Mumbai by midnight

Celini
Grand Hyatt

Herte are plenty of greens and sandwiches for midnight snackers here. Celini has a dedicated midnight menu which even features Indian food (despite being an Italian specialty restaurant). Chef Fabio Marella says, “It’s indeed unusual but we have included Indian dishes on the menu for convenience. People don’t always want to eat light at night. Guests often come down all the way from town just for our Tiramisu.” Their desserts, especially Zuccoto with berry sauce and crunchy Sfogliatina are to die for. It’s a particularly good deal for those who want to escape the long booking schedules but are ready to dole out the cash.

Khursheed’s Anda-pav
Opposite Amar Juice Center,
Juhu-Santa Cruz Road

LONG after most places shut shop for the day, Khursheed continues to serve his famous egg bhurji and omelette pav to carloads of people who come from across the city to eat at his humble stall. Hundreds of car windows roll down every night to eat his famous anda-pav, priced at Rs 20. He makes it hot and he makes it well. Khursheed has made a name for himself with his delicious egg preparation that come with onion rings, lemon and green coriander chutney. For those who like to watch their weight, he doesn’t dunk the pav in butter. This perfect recipe goes well with tea available from night time cyclewallahs.

La Brasserie
Le Royal Meridien

A MULTI-cuisine restaurant, the midnight buffet here is for those who prefer to have a light dinner post midnight. Chicken clear soup, sprouts, capsicum and lettuce salads and a few cold cuts, make for a good start. If a salad doesn’t whet your appetite, try the Roasted herb potatoes or the Vegetable casserole. For the main course, there is plenty to choose from — three varieties of rice, chicken and fish (both Indian and Chinese style). The USP - they’re all light on the tummy. But the pick of the buffet is the dessert section with chocolate mousse, gulab jamun, rasmalai and a variety of assorted desserts. Add to this, a complimentary beer, a soft drink or fresh fruit juice, and all this for just Rs 450. The pleasant noise of money saved.

Rodas Ecotel
Hiranandani, Powai

COMMUTING to Rodas is an effort that foodies gladly take to try out their midnight buffet, which is lavish and reasonably priced. Every section has plenty to choose from. The mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian soups, salads and appetisers fill you up so much that there is hardly any space left for the main course. For those who want to skip the starters, a multi-cuisine main course provides you with a lot of variety that includes chicken, lamb, fish and vegetarian dishes. But make sure you save up your appetite for some dessert. It is the best section with a variety of mousses, pastries and Indian desserts to choose from.

Colaba

THIS place is for those who wish to make the most of their night out with friends—be it hanging out after a hard day at work or spending time with friends after a party. This restaurant serves a mix of Indian and Chinese cuisine. It also has a variety of beverages to choose from—beer, vodka, rum, soft drinks to tea, coffee and fresh fruit juices. Light snacks like French fries, fish fingers and crispy chicken are a favourite with most of the regulars (also try out their sesame toast to know why). The open terrace and the sea view make sure that this place has regular visitors.
