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 34th 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.
