Within the Thakur Village this is probably the best eating place. The location and ambience is decent for families as well as business customers. The place serves Mexican, Thai, Italian, Chinese and Indian cuisines.

You can choose with a number of options of salads, curries, starters & desserts. The taste of the food is good in relative terms. But their main issue is the quantity with price. We've been to twice to Cascade so far and first time we were impressed by a Italian pasta on White Sauce but on the second visit the Mexican Chicken on Brown Sauce with Bread was poorly presented. As you don't expect White plain bread (uncut sides) to be presented on your plate (like breakfast at home) in an restaurant.

We have visited Avenue Hotel for Dinner multiple occassion. It's a nice mid range Indian based restaurant offering accommodation and banquet facility as well.

The hotel serves decent food in reasonable price, Best to try the parathas - which are real good in taste and size too. Indian dishes should be risk free including both vegeterian and non-vegeterian items. In starters you can order chicken/lamb/paneer kababs. Overall not a great difference in taste than other Mid range restaurants but the food would do justice to the price you pay.

Favorite Dish: Try their Rashmi Parathas

Machaan is a chain of restaurants under the ownership of Anjan Chatterjee. It's a theme restaurant following jungle pettern where 'machaan' means tree house. The ambienece is fabulous with models of bamboo, stone, tree, animals all around you. What is exceptional is the value for money in this chain.

We went to this restaurant in our last anniversary and stunned by the no. of items they serve in the buffet that too at a price of INR 425 + Taxes (under 10 USD). The menu consists of plenty of salads, 10 starters (2 chats, 4 non-veg, 4 veg), bread combinations, 2 rice options, 8 veg main course, 6 non-veg main course, 6 deserts and one complimentary soft drink. Typically in a buffet you'll find only 40-50% dishes are worth to taste but here at least 90% are awesome in taste. One chat was made by a leaf fried in besan and used it as a sew puri kind of base - which was innovative and great in eating.

This is a great restaurant. The food is extremely good. Mostly North Indian food of high quality and low prices.
It can be very busy and you might struggle to get a table, as it is very popular.
Service is also of a high standard.
During my last visit (2010), I once again went to this restautrant and was very impressed again with the food and service.

Badshah store is named after B. A. Badshah. He operated seven fruit juice shops in Mumbai during the early 1900s. He was a kind man and a wonderful employer. He died at a young age of 38 without any kids. In his will he left each of his seven shops with once of his loyal servants. Badshah at Crawford Market was inherited by Merwan Jehangir Irani - then manager of the place. He has employed a 12 year Iranian immigrant for cleaning help. Mr. Irani was impressed with the boy's ethics. When the boy grew up, he married his daughter Yasmin with the boy and handed the shop over to the couple. Aspi passed away in 1996, and Yasimin ran the should with her daughter Behnaz's husband. They also have opened a shop in Pune.

Favorite Dish: Falooda is Zoroastrian Persia's national drink. Badshah in Crawford Market area is the place for Falooda in Mumbai. About 65% of Badshah's business comes from Faloodas. Falooda is a tall cooling milk-and-rose syrup drink with vermicelli and takmaria seeds (also known as sabjah). It is typically topped with ice-cream.
The mango juice is Rs. 65, same size, and includes the juice of one-and-half mango. Then there is the mango ice-cream (Rs.18), all the ice-creams pista, butter-scotch, chocolate, strawberry are priced at Rs. 18. The mango melba, a speciality of the place, is Rs. 80. In a bowl you get mango slices, two scoops of ice-creams, one mango and one pista, jelly and a biscuit, what are known as the ice-cream biscuits. Fresh stocks of mangoes come from the Vashi market every day.
The mango also forms a theme for the restaurant. At the Badshah Annexe, each table has a small mango tree in its centre. Actually, it is a bracket, cleverly designed, with mango leaves arranged in the brackets and fresh mangoes tied to them. The mango leaves are changed daily. The whole decor is fresh, nothing plastic, and, when you sit at a table, you get the aroma of fresh mangoes dangling in front of your nose. The mini-mango trees are just one of the displays at the Badshah Annexe. There is an entire wall covered with fruits, almost all the fruits in the world, apples, mosambis, chickoos, pomegranates, fringed by pineapples. And they are not just on display, they are used daily and replaced.

The best Indian Food Serves Here.Indian Tandoory items like Mogulai dishesh .
If you have been searching for authentic Punjabi and Mughlai food in Navi Mumbai and are not able to find a place, your wait has come to an end!
Moti Mahal, as this restaurant is called, serves authentic Indian food. And to say the least, as I ate their yesterday, I found it the most delectable Mughlai cuisine (once prepared in the kitchens of the royal Mughal emperors) in town.
Remember to skip your lunch the day you plan to have your dinner at Moti Mahal. Or you might miss out on the wonderful meal that the restaurant serves, including some wonderful options for dessert. Their Gulab Jamuns are simply out of the world delight!

Favorite Dish: Mogulai dish, Tandoori dish¸ Chinese dish, Continental dish, Labinesh dishes....Try best " Paneer Butter Masala."

Ambiance is Bad, locality too. But if you want to taste real Mughlai kind of Biryani it is it. The taste is hot. But it is spicy and Dum Biryani in its original taste as is cooked in Indian local Wedding parities.

Favorite Dish: Mutton Biryani and Fallooda.

One of my familys favorite moghlai joint. If you love Moghlai food, the typical kind with the aroma of ghee and garam masalas, gotta check this place out.
Conveniently located near bandra station, you might actually miss out the entrance to it. When I did discover lucky I was a bit skeptical whether it would be good. But once inside, I felt really good and hungry, what with the aroma of food tingling my senses.
It has a moderate but comfortable decor. This place is not reputed for its ambience but the food makes it a worthwhile and popular joint. The service is quick and prompt. It has a reasonably good menu, that includes almost everything moghlai and punjabi. Great biryani’s, tikkas & tandoori. Reasonable pricing and good for take outs too.
So its worth a try for the delicious moghlai food!
