New restaurants in November 2025: Where to dine now

Mumbai hits a special stride at the end of the year. Cooler evenings, livelier weekends, and a wave of New Restaurants in November 2025 that give the city fresh reasons to dress up, go out and discover something new. This month’s openings span Bandra, Lower Parel, and South Bombay, each bringing its own personality, point of view and dining mood. Here’s your curated guide to the places worth booking first.

Kaspers, Bandra: A standout among the New Restaurants in November 2025

A chic neighbourhood bistro by the team behind Food Matters Group and chef Will Aghajanian, Kaspers brings a Paris-meets-Barcelona mood to Bandra. It’s intimate, warm, and detailed with hand-laid mosaic floors and a colour-tile aesthetic that has already become a signature. The menu is refined but comforting, with dishes like vegetarian bouillabaisse toast, morcilla with rosti, and thoughtfully executed desserts. It’s the kind of place you go for a date night, a solo bar seat, or a quietly impressive meal.

Address: St Andrews Road, Bandra West, Mumbai

Timings: 12 pm to 3 pm, 7 pm to 11 pm

Mezcalita, Bandra: One of the liveliest New Restaurants in November 2025

If you’re looking for high-energy evenings with good food and better cocktails, Mezcalita nails the brief. The space channels a modern Mexican cantina vibe, the kind you’d expect in a coastal Latin city, with a bar that leans deep into tequila and mezcal. Expect punchy tacos, slow-cooked ribs, crisp tostadas and desserts like Tres Leches. A perfect pick for nights that start with dinner and turn into drinks.

The Nook, Bandra: A soft, warm addition to the New Restaurants in November 2025 list

Warm, quiet, and unmistakably stylish, The Nook feels like a home you’d want to spend all day in. Mornings mean croissant lattes and soft sunlight. Evenings flip into craft cocktails like Smoke & Soil or The Grind. The food stays light but thoughtful, from fig crostini to truffle fries. It’s deliberately calm, perfect for long conversations, solo time or a soft launch date.

Dough & Joe, Bandra: Neighbourhood favourite in the making among New Restaurants in November 2025

Slow-fermented pizzas, small-batch pasta, clever coffee and a space that feels nostalgic yet fresh. Dough & Joe is the newest hangout on Hill Road, housed inside Khan House with vintage Italian touches, a Vespa on the terrace and warm terracotta tones. The menu lands somewhere between comfort and craft, with Thecha Prawns pizza, Ghee Roast Ravioli and Vietnamese-style Joe’s Special coffee. Alcohol-free for now, which sets it apart in a neighbourhood of bars.

The Penang Table, Bandra: A fresh Asian addition among the New Restaurants in November 2025

Mumbai finally has a full-fledged Malaysian restaurant, and it’s already buzzing. The Penang Table explores Malaysian-Chinese-Indian flavours with classics like Roti Canai, Lamb Rendang, Banana Leaf Fish and Char Kway Teow. The space is warm, modern and perfect for when you want something Asian but not the usual sushi-dim-sum cycle.

Luna et Sol, Lower Parel: Most theatrical of the New Restaurants in November 2025

An Alpine dreamscape in the middle of Mumbai. Luna et Sol is immersive, atmospheric and built for drama. The ceiling projections shift from snowfall to starlight, shawls come out as the room cools, and the cocktails are inspired by the planets. The food takes a French-Swiss-Italian route with intricate plates and polished service. It’s a destination restaurant meant for celebrations, special nights and people who enjoy a little theatre.

Hearth, Churchgate: A South Bombay highlight among New Restaurants in November 2025

Set inside Eros Cinema, Hearth is a progressive grill-focused restaurant built on fire, smoke and technique. The open kitchen is its heart, and the plates lean toward clean flavours and elevated barbecue. Expect steaks, lamb, smoked vegetables and drinks that work well with grilled food. It’s an easy pick for South Mumbai nights when you want something polished but not overly formal.

8ish, Nariman Point: Soft and easygoing in this month’s New Restaurants in November 2025

A soft, easygoing space by Rachel Goenka that captures the in-between hours of the day. 8ish is designed for people who want a place to pause, sip something good and stay a little longer. The interiors strike a balance between polished and unfussy. The menu moves from light bites to full plates, with cocktails and wines to match. It’s not a destination spot as much as it is a ritual: drop in, unwind, repeat.
