Americano is that lively neighbourhood restaurant by Chef Alex Sanchez that can very easily become your new go-to. Their share plates are so inventive, you might just start a foodstagram on the spot. The signature pizzas are handmade, perfectly charred, and melt-in-your-mouth good, while the cocktails are so refined you’ll find yourself sipping slowly just to make them last. And we have zero complaints when it comes to the ambience. Spacious seating, a buzzing bar, and standing benches, they have got it all right!

The world’s first and only Indian vegetarian restaurant to get one Michelin star, Avatāra also opened up in Mumbai last year and completely flipped the game with their modern take on Indian food. Derived from the Sanskrit word incarnation, the restaurant takes you on a journey that channels the various forms of Indian cuisine when coupled with different techniques and culinary approaches. Beyond all these fancy words, one can expect a pure vegetarian tasting menu that spotlights the humblest of veggies you otherwise wouldn't touch (karela and loki gang, hands up).

An OG that never disappoints, Yauatcha in BKC has been our ‘Don’t wanna overthink where to eat’ spot when we want food that’s tried-and-tested (and immensely loved). FYI, the place is packed on weekends, and if you don’t have a reservation, you can find yourself at the long, community table with the high stools, which is a great spot for chatting away with the gang and enjoying appetisers. The perfect dinner spot with lovely Asian food, their dim sum and cheung fun are top-tier. And that dim-lit, moody ambience with the bar and wine cellar just adds to the mood.

Indian Accent brought its magic from Delhi to BKC’s NMACC with all the jazz, and some say, the food is even better than its predecessor. With its high ceilings and luxurious setting, it certainly does hold up the fanciness Indian Accent is known for. The best way to navigate through the menu is to get the tasting menu that serves you Indian favourites but elevated. There’s the Indian Accent Shorba with Blue Cheese Naan, Sindhi Dal Pakwan, Churan ka Karela, and Dahi Bhalla, Meetha Achar Pork Ribs, Strawberry Kala Khatta Kulfi Sorbet and lots more with that Daulat Ki Chaat you have seen every person post on their IG stories.

Locals know how amazing the food here is. We all love the fried garlic that comes as a side, the paan shot that’s the perfect palate cleanser, and the experimental Vodka Pani Puri.
