Discover what’s new in Mumbai’s food and nightlife scene from fresh all-day menus and weekend brunches to live music nights, dessert experiences and bar takeovers.
Mumbai’s dining and nightlife scene continues to evolve with new menus, immersive experiences, and weekend events designed to match every mood and moment.
As Mumbai’s dining and social landscape continues to evolve, the city is embracing experiences that flow effortlessly through the day and into the night. Today’s urban audience seeks more than just good food or well-crafted drinks—they look for spaces that understand timing, mood, and the rhythm of modern living. From relaxed mornings and indulgent brunches to spirited evenings filled with music, cocktails, and conversation, hospitality is becoming increasingly experience-led.
There is also a growing emphasis on versatility. Menus are being designed to adapt seamlessly across hours, atmospheres are becoming more intuitive, and venues are crafting moments that invite repeat visits rather than one-time occasions. Whether it’s a quiet coffee ritual, an immersive dining journey, or a high-energy nightlife experience, the city’s hospitality scene is responding with creativity and intent.
This shift reflects a deeper desire for balance, where indulgence meets comfort, innovation respects familiarity, and every hour of the day has something distinctive to offer.
1. Juliette Café & Bar Rolls Out a New Menu Rooted in Its AM–PM Philosophy
There’s a certain ease to places that understand timing, and Juliette Café & Bar gets it just right. The fluid café-to-bar destination has introduced a thoughtfully curated new all-day menu that mirrors the way the city moves today. Formerly known as Juliette Ristorante & Bar, the space has evolved with a lighter touch and a sharper point of view. Backed by the creative vision of Ranbir Nagpal and Atul Chopra of Yazu Hospitality, Juliette blends comfort, craft, and character into a space designed for repeat visits.
At the heart of the café’s identity is its AM–PM culinary philosophy—versatile, intuitive, and built around repeat cravings. Helmed by Executive Chef Rohan Taru, the multi-cuisine menu balances familiarity with refinement, blending global influences with comfort-driven dishes designed for all-day dining. From light café-style plates to hearty mains and shareable offerings, the menu evolves naturally as the day progresses.
Signature highlights include Broccoli Velouté, Arabic Mezze, Baked Sri Lankan Sea Bass with Parmesan Leek Tart, Golden Crisp Cottage Cheese Sizzler with Roast Sauce, and Za’atar-Spiced Chicken—each crafted to feel equally suited to a relaxed lunch or an evening gathering. The all-day offering also spans soups, salads, Indian dishes, burgers, wraps, pizzas, pastas, sizzlers, and more, ensuring something comforting yet distinctive at every hour.
The beverage programme follows the same intuitive flow. Daytime offerings spotlight a collaboration with Nandan Coffee alongside specialty brews, boba teas, cold coffees, milkshakes, iced teas, and matcha-based creations, as well as inventive non-alcoholic drinks. As evening approaches, the bar takes centre stage with a cocktail menu curated by mixologist Kaustubh Sawardekar. Standout creations include Bombay High, First Light, Rush Hour, Goan Chorizo, and Jack & Roots each reinterpreting familiar Indian flavours through modern mixology.
Adding to the experience are time-led rituals such as Bottomless Coffee and Unlimited Matcha from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, Happy Hours till 7:00 pm, and bakery offerings at 50% off from 7:30 pm onwards. Every element is designed to encourage guests to return at different hours, for different moods.

Nigiri and sashimi selections highlight craftsmanship, with options such as Hamachi Yellowtail, Sake Salmon, and Maguro Tuna Akami.
