In a city like Mumbai, finding a clean and serene beach to sit down and dine at while enjoying a gorgeous sunset is almost impossible. Let's be clear- having a beach view and eating on a beach are completely different things and the latter definitely triumphs. And Café Serene is one of those hidden gems that lets you enjoy the pleasure of having a nice meal on a clean secluded beach!
This beauty is located on the virgin beach that Uttan in Bhayander is. What's beautiful to observe is the fusion of Indian and Moroccan architecture which sets the mood to send you into a deep trance. It is the perfect spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a romantic night out, or a family day out. It also doubles up as a great spot to hang out with your friends. They have separate seating arrangements for families, couples and stags. Apart from the beautiful décor of canopies, beanbags and ornamental chairs, the restaurant also hosts kick-ass DJ Nights and a lot of events like bonfire evenings and Bollywood parties.
When it comes to food, Café Serene doesn’t disappoint. From Indian to Chinese to soups to salads, they have it all. The dishes you must call for are Gobhi Manchurian, Paneer Tikka, Chicken Spring Roll, Biryani, Tawa Chicken, and Bhindi Masala. They're all finger-licking good! And they're all priced between INR 200 and INR 400.
So if you're looking for a Hippie ambience, or to groove to Bollywood nights, or for some relaxed beach vibes and splendid sea-view, you've got to bookmark Cafe Serene.
