HIGH-END RESTAURANTS, Mumbai

The restaurant ambience is appropriate for the price points. It also doubles up as a lounge bar towards the evening.

The food was okay ( whatever we ordered ), but the prices are steep and portions are small ... even compared to regular up market restaurants. Does not allow you to try variety if you are in a small group.

The worst part was the attitude of the waiters. They are used to seeing actors and celebrities on a daily basis so for the lesser mortals, they are oblivious to your needs. The service here is terrible.

An elite, up-market lounge cum restaurant. They serve Mediterranean cuisine and according to a friend of mine, the best steak he has ever eaten, and he has eaten quite a few, so I believe him!!!.

A very different food experience for sure and the ambience is breathtaking. It overlooks the Juhu beach but is quite far away from the populated beach section. Ask for a table outside and enjoy the cool breeze with the dinner. The best of all is the complimentary bread basket with some amazing butters. These are garlic butter and mushroom butter. I do not know where to get them from, or if they make them themselves but I would not mind going there to eat only that. Its the best thing I have ever eaten.

They have some really unusual combinations for cocktails and an extensive range of liquers to choose from as well.

The Sunday brunch buffet here is huge and delicious! All kinds of salads, soups, appetizers (including shrimp cocktail, crab legs), Indian food, continental dishes, pizzas, desserts, etc., etc. Best Sunday brunch in Mumbai. Reservations recommended.

The Olive Bar & Kitchen is a stylish, elegant and natural world of simplicity - a mellow place to relax and unwind. It is one of the best restaurant brands in the country with a slew of awards across Bombay and Delhi.

The concept of New Mediterranean cuisine was new when Olive was formed. The unique culinary style New Mediterranean cuisine served is a rich, culinary experience.The Olive kitchen has a menu based on char grilled churasco’s, homemade pastas, fresh vegetables, and grilled fish, dressed with fresh Mediterranean herbs and Olive oil.

Olive has recently introduced a theme space for small private soirees. Creating the space around the Mediterranean influences from Morocco the space called The Tent that is situated within its premise has become very popular for private bashes. The Eastern look along with the mezze platters and hookahs are an experience that can only be had in Mumbai at Olive.

The Restaurants creative interiors, chic yet friendly atmosphere and unobtrusively stylish service have struck the right balance between camaraderie and intimacy amongst all its patrons. Olive is clearly the favourite watering hole of celebrities and prominent people from many fields including cinema, business, sports and royalty. These include Oliver Stone, Tommy Hilfiger, Aamir Khan, Rahul Bose, Sharukh Khan, Malaika Arora, Karan Johar and members of the Royal family of Bhutan.

Ok this is SO not the place if you are looking for authentic Indian food. But since I am Indian, it was a cool spot to meet for drinks and non-indian food.

The drinks are awesome (one of the few place in India where you can get a good mixed-drink)
and the ambience is nice. There is an outdoor bar, which also has some tables set up for dinner. Lots of candles & white stucco walls, very cute.

The food is great! we loved everything! It's a mix of food, i guess you could call it continental/mediterranean. But we loved it because it still had a few spices, so it wasn't boring fare.

THe prices are high for Mumbai, but when you convert it to dollars, it isnt bad (well at least not if you're comparing it to NYC resturants!). For example, a cocktail translates to about $8.

The service is ok, could be better.

It's a nice place for a visit, but it's very NYC/LA/South Beach (you get the point)- so most definitely NOT the place for people looking for authentic Indian stuff.

If you really wanna take your taste buds to heaven,I would recommend this restaurant.I am pure vegeterian and the thai veg food here is so so good i can imagine what the awesome seafood spread here would taste like.The chef is a lovely thai lady.Who has magic in her hands.

Favorite Dish: Phad thai noodles,pineapple fried rice,bean curd in gravy,

If your up to some nice continental grub there is no place like out of the blue.Known for its delicious food and one of the only restaurant that has the ISO 9000 certification this place serves great food,great ambience and is certified for its cleanliness.It serves sizzlers,continental grub and alcohol.It has a great indoor n outdoor ambience.

Favorite Dish: I quite like the thai sizzlers,presto crostini is worth trying,ice teas are good.

The Buffet at the Taj Mahal Palace costs 1,100 Rupees, but compared to ordering off the menu it is a bargain. If you are going to splurge this is the place to do it. Don't be on a diet when you dig into this buffet. The buffet includes juice, coffee and a fabulous desert bar.

Favorite Dish: The whole desert bar
