Unique Restaurants in Mumbai

We all have been to restaurants throughout our lives, but wouldn’t you want to visit a funky, out-of-the-box styled restaurant as well? Wouldn’t it be cool to dine in a Shikhara or even an ice-lounge; or perhaps have your food while sitting in a rickshaw? Mumbai is a place where you not only can eat in luxurious restaurants and even find small quaint cafes as well; but you can also find extremely ‘unusual’ places to dine at.

Not only will you find good food with great music in most of the restaurants in the city; but you will experience a different ambience in each place.

Some of the unusual but unique restaurants in Mumbai that you might want to try out include:

1) KongPoush - Flavour of Kashmir, Goregaon: Apart from the breath-taking view of Kashmir, the state’s delectable cuisine adds to the list of the country’s regional food favourites. Located on a rather inconspicuous street (BEST Colony Road) near Oshiwara Bus Depot in Goregaon (W) KongPoush is a popular joint for people to get their hands on Kashmir’s rich and meaty food. Having a chef from Jammu and Kashmir who prepares the meal, there is also a wide variety of vegetarian cuisine as well. An air-conditioned restaurant, there are many popular Kashmir delights to savour on. 

2) 21 Fahrenheit, Andheri: Have you ever dined in a restaurant having the temperature at -6 degrees? Probably not! 21 Fahrenheit, located in Andheri is one such place. Not only this, you are given a thick warm jacket, warm boots and a pair of gloves to wear! With everything inside the lounge made of ice; whether it is the seat, the stringed curtains or the wall; one immediately forgets that they are in Mumbai!            

3) Firangi Dhaba, Andheri: Rickshaw’s are meant for daily transport, right; but how would you like to eat in one? Sounds strange; but Firangi Paani in Andheri offers you this experience.  With old lanterns, film posters, glass patchwork wall, kites and other kitschy pieces that form a backdrop you can enjoy a continental fare as well as authentic dhaba da khana (authentic Punjabi-style). Interesting highlights of this restaurant include the cart-converted table and funky cut-outs of Salman and Aishwarya and the sewing-machine converted table.  

4) Aer Bar and Lounge, Four Seasons Hotel, Worli: A restaurant located at the 34^th floor of the hotel, Four Seasons, the Aer Bar and Lounge offers a refreshing panoramic view of the city which never sleeps. Having futuristic furniture which lends a lounge feel that is cosy this restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail along with a mezze platter.  

Summary: Mumbai is a city having restaurants which are popular for its global cuisines. Some of the unique restaurants in Mumbai include KongPoush, 21 Fahrenheit, Firangi Dhaba and Aer Bar and Lounge. Not only are they unusual restaurants but offer you a unique experience.
