Spaghetti Kitchen is a chain of Restaurants in Mumbai serving Italian food. I have only been to the Powai outlet 4-5 times till date and every time I felt absolutely satisfied.
The location is little hidden and may be that's the reason why it's a treasure. During lunch time they serve a Buffet with just amazing food choices and if you are an Italian food lover you will love the food here
Favorite Dish: Lunch Buffet - Consists of Lasana, Breads, Pasta Salads, Masses Potato Items, Paneer Items, Chicken in White/Red Gravy, Lamb, Fish and plenty of Deserts to choose from - Only 495 INR + Tax
Dinning - Drinks are expensive so in allover the city, The thick crust Pizza (comparable to thin crust with other Pizza outlets) was just awesome and probably the best in Mumbai. Pasta with Seafood, Chicken starters, Chocolate Deserts are worth to try.

A good place to stop for a drink to quence the heat while out shopping on Colaba Causeway. I did not eat here but from the food i say other people eating i wouold not recommend it, looked a bit greasy and cheap. Grand for a Coke and a bit of air condition. Just go 2 minutes down the road to Leopold's instead.

Bistro Grill is a restaurant chain with Arabic Cuisine in Mumbai. We visited the one located at Hiranandani Gardens, Powai. The restaurant has a number of Non Veg options prepared with Arabian Herbs & Spices. The ambience is good but may be because of the price range the overall attendance is not very encouraging.
We choose a lamb platter which came up with different Kabab style preparations spiced up with Arabian aroma. There were sides of salad, fries and pita breads. The quantity was generous & the taste of the food was good but issue was the proper tendering of the meat. You'd lose interest when you struggle to separate meat out of the bone.

In United States Ruby Tuesday is so familiar chain people might not bother to write a review against it but due to scarcity of the numbers in India it takes part into my list of restaurant reviews.
Located inside the Inorbit Mall, Malad (West) beside Link Road. The restaurant follows the traditional sports theme in the interior and maintained that very well. There are quite a few starters from mozarella balls, sea food special with prawns, mexican dishes with tortillas or rice to chose from. We opted for 'Chicken Bella' a typical American dish with chicken breast sauted with mushroom, veggies and mashed potato.
The food was excellent in taste as I didn't leave anything behind the plate. My wife struggled with the veggies a bit but that can be ignored given her little amount of food in-take.

Within the last few years, coffee cafes have become extremely popular in Mumbai. Cafes have popped up all over and you won't have to travel far to find one. You'll even find one or two in each mall. They have become meeting places for all kinds of people and meetings - business meetings, college kids, people on a date, shoppers taking a break - and just a place to hang out. All have indoor and outdoor seating and offer both hot and cold coffees, teas, specialty drinks, and snacks (sandwiches, cakes, etc.). A cappuccino usually costs under $1 and a snack between $1-$2. Specialty drinks can run $2+.
The two most popular are Cafe Coffee Day and Barista, but others include Costa Coffee, Mocha, and Gloria Jean's. Most outlets open around 9 and don't close until 1 a.m.
We always frequent Cafe Coffee Day(s). It's great to sit outside, have a cappuccino, and watch the city go by.

Barista is a chain of espresso bars and crèmes that can be found in over 30 Indian cities. There is one on Colaba Causeway in Colaba which I visited twice. There is air condition inside, but luckily it was not too cold.
It is a good place to come to to have some good coffee, but as I only visited Barista in Mumbai in the evening I didn’t drink coffee (can’t sleep if I drink coffee too late). Both times I visited I had a ginger and honey tea with a piece of chocolate cake to eat. For tea and cake I paid Rs 147 (June 2010).

In Bombay and not trying Malvani cuisine? This is a strict no no for me. It was on 21st December'09 I expressed the desire to try Malvani food to my Bombay friend Rajeev Bannerjee. Who took me to this place near Thane Railway station. Malvani food is not at difficult to find in Bombay, it is available everywhere. Just ask a local for guidance and experience the real exotic food of Maratha region!
Malvani cuisine is the standard cuisine of the Konkan region of Maharashtra and Goa, and some northern parts of West Karnataka. Although Malvani cuisine is predominantly non-vegetarian, there are many vegetarian delicacies. Although it is an independent cuisine, it overlaps Maharashtrian cuisine and Goan cuisine. Malvan is a town in the Sindhudurg district on the west coast of Maharashtra.
Malvan being a coastal area in Konkan, it has its own distinct way of cooking food. Malvani cuisine uses coconut liberally in various forms such as grated, dry grated, fried, coconut paste and coconut milk.
Many masalas have dried red chilies and other spices like coriander seeds, peppercorns, cumin, cardamom, ginger, garlic, etc. Some dishes also use kokum, dried kokam (amsul), tamarind, and raw mango (kairi).
However not all of the cuisine is hot and spicy. The 'Konkanastha Brahmin' style of food is quite bland yet very tasty and vegetarian too.
Fish dishes dominate the Malvani cuisine. The fiery seafood curries may be a bit too spicy for some people, but are quite tasty. The Malvani cuisine is very similar to Goan or coastal South Indian cuisine.
Sol Kadhi is a pink colored appetizer drink made from the kokam fruit and Coconut Milk, often drunk after particularly hot and spicy Konkani / Malvani meal as it is very soothing.
I liked the Kombdi Vade so much that I ordered two plates for me.
Favorite Dish: I tried their Tandalachi Bhakri ( Chapati made of Rice Flour), Bangda Fry ( Mackerel Fry), Sol Kadhi, Kombdi Vade ( Traditional Chicken Curry)
