Andheri

Street food
If you head towards Mithibai College after turning towards Andheri flyover from Juhu Circle, watch out for a few guys sitting on bikes. They are the delivery boys for Mohd Nashir Cooperwala, where you get pav bhaji and anda bhurji till the wee hours of the morning.

At Mangal Jyot Building, CD Barfiwala Road, Vile Parle West.
Time 6 pm to 1 am (keep an eye out for the delivery boys after)
Call 9324706250
Cost for two Rs 350

Sit-down meal
Considering how it's a hub for film and TV folk, it's natural that Andheri will have restaurants that stay open till odd hours of the night. Thooso is one of the best such places. It serves a range of north Indian dishes, including staples like butter chicken and reshmi kebab, and more unusual ones like chicken khurchan.

At Royal Sand Society, Adarsh Nagar, Oshiwara, Andheri West.

Bandra

Street food
If you head to Sigdi's after a night out in Bandra, chances are you'll have to wait a considerable while before getting your order. The place is one of the party crowd's favourite spots in the suburb for late-night munchies, with a range of north Indian and Chinese dishes.

At Abbas Compound, off Waterfield Road, Linking Road, Bandra West.
Time 11 am to 6 am

Sit-down meal
By now, Mini Punjab's has become an institution of sorts. Best of luck getting a place to sit there if you reach beyond 1.30 am. The place, by then, is filled with creatures of the night. Their famous rolls are ideal for takeaway. But for a sit-down meal, try the chicken kadhai or mutton rogan josh.

At Kailash Shopping Center, Pali Hill, Bandra West. time 12 noon to late night
Call 26006164
Cost for two Rs 900

South mumbai

Street food
You've probably been living under a rock if you are a Mumbaikar and don't know of Bademiyan. But outside of Colaba's most famous late-night food haunt, there is also Carter's Blue in Kala Ghoda that serves scrumptious shawarmas and other Lebanese dishes late into the night. There are Mughlai and Chinese dishes, too, but we suggest you stick to the Lebanese fare.

At Kala Ghoda, Fort. time 12 pm to 3 am
Call 30151883
Cost for two RS 900

Sit-down meal
Ustaadi is a swanky restaurant that has a comprehensive, eclectic menu, which includes everything from Indian to Asian and continental dishes. In the mood for a late-night risotto? They have you covered. Prefer pad thai? No problem there either. Want paneer makhani instead? That's available, too.

At Sitaram Building, Dr DN Road, CST. time 12 pm to 4 am
Call 23401976
Cost for two Rs 1,200

Lower Parel

Sit-down meal

Time 11 am to 3 am
Call 8080806840

Street food
Take a detour after partying in Lower Parel towards Shivaji Park in Dadar. That's where you'll find Kallu's Rajput Fast Food Centre. It's open all night, and attracts a massive number of customers who line up for their spicy pav bhaji and range of Chinese dishes. Mind you, considering how popular the place, you might have to wait a while before your food is served.

At The Big Burger, you get what's on the label. For, the patties in the burgers they serve are, as the name of the place suggests, big. They come in a variety of options, such as classic, Thai chilli and Italian caprese. You can also grab stuff like chicken nuggets, wings and French fries, if that's what you're in the mood for.

Gurukripa is one of those places that strikes the right balance between being a noisy, dingy place and a sophisticated, plush restaurant. The place serves a variety of Mughlai dishes that come to the rescue of party animals in Powai. And of the side dishes, try their chana garlic fry.

At Tunga Village, opposite Local Office Bus Stop, Saki Vihar Road, Powai. time 11 am to 4 am
