One of our favourite places for a no-frills meal. A bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but the food is fantastic. Not a great spot for vegetarians, but the stuffed mushrooms are great.

The best ice cream! Known for their fruit flavours. Bonus: there's usually a guy making fresh waffle cones outside the shop! And they deliver!

A good place to try classic street food items in a hygienic environment (prices reflect this.) Even though we'd recommend real street food (ask about our tour), this place is also very good.

Good place for a cheap, quick meal. The pav bhaji is pretty good, and there's a large menu of dosas. Wash it down with fresh juice- our favourites are watermelon and/or pineapple.

A Mumbai institution. This "bar" takes "dive bar" to a whole new level. Impossible to get a seat late in the evening (on weekends.) Arrive early and settle in. Try the DELICIOUS chicken tikka rolls.
