Breach Candy just got a new ritual - and it comes with ricotta scrambled eggs, hand-painted walls, and sunlight that lingers.

The Nutcracker (@thenutcrackermumbai) has opened its fifth café, this time in the heart of South Mumbai, where the iconic Sun Restaurant once stood.
 A space built on memory, restored with care - from the original brick wall that re-emerged during construction to the soft, graphite palette that makes the mornings here feel slower, warmer, and somehow familiar.

The menu captures that same quiet poetry: steamed herbed eggs on sourdough, Burrata Shakshouka, Green Kheema Qatayef, Apple Pie Chia Pudding - comforting, soulful, and made for the kind of people who treat breakfast as self-care.

Because here, design and food speak the same language - one of craft, nostalgia, and belonging.
📍The Nutcracker, Breach Candy Now open.
A Paperboard Mumbai find - where memories meet new rituals.

✨ Mumbai, this is not your regular @pastelpatisserie_india drop.

Pastel, the patisserie we all know for éclairs and delicate desserts, is teaming up with Chef Chris (@cravings_by_chris) the name behind some of the city’s boldest meat and sandwich creations — for a 2-day, delivery-only takeover.

On the menu are 5 unapologetically stacked sandwiches that feel more like weekend events than meals:

🥪 Birdzilla — crumb-fried chicken with truffle hot sauce and Caesar dressing
🥩 The Porchetta — slow-cooked pork with pistachio mascarpone and fennel slaw
🔥 Buff Daddy — buffalo patty layered with stracciatella and jalapeños
🧀 Hallou, It’s Me — halloumi with labneh, pesto and balsamic glaze
🍄 Miso Mushroom — umami-packed with shiitake miso and Swiss cheese

📅 September 13 & 14
⏳ Orders open till September 12, 7 PM
📦 Delivery-only
💸 ₹550–₹700 + GST

This is the kind of Mumbai food pop-up that disappears before you’ve even decided what to order. Pastel × Cravings by Chris is indulgence at its crunchiest — and it’s here for just one weekend.

Hot take: the best South Indian food right now isn’t where your parents took you.

From buttery benne dosas in Bandra to coastal curries in Andheri and playful mash-ups in Khar, a new wave of restaurants is reshaping what “South Indian” means in Mumbai. Think Uppu @uppu.mumbai’s Sunday breakfast plates, Bekal House @bekalhouse’s Kerala-Goan charm, Kari Apla @kari.apla’s kadala curry hummus, Karnataka Tiffin Room @ktr.mumbai’s Davanagere dosas, Kerala Quarters @keralaquarters’ quarter-bar spin, and Tarrai @tarrai.allday’s cheeky Cacio e Podi.

It’s not about replacing the old haunts - it’s about discovering how the city is reimagining flavours we thought we already knew.

📍 Uppu @uppu.mumbai | Oor @oormumbai | Bekal House @bekalhouse | Benne @benne.bombay | Kari Apla @kari.apla | Karnataka Tiffin Room @ktr.mumbai | Kerala Quarters @keralaquarters | Tarrai @tarrai.allday

Some stories circle back home.

Eleven years after The Nutcracker gave Kala Ghoda its all-day breakfast comfort, its sibling @noabythenutcracker lands right next door.

Here, sourdough doesn’t just sit on the side — it anchors the menu. Cream cheese comes in jars you’ll want in your fridge. And desserts curated & designed specially for Noa by Chef Prateek Bhaktiani blur the line between nostalgia and invention.

Coffee for the loyalists, matcha for the curious.
But mostly — a new café ritual for Kala Ghoda.

On 24th August, the Grand Italian Col-Pranzo Brunch turns the table into a feast – think antipasti, cheeses, wood-fired pizzas, risottos, grilled seafood, and a dessert bar starring tiramisu, cannoli, and house-made gelato.

Sundays in Mumbai have a new flavour. From bottomless Picantes in Bandra to unlimited dim sum in Kala Ghoda, the city’s brunch scene has had a serious glow-up in the last six months.
We’re talking Sixteen33 (@sixteen33bandra )’s spicy cocktail-fuelled afternoons, The Dimsum Room (@thedimsumroom_mumbai )’s 30+ handcrafted dim sum, and Donmai (@donmaimumbai )’s modern Japanese spread. Add Milagro (@milagromumbai )’s Spanish indulgence, HyLo (@hylo.mumbai )’s regional Indian feast, The Bigg Small Café + Bar (@thebiggsmall)’s live-grazing-table energy, and Mezzo Mezzo (@mezzomezzo_ )’s garden-fresh European plates — and you’ve got your next month of brunches sorted.

All verified, all new, all worth booking now. Save this for when Sunday plans feel “same old” — these aren’t your 2019 brunch lists.

There are dinners - and then there are stories told in seven courses.

On 28th August, DEA (@deamumbai) hosts The Elemental Table - an intimate chef’s table by Chef Jayesh Patnaik, limited to just 25 guests.
This isn’t your typical tasting menu. It’s a slow, deliberate journey through the elements:

🔥 Fire-Threshed Baby Chicken with lactoberry jus and fingerling.
🌊 Lamb Loin with wakame and caramelised crème fraîche.
🌱 Mushroom Parfait with black garlic butter and a warm milk bun.

Every plate is a conversation - about seasons, sourcing, and the fine line between tradition and reinvention. The storytelling doesn’t just happen in words; it’s in the char of the meat, the silence before the first sip of tepache and amazake, the way flavours layer like chapters.

📍 @deamumbai, Prabhadevi
📅 28th August | 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM
💰 ₹6,999++ per head
📞 Reserve: +91 74002 27925 | +91 74002 26925

Seats: 25 only. Quiet luxury, told in flavour, texture, and feeling.

Best new restaurants in Mumbai – August 2025 🍽️✨ From South Mumbai’s moody lounges to Bandra’s cosy neighbourhood gems, this month’s Mumbai restaurant openings bring a mix of global flavours, home-style comfort, and inventive cocktails. Our curated list features the top new restaurants in Mumbai August 2025 — perfect for brunch, date night, or after-work drinks. 🍴🌟 #MumbaiEats #NewInTown #AugustDining #FoodieFinds #MumbaiRestaurants #CulinaryAdventures #PaperboardPicks

Start with the breezy beachside Scarlette House, Juhu (@scarletthousebombay) — the second outpost of Malaika Arora’s beloved Bandra restaurant. Head to OOR, Fort (@oormumbai) for homely, honest South Indian food, or try Uppu, Bandra (@uppu.mumbai), a pure vegetarian South Indian kitchen from the founders of Saltt Karjat. For moody luxury and soulful global plates, visit Virat Kohli’s One8 Commune, Lower Parel (@one8.commune), or soak in the retro charm at Baroke, Tardeo (@barokealisteningbar), Mumbai’s first vinyl-only listening bar. Drift, Lower Parel (@driftcafe.bar) offers a European-style café with inventive cocktails and artisanal pâtisserie, while Fireback, Lower Parel (@firebackrestaurant) brings authentic, fire-grilled Thai fare by Chef David Thompson. Finally, Wagamama, Churchgate (@wagamama_ind) serves steaming bowls of ramen and Asian soul food — a global favourite now in Mumbai.

There’s a new South Indian kitchen in Bandra - but it doesn’t feel new.

It feels remembered. Like something you grew up eating, but slightly better this time.

Tucked away in the lanes of Bandra, this pure-vegetarian restaurant serves soulful South Indian food all day - from fluffy podi idlis and crisp rava dosas to coconut-rich gravies, tamarind rice, peppery rasam, and parotta curries that beg to be shared. Even the sheera tastes like home. And the filter coffee? Let’s just say, you’ll want to sit with it a while.

Created by the team behind Saltt Karjat, this 36-seater space is built on ritual, rhythm, and restraint. No noise, no rush - just comfort food done with care.

📍 @uppu.mumbai - Now open in Bandra
Shop no. 2, ONGC Quarters, Ankleshwar Towers, Near Lilavati Hospital, HIG Colony, Nityanand Nagar, Reclamation, Bandra West.

There’s something magical about a meal that asks you to slow down. Not a rushed dinner, not a bite between meetings — but a journey that unfolds plate by plate.

In Mumbai, tasting menus have moved beyond just “fine dining.” They’ve become stories. At Masque(@masquerestaurant), it’s a 10-course ode to India’s seasons. At Indian Accent (@indianaccentmumbai), it’s modern-Indian elegance that somehow still feels like home. Papa’s (@papasbombay) keeps it intimate with just 12 seats and ever-changing menus.

Avatara Mumbai (@avataramumbai) might just be the most inventive vegetarian experience you’ll ever have — 14–16 courses without onion, garlic, paneer, or mushrooms. Masala Library (@masalalibrary) continues to push boundaries with molecular gastronomy meets Indian heritage, and Ekaa (@ekaamumbai) is a masterclass in ingredient storytelling.

If you’ve ever wanted to turn a meal into theatre, this is your list.

Here’s what a perfect Sunday looks like in Bandra: spicy picantes on repeat, purple dim sums on your plate, the music just loud enough to feel alive, and a crowd that’s here for it all.

@sixteen33bandra’s Bottomless Picante Brunch isn’t a brunch. It’s a scene. One that serves up unlimited drinks—yes, espresso martinis, sangrias, whiskey sours, wines, gins, and the iconic Picante—alongside a food menu that changes weekly but never misses.

I went last weekend, thinking I’d just stay for a round. I stayed for three hours. Because how do you leave a brunch that keeps bringing more?

Every Sunday | 1–4 PM
₹3,000++ with alcohol | ₹2,000++ food only

There’s a certain kind of joy that only Mumbai monsoons bring. The craving hits differently - something hot, crispy, and sweet with a story.
 Enter: @bombaysweetshop ‘s new Monsoon Menu — available now at their Bandra, Kala Ghoda, and Oshiwara outlets and on Swiggy, Zomato, and their website.

On a recent drizzly afternoon in Bandra, I tried their Cafreal Mirchi Wada - a spicy twist on the classic, stuffed with Goan masala and crisped to perfection. The Jalebi Waffle was pure indulgence — crispy, nostalgic, but with a Brooklyn-style glow-up.
Other must-try dishes on the monsoon menu:
 — Rajma Galouti Wrap with mustard tamarind chutney — Kerala Banana Bhajji with chilli crunch — Chai Caramel Date Pudding and Choco Biscoff Coffee Cake

This isn’t just a seasonal special. It’s comfort food reimagined, made for rainy days in Mumbai.
 Perfect for weekend catchups, workday cravings, or your next sweet delivery.

📍Dine in at Bandra, Kala Ghoda, or Oshiwara 📦 Order online at bombaysweetshop.com, Swiggy or Zomato 🍴 New Monsoon Menu available now

What do you get when one of Asia’s 50 Best Bars flies in from Goa… and lands behind a Bandra bar for just one night?
A little mezcal. A lot of madness. And a Friday night you’ll still be talking about next week.
@boilermaker.goa - fresh off its #30 spot on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025 - is taking over La Loca Maria for one wild night of cocktails and chaos.

Expect unhinged-in-the-best-way drinks like: 🍍 Siolim Salsa – tequila, pineapple, grapefruit, gochujang 🥭 Mango Number 5 – whiskey, mango, coconut milk, cardamom 🧅 Why Did the Onion Blush? – gin, yoghurt, pickled onion 🔥 Blow Me A Raspberry – tequila, mezcal, raspberry, yuzu

Chef Manuel Olveira is keeping pace with a special tapas-style menu: truffle croquettes, Spanish Cocas, fish/cauliflower tacos, and his signature Gambas al Ajillo.
🗓 Friday, 8th August 📍 @laloca_maria , Bandra 🕙 10 PM till late 🎟 Walk-ins only
Tag your Friday night crew. Cocktails meet croquettes. And chaos gets curated.

When silk met spice, instinct met technique. 🍽️
This isn’t a fusion.

It’s a quiet dialogue between two of Asia’s finest culinary minds — @chefmanishmehrotra and @chefraymond118 — unfolding across 7 immersive courses at @hakkasanmumbai.

For just 3 nights only (Aug 1–3), explore the Silk & Spice menu, where Indian boldness sits beside Cantonese elegance.

Think: XO butter rice, truffle seafood, lotus root with Thai herbs, and more — each plate a shared rhythm, not a collision.

It’s deeply personal too.

Chef Manish returns to his pan-Asian roots after 15 years, rekindling the flavours that first shaped his career.

Chef Raymond weaves decades of modern Cantonese mastery into dishes that are both composed and quietly daring.

Every course tells a story.
Every sip of the signature cocktails echoes it.
📍 Bandra’s @hakkasanmumbai becomes the stage.
✨ The menu? A limited-time experience at ₹7,500 AI.

What happens when one of Bangalore’s most creative cocktail bars shows up in Bandra - for just one night?
You cancel plans, grab your crew, and make your way to Olive. Because this Saturday, the iconic courtyard hosts a guest shift by SIREN - Bangalore’s only Asian cocktail bar, led by the endlessly inventive [@the.bitters.alchemist] (aka The Bitters Alchemist).
Expect flavour-layered pours, house-made bitters, foraged ingredients, and moody monsoon energy. The kind of night where drinks come with a little smoke, a little spice, and a whole lot of storytelling.
🗓 Saturday, 2nd August | 8PM onwards 📍 Olive Bar & Kitchen, Bandra 🎟 Walk-ins welcome. No cover. Just vibes.
Follow @sirencocktailbar and @olivemumbai for more. This one’s not coming back.

When the best kitchen in India meets Asia’s best pastry chef, you get a mithai box that’s almost too beautiful to eat. Almost.

Masque’s festive launch — Rangoli — is a limited-edition collab with Chef Dej Kewkacha (yes, the one from Kyo Bar Bangkok). Expect chocolate mithai in flavours like Tamarind Chilli and Raspberry Rose, shaped into intricate rangoli-style patterns and housed in colour-popping boxes.

Think French technique meets Indian nostalgia, with zero compromise on craft. Eggless, vegan options available, and pre-orders are already flying.

📍Available in 250g (₹3000) and 350g (₹4000) boxes 📦 Mumbai delivery + outstation on bulk (50+) 📝 Order via bit.ly/MasqueRangoli
P.S. It’s a mithai box you’ll actually be excited to gift.
