was a little bit salty for me, though.
The lentil sauce on the pan-fried scallops adds an Indian twist to what is an otherwise plain seafood fare. The rich and powerful lentil sauce provides good contrast to the scallops' primitive marine flavors.
And yes, cap your meal with their sinful desserts. Make mine a cheesecake.

The restaurant is very classy, and popular. We were unable to get seats near the windows to be able to see the view, so sat at a large central table with comfortable soft armchairs, spacious but intimate. Service was prompt.
The restaurant works from 6pm to 1.30 am.
The menu made making a choice difficult. We ended up having starters : potato platter which consisted of potatoes cooked in so may different delicious ways. We also had chcken and were so full that we opted against a main course.
The coconut mocktail was also delicious. Leave a Comment Theme: Eclectic/InternationalPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: 135 Marine Drive

Khyber is one of Bombay's most attractive and popular restaurants, with three floors of delightful rooms done up in Northwest Frontier decor -- white marble floors, terra-cotta urns, carved stone pillars, low wooden rafters, and handsome fresco murals by local artists. The waiters, dressed in Pathan tribal garb, serve delicious kebabs, rotis, and other North Indian food.
Bhutta Masala Curry - Corn in a Rich Creamy Sauce.
Pomphret Green Masala.
Chicken Makhani.
This is a high -end Restaurant which only cooks with mineral water and can cater to western palettes (Mild) on request. Hence feel free to order whatever you fancy.

I am not an aficionado of the Hard Rock chain, but one of our group was, which is how we ended up at Mumbai’s outpost in the Parel district. The setting is quite incongruous (though far from unique here in Mumbai) with valet parking and the typical Hard Rock popular culture scene within - overpriced deep-fried foods and t-shirts amidst a panoply of music videos - while directly outside, the streets are lined with families living on the sidewalks under plastic tarps.

Dine amidst Indian furnishings and crockery with food served by waiters dish by dish on your personal plate here.
The cooking is great and so are the staff. But I must say I was slightly uncomfortable when they wait on us to scoop for us more gravy when we were halfways eating ; ) There were times I stole the chance to scoop food into our plates myself while the waiter wasn't looking! ; ) Leave a Comment Theme: IndianPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: Located in Byculla in the heart of Mumbai, 16 km from Airport, 1 km from Railway Station, 1km from Bombay Central.

New in town is Mangi Ferra, italian for mango tree. This is a dining bar located on Gulmohar Cross Road No 7, Juhu. It's where the old Mai Thai used to be and is totally transformed into a relaxed, charming and contemporary restaurant. The place has been conceptualised by Prashant Chaudhri and Rajesh Sharma with chef Vijayraj Singh Chauhan at the helm. There's authentic Italian fare like Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas, handcrafted exotic pizzas, starters and a selection of wines, spirits and cocktails Leave a Comment
