Mumbai’s food scene never slows down. Every month, there’s something new opening up, and these latest restaurants and cafés are making all the right buzz. From Sanjay Dutt’s glamorous first restaurant to a fiery dining spot in Bandra, the city has plenty to explore. This October, each of these new restaurants in Mumbai brings something fresh and exciting, whether it’s bold flavours, creative menus, or just a vibe that makes you want to stay longer.
New Restaurants In Mumbai To Check Out In October
1. Solaire, Grand Hyatt Mumbai
Sanjay Dutt has opened his very first restaurant, Solaire, at the Grand Hyatt, and it already feels like one of the most exciting places in the city. The food is truly at the heart of Solaire. You’ll find slow-cooked Indian curries with heritage spices and European delicacies like artisanal burrata, Parmigiano cheese, and French pastries with Italian coffee. What makes the menu fun is that some of the dishes are inspired by Sanjay Dutt’s own travels and personal favourites but given a completely new twist. And then there’s the bar, a star attraction on its own. Imagine sipping on a cocktail that changes colour or trying a tangy gin-based drink inspired by Indian pickles. There’s also the Tamarind Picante and the bold Black Panther Party.
Where: Grand Hyatt, Bandra Kurla Complex, Siddharath Nagar, Vakola, Vicinity Located, Residences, Mumbai
When: 12 pm – 4 pm; 7 pm – 1:30 am
Cost: ₹2,500 (For two)
2. HOM
The name “HOM” comes from the Sanskrit word “homa”, a fire ritual, and fire really is central here. Whether it’s the big open kitchen with a tandoor and a wood-fired grill or the food itself that celebrates char, smoke, and flame, HOM is bursting with a primal yet modern vibe. On the plate, Chef Saurabh Udinia takes ingredients we all know and gives them a fiery, adventurous spin. For example, there’s Charred Broccoli with chilli-cashew sauce, Smoked Aubergine on Goan sambal toast, and Snapper Crudo with tamarind buttermilk. Created by the famous bar consultancy Countertop, the cocktails are fresh, tropical, and fun. Drinks like Ashes to Oolong with whisky and hojicha tea, or Beets by Café with vodka, espresso, and beetroot, show how creative the list is.
Where: 682-691, Khar Pali Rd, 15th Rd, Bandra West, Mumbai

The Sri Lankan-style cottage cheese curry is rich with coconut milk and fragrant spices, while the Toastada gives you that perfect crunch with beans and veggies layered on a crispy tortilla. And of course, the gooey cheese-filled Arancini is something everyone will want to order. Perfect to check out this October, this new restaurant in Mumbai is the kind of place where you discover something new with every visit.

You’ll find creations like Caliente, Mogo Mogo, and their signature Paloma 1950, which reimagines the famous Paloma cocktail with their own twist. But the food here is no less impressive, with options like crispy eggplant tacos, Mangalorean-style chicken drumsticks, temaki rolls, and even lobster risotto with smoky tandoori flavours.

In Bandra, The Black Shepherd is serving authentic British pub food without any Indian tweaks. Chef Rahul Kotak, who spent years in the UK, wanted to create a restaurant that feels like a love letter to British cuisine and pub culture. Their Fish & Chips, made with local Asian seabass, is crisp, golden, and paired with mushy peas and tartare sauce just like in the UK. Other favourites include the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Burger and delicate Madeleines for dessert.
