Restaurants in Mumbai
From Tandoori and Punjabi to Gujarati and Mughlai cuisine, Mumbai represents India’s scrumptious spectrum well, but expats will be pleased to know that their favourite butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are still accessible and regularly feature on most restaurants’ menus.
Tipping in Mumbai is common mostly in the more touristy restaurants, and 10% is standard. Locals and those foreign nationals who have settled in Mumbai for some time will know that baksheesh (a bribe) is more the norm and is presented to ensure better service before the meal.
