Pali Bhavan

Last weekend, I finally got around to visiting Pali Bhavan in Bandra--and honestly, it was everything people had hyped it up to be. From the outside, it doesn't scream for attention, but once you step in, it's like walking into a different time. The place has this old-world charm--vintage furniture, dim lights, and walls covered in old portraits and mirrors. It's got a bit of a royal-meets-rustic vibe, which I loved.

Gave 4 stars because the food we ordered was solid, about 4/5, though it lacked that wow factor. Everything else about this place is fantastic. The cocktails are easily some of the best in town--strong and packed with flavor. The ambiance is amazing, making it an ideal spot to catch up with old friends or enjoy a meal with family, though it might not be the best choice for a date. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially when it comes to recommending dishes. While the food is a bit on the pricey side, the drinks and ambiance definitely make it worth the cost.

We had lovely dinner at Pali Bhavan, the fish starter (can't remember the name) was so tender and delicious, best dish I had in Mumbai! Love the deco of the restaurant, staff were friendly, highly recommend, will probably sit downstairs next time, the AC upstairs is a little bit fierce though :).

This is what a great restaurant should be like. Amazing vegetarian options beyond paneer. Great service, amazing food. Classy place so bit expensive. Perfect for special occasions. This place been around almost 12 years and is a famous Bandra legend.

Pali Bhavan is definitely one of the finest restaurants in Mumbai offering amazing North Indian food. Their Tandoori Broccoli is out of this world and a must have! If you're in a bigger group, also try the Tandoori Shakarkhand (sweet potato). For the mains, I would recommended the Panner Khatta Pyaaz and Dal Makhani. Food overall is outstanding. Service might seem a bit slow especially on busy days but trust me, the wait just makes the food taste even better!

My wife and I went here on our first night in Mumbai. And WOW we were blown away! The astonishing interior takes you back a 100 year meanwhile the menu clearly shows that this is not dated! We had the best butter chicken I have ever tried! And I've had my share the coconut chicken was a bliss as well! We also tried the Chaat and it was crazy! All fresh mango chutney with crispies. Really good. Get a drink meanwhile you're here!

Beautiful vibe but a little overpriced (the sparkling water was so expensive!) i guess this is normal in bandra? The interior design made this experience great too!

Always a must visit when we come to Mumbai. Exceptional food and a very impressive selection of dishes across the menu. One of my favourite Mumbai spots, the Avocado Bhel is delightful.
