Living in Bomby or Mumbai as its now called for my whole life of 16 years I have been exposed to a wide variety of foods ranging from street food to fine dining. Mumbai is probably one of the few cities in the world where we can enjoy food from street side vendors, a cafe, a mid range restaurant, a fast food joint and a five-starred hotel, all within a 2 mile radius.
Being a teenager, there has been a lot of aimless gallivanting and hanging out at carter road. For my readers who aren't from Mumbai, carter road is an area in the western suburb of Mumbai. Its a sea-side area that is filled with eateries. You can get all kinds of food possible from pizza's and kebabs to frozen youghurt and shaved ice. It has restaurants serving all kinds of cuisine from lebanese to chinese, crepes to momos. You get everything here.
Apart form all these recently opened place, the real charm lies in the old cafes that have been operating since British times. One of the most iconic of these places is the gaylord restaurant in the city area.Other cafes that have been existing for a long time are cafe andora, which was previously the canteen for St.Andrew's college. Hearsche Bakery is another old cafe. Its known for its croissants and puffs.
Street food is a must try while visiting Mumbai. You can find a ''chat'' vendor at the end of every second street, but beware they are not well known for their hygeine.
Like any major city in the world, Mumbai too has a huge amount of 5 star hotels and michellin starred restaurants. The Taj Mahal Hotel by the Arabian Sea in Colaba is the most Iconic structure in the city. It was infamously attacked by terrorists in 2008.It houses wasabi and the golden dragon two of the highest rated oriental restaurants in the city.China House at the Hyatt and Zodiac Grill at the taj are few of the many highly rated fine dining restaurants in the city.
Words cannot express the diversity we witness in this city, a journey may not be enough, a lifetime
just about suffices. Mumbai a city of many people,
many religions and many cuisines.
