Lokmat Building, Sector 30, Sanpada, Navi Mumbai
Rated: Excellent
Fab Chinese!
Golden Wok is simply delicious. The corn and water chestnut starter is excellent, although it could use some more water chestnut. Haka noodles are fantastic, spicy and not as greasy as the usual fare.
Highly recommended for Chinese food fans!!

Taj Mahal Hotel, Apollo Bunder, Colaba, Mumbai
Rated: Excellent
Friendly staff, great quiet watering hole
This maritime-themed bar has a great old friendly wait staff that makes sure your quiet drink is pleasurable. It is right downstairs from Wasabi and a perfect place to get started while waiting for your table of sushi upstairs. They have a great cocktail menu (it is the Taj!!) and nice comfortable chairs to sink into while you people watch out the windows. Small munchies are served with the drinks to whet your appetite. Think of this bar as a place that Sherlock Holmes would visit for a drink and a puff of his cob pipe.

Taj Wellington Mews, 33, Nathalal Parekh Marg, Colaba, Mumbai
Rated: Excellent
Fancy-shmancy, quaint
The Taj Wellington Mews has tucked into a corner of their lobby this pleasant little deli/cafe. It also doubles up as a gourmet grocery store for higher end foodstuffs, such as chocolates, wafers, granolas, and teas. Enjoy a latte, baked goods, or a sandwich here if you're in the area and need a quiet lunch break away from the Colaba madness.
Decor is modern/minimalist and could use a bit more character, but it still is a great quiet getaway. Beware: on the pricey side.

The Taj Mahal Palace & Tower, Apollo Bunder, Mumbai

Oh my oh me, what great sush-i
What can I say? Chef Morimoto (of Iron Chef fame) owned sushi joint at the Taj Mahal Palace is true to the core. No chicken sushi, or other weird Indian-ized concoctions. Pure fresh sashimi also available and the rolls are to die for. The only drawback? Price, price, price. Although I do not get much of an opportunity to head to town, even a once in a month trip breaks my purse.

Gulf Hotel, H. N. A. Azmi Marg, Next to Radio Club, Colaba, Mumbai
Rated: Good
above average food set in a cool ambiance
The food here is just above average and the service is a bit amateurish. Waiters are kind, but probably not experienced like you might expect a wait staff to be. The food is your traditional mughlai/north-western frontier fare, meaning very rich and heavy! The mushroom tikka was a great starter I must say - the dal makhani was as expected and the dum aaloo was just way too oily/rich/heavy for my taste.
The ambiance is what is special here - on the rooftop of the seedy Gulf Hotel, tables are set under canopies of clay - some of the larger tables have entire benches made out of the white mediterranean clay, which gives it more of a tropical look. I WISH this place served drinks, but unfortunately, all they have to offer are hookahs. Yech!
