I don't remember why or how I missed this tip or the restaurant, which I have been visiting since 1984 my early work days! This one was discovered by me in 1984 when I joined ACC Limited and was on my official visit to Lonavala for ten days training. I stayed for the night at Hotel Windsor at Kumpta Street. There are many eating joints near VT railway station mostly run by The Shetty community of Tamilnadu and Karnataka. They serve excellent South Indian Non Veg food and Mumbai food at a very reasonable price. Their fish ( Mostly sea fish) dishes are really excellent and worth giving a try to know the real Bombay food or what the locals eat.
In the past I have tried their Pomfret masala, Halva ( Black Pomfret ) Masala, Surmai ( Tuna) Fry/ masala etc. I have also taken Rakhi there a no of times. Over the time that small place has bought the next door restaurant and have emerged as a large one with air conditioned hall and also a non air conditioned area, where the prices are 20% cheaper than the air conditioned sitting area.
This time after our training was over on 24th December'2009, I went there for a glass of beer and snacks. I had Squid Masala and Shrimp cocktail with my favourite Budweiser beer.
Favorite Dish: I wanted to try many dishes but the time was just not there. But I liked their Squid Masala and Shrimp cocktail. I have many favourite dishes there in this place.

21 Fahrenheit brings the fascinating Ice bar concept to India with this uber 'cool' restaurant + lounge in Oshiwara. The temperature controlled ice lounge, panning about 800 sqft. occupies about a third of the entire space. So strict they are with their temperature moderation, they will not allow any more than 45 people in the lounge at a time.
Its food is equally tasty and the service is superfine.I was quite impressed by the staff as they were much friendly ..
Favorite Dish: I loved my drink in glass ice in Ice lounge and i loved kababss

My colleagues and I, bored of the same old buffets, wanted to try out something new.They play nice music and the décor is cute, with Archie’s comic strips on all the walls. They’ve also incorporated Archie’s comic characters in their menu, like Juggie’s Burgers. The spellings of some characters are hilarious though, like Beti’s (Betty’s) Sizzlers and Harmonica’s (Veronica’s) Pasta :).
The food isn’t spectacular, but it is pretty good, very fast, and reasonably priced. A meal for two, including non-alcoholic drinks, would cost between INR 800 and 1000, definitely value for money!
Favorite Dish: Virgin Peach Margherita ,Strawberry Margherita ,Spinach and Walnut soup.,California Olive Cheese Balls,Vegetable Lasagna,Sizzling Brownie Their Apple Pie with ice cream and Chocolate Mousse are good too. also Try California Olive Cheese Balls

A brilliant hotel! They picked us up from the airport even though we were three hours late, and treated us like royalty, nothing was too much trouble.
Very comfortable hotel, with fantastic rooftop restaurant and lovely food. If I ever had to stay overnight in Mumbai, I would stay here.

Just a short walk from the Dadar Station (West), Visawa Restaurant has seen many office-goers grab a quick meal comprising hot "idlis", "dosas", "uttapams" and "medu wadas". For more than fifty years, this restaurant has been literally overflowing with customers. Here you will hear all the city gossips, over endless cups of tea and coffee, alongside tasty crispy snacks. Along with Mama Kane (a neighboring restaurant some distance away), this is also a pure vegetarian diner. But while the latter serves authentic "Maharashtrian" food, this one caters primarily to South Indian and Punjabi cuisines.
Favorite Dish: hot "idlis", "dosas", "uttapams"medu wadas

We have been eating at and ordering from Pizza Casa for years. Although they offer several types of cuisine - an unlikely combination of Italian, Mexican, Lebanese, European, & Sizzlers, - we've always stuck with the salads and pizza/Italian.
They offer about 30 types of veg and non-veg pizza (8 and 12 inch sizes), a good assortment of starters (appetizers), great salads, pastas, and even quiche.
My favorite dishes are the salads (potato, Russian), baked mushrooms with cheese (delicious) and a few chicken pizzas. Their pizzas are made with fresh dough, homemade sauce, real Italian herbs, and cheese. Regular and deep dish are available.
They have outdoor tables in a great people-watching spot.
Pizzas run about $2.50-3.00 and the 8 inch will serve 2 if you have starters or salad.

Urban Tadka serves excellent North Indian/Punjabi cuisine. I loved the ambience, which is reminiscent of a north Indian dhaba - a traditional highway restaurant. Urban Tadka serves both veg and non-veg dishes.
The menu includes various chicken, mutton, and seafood dishes as well as various tikkas, kebabs, biryanis, daals, etc. - something for everyone. My favorite dish is the Methi Chicken.
Prices are a little more expensive than local "cheap" restaurants but would still be considered moderate. You can eat very well for under $5 a person.
Urban Tadka is extremely popular and unfortunately they do not take reservations. Try it for lunch or go early (by 7:30) for dinner.
Both take-out and local home delivery are available.
There is another branch located at "R" Mall, Mulund West (022 25614473/74/75).

I went to Iran in 2008 and had good Parsi food. Despite there are recommendations on Jimmy Boy restaurant for parsi food, I found tere was nothing outstanding about it. I tried the set meal "Lagan nu Bhonu" for Rs475 (Jun 09). It consists fish in wrapped banana leaves, fri3ed chichen and rice with mutton + dessert.
See more pics for the food and the set meal menu.
