Eating continues to be an intrinsic part of life but eating out has become synonymous with life in Mumbai. This can be credited to the fact that Mumbai is a city made up of immigrants and continues to be an immigrant's dream. For people who are away from their family, eating out is a necessity and for others, often a break from the routine. Infact for thousands of others who live life on the run, it is their lifeline.

Mumbai has the best selection of restaurants of any Indian city. You could probably trace the history of the metropolis by trawling through the amazing variety of food available: Parsi dhansak, Gujarati thalis, Muslim kebabs, Mangalorean seafood and, of course, Mumbai's specialty bhelpuri -a tasty snack of crisp noodles, puffed rice, spiced vegetables, crushed puri, chutney and chilies.
The city's delicious seafood is safe to eat-even during the monsoon months. Today, eating out has become more of a convenience than a luxury. A wholesome hygienic meal can be had for as little as Rs. 20/- or if you have deep pockets, you could spend a few thousands at one of the star restaurants. Check out below some of Mumbai's best eat outs and have a great meal!
