The two things I love most about Sundays in Mumbai are brunches and sunset parties — both on the beach. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of the Sunday brunch at Vie Deck and Lounge at Juhu. A little further along Juhu beach, Aurus hosts a weekly Sunday Sundown Session from 5 p.m. I had a blissful time there last Sunday….

One restaurant that’s been getting quite a bit of publicity lately is the Swad Shakti ayurvedic restaurant. It’s located at the Ayurshakti Health Centre in Malad, an outer western suburb of Mumbai. Feeling like I needed some healthy food after being forced to eat so much during Diwali, I suggested to my husband on Sunday that we go there for lunch…

Last night, much to my delight, I finally got the chance to drive an auto rickshaw again. I’d been longing to do so ever since the Rickshaw Challenge ended….

I relished the opportunity to have a relatively “normal” lunch out today. That is, a lunch like I used to have with my friends back home — Western food, drinks, and interesting conversation. I go to these lunches every month or so in Mumbai, with some of the other crazy foreign women who are married to Indian guys and living in the city….

With fresh fruit and a leafy green environment on my mind (I’m still reliving my recent trip to Wayand Kerala), I headed out last night dreaming of consuming a cocktail or few in a place totally removed from the madness of Mumbai. Much to my surprise, the dream became a reality — at a bar named after an endangered ape living in the Congo…..

Last night, we went out to the Tequila Lounge in Andheri West. It was the second time that I’d been to the venue. The first was for the launch of Chill Om Record’s Swaraaj album (recommended if you like world electronica music) in December. This time we were there to see Surbahar from Bulgaria, who was completing a tour of India…

One of the things I really missed when I came to India was good wine. Indians are only just discovering wine. Although its popularity as a drink is growing every year, it can still be a challenge to find reasonably priced, decent quality wine here.
Therefore I was rapt to discover the Ivy Wine Cafe. [...]

I love a good Sunday brunch. Fortunately, Sunday brunch happens in a huge way in Mumbai. There are so many top restaurants that offer delicious all you can eat and drink Sunday brunch buffets. Today we went to Vie Deck and Lounge, on Juhu Beach….
