Date spots in Mumbai
24 date spots that Mumbai locals recommend — the real reasons, and the caveats.
Rooftop evenings at Aer and Asilo, seaside dinners at Cecconi's and Estella, coffee at Prithvi and August Cafe, and outdoor dates at Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Food, value and noise disagreements stay visible, with named-outlet experiences kept separate.
Recommendations concern named public places in Mumbai, not hotels, stays or unnamed activities. Some Mumbai-business recommendations share one named outlet without transferring branch-specific experiences. Counts describe distinct cited Reddit comments and people, not visits. Three otherwise gate-passing candidates remain private after pin, identity or evidence review; upstream coverage and model-error holds mean the source set is not complete.
Drawn from real discussions in r/mumbai — 24 date spots in Mumbai that people actually recommend. Each one shows why people rate it, the caveats they raised, and a link straight to the original comment — so you read the source yourself instead of trusting a laundered rating. Places cluster around Bandra, Colaba, Dadar and Khar.

Places
1.Aer
19 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Aer at Four Seasons in Worli is repeatedly suggested for dates, with sunset views, cocktails and the rooftop setting recurring in the recommendations. Several commenters make the choice conditional on budget. Food opinions differ: one calls it mediocre while another praises it. One commenter describes a choice between quieter seating and a louder, busier section; that is an individual report, not a promise of a quiet table.
- RecommendsSuggested going at sunset time for the proposal r/mumbai, Nov 2024
- MixedOne commenter feels the food is average but the view and cocktails make it work for a date. r/mumbai, Jul 2026
2.Cecconi's
9 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Cecconi's in Juhu draws repeated date recommendations. One commenter highlights its beachside setting and another describes it as ocean-facing. One praises the Italian food, while another specifically likes it for a first date. Cost is the main recorded caveat: one commenter warns that cocktails would push the meal beyond the requested budget.
- RecommendsRecommends Soho House and Cecconi's for the date night. r/mumbai, Nov 2025
- MixedWarns Cecconi's will exceed the stated budget once cocktails are included. r/mumbai, Nov 2025
3.Razzberry Rhinoceros
9 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Razzberry Rhinoceros in Juhu is repeatedly named in romantic-date and dinner-date discussions. Most suggestions are brief, rather than detailed accounts of the food or setting. One commenter also suggests it for a proposal. Another calls it good but explicitly says they have not visited in a while, so that endorsement should not be read as a recent first-hand assessment.
- RecommendsSuggested as a beachside date option in the Juhu area. r/mumbai, Jul 2025
4.Asilo
8 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Asilo at St. Regis in Lower Parel is repeatedly suggested for romantic dinners and dates, with the view a recurring reason to choose it. Two commenters make the recommendation conditional on budget. One says the view compensates for food they did not rate highly. Another, who says they have visited both, prefers Asilo to Aer. An anniversary suggestion comes from one commenter, not a separate anniversary consensus.
- RecommendsSuggested as a romantic dinner option for their date night. r/mumbai, May 2026
- MixedFood not that good but the view makes up for it. r/mumbai, Oct 2026
5.The Bombay Canteen
8 people recommendvia r/mumbai
The Bombay Canteen is repeatedly recommended for date-night dinners. Two commenters praise its food and drinks; one of them also finds the menu limited and advises booking ahead for weekends. Another regards it as a more premium-priced option. A recommendation in a Powai-based discussion explicitly questions whether the journey fits the requested travel limit, so this is not a promise of a short trip from Powai.
- RecommendsRecommends The Bombay Canteen among restaurants for food and cocktails during the couple's visit. r/mumbai, Aug 2024
6.Estella
8 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Estella in Juhu is repeatedly suggested for dates. Two commenters discussing proposals highlight its beach view, with one specifically recommending sunset. A separate commenter names it for an anniversary dinner. One of the proposal suggestions describes it as romantic but not isolated; the evidence does not establish private seating, indoor seating or any guaranteed arrangement.
- RecommendsLists it as a dinner recommendation for the date. r/mumbai, Dec 2024
7.Candies, Bandra
8 people recommend, 1 warns against itcounted across its outletsvia r/mumbai
Candies receives recommendations across its Mumbai outlets, represented here by Pali Hill in Bandra. Some replies name Hill Road, whose outlet-specific details stay separate. Commenters praise the setting and value, and one reports an especially enjoyable date. Dissent matters: one finds the food disappointing, another calls it average, and a third considers it more of a college hangout than a date venue.
Bandra
- RecommendsRecommends it as an inexpensive, attractive and good spot for a date in Bandra. r/mumbai, Feb 2025
- CaveatCalls it overhyped with meh food, would not recommend for a foodie. r/mumbai, Aug 2024
8.Tresind
8 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/mumbai
Tresind in BKC is repeatedly suggested for dinner dates. One repeat visitor likes the food but finds it expensive, while another recommendation describes a choice of course menus. Opinions on the overall experience differ: one commenter finds it underrated, another prefers Masque, and a separate warning considers its decor less impressive than hotel dining rooms. A menu recommendation mentions dietary requests, but does not establish that any particular request will be accommodated.
- RecommendsRecommends Tresind's course menus and suggests asking about dietary preferences. r/mumbai, Oct 2026
- CaveatAdvises against Tresind if photographs matter, considering the decor less impressive than hotel dining rooms. r/mumbai, Oct 2026
9.Subko, Bandra
7 people recommendcounted across its outletsvia r/mumbai
Date recommendations span Subko's Mumbai outlets, represented here by Mary Lodge in Bandra. Commenters suggest the brand for coffee, first dates and solo outings, but most do not identify an outlet. Two recommendations pair a Subko stop with the Art and Charlie gallery; one explicitly names Subko Mini in the gallery building. Those Mini-specific details describe that branch, not Mary Lodge.
Bandra
- RecommendsCalls it a small cute cafe in the same building worth checking out. r/mumbai, Oct 2026
10.Indian Accent
7 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Indian Accent at NMACC is repeatedly suggested for dinner dates, with three commenters recommending the tasting menu. One visitor recommends the ghee roast and burrata chaat. Another reports enjoying an anniversary meal and describes leaving satisfied without overeating. A separate commenter recommends the set menu for an anniversary dinner but says it is not a live-Bollywood-music option. An earlier recommendation frames it as a splurge.
- RecommendsRecommends Indian Accent at NMACC, praising dishes from an August visit. r/mumbai, Oct 2026
11.Prithvi Cafe
7 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Prithvi Cafe in Juhu is repeatedly suggested for dates, including solo outings. Several commenters combine the cafe with a play or a beach walk. One suggests coffee after a theatre visit, and another describes going to the cafe after walking on Juhu Beach. One commenter considers it reasonably priced for its fame; that is an individual value judgement.
- RecommendsSuggests Prithvi Cafe for a date and considers it reasonably priced for its fame. r/mumbai, Dec 2025
12.Bayview Cafe
6 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Bayview Cafe in Colaba is repeatedly suggested for dates, with commenters highlighting the sea view and one also mentioning the Gateway. Food opinions differ: one calls it more than decent, while another likes sunset visits but finds the food disappointing. One commenter raises the possibility of a busy Christmas visit. This is the Colaba cafe, not the separately named Bay View at Marine Plaza on Marine Drive.
- RecommendsLists it as a dinner recommendation for the date. r/mumbai, Dec 2024
- MixedOne commenter finds the Colaba spot great at sunset with an alright vibe but says the food isn't great. r/mumbai, Nov 2025
13.Sanjay Gandhi National Park
6 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Sanjay Gandhi National Park is repeatedly suggested for outdoor dates, including cycling, short treks and solo visits. Two commenters propose it in a monsoon context. One specifically recommends a guided morning trail walk as a low-pressure date, with time to talk while walking. Another suggests visiting Kanheri Caves. These are suggested activities and individual experiences, not promises about rentals, weather, access or a currently scheduled hike.
- RecommendsSuggests the couple go cycling there. r/mumbai, Aug 2024
14.Eve, Powai
6 people recommendcounted across its outletsvia r/mumbai
Eve receives date recommendations across its Mumbai outlets, represented here by Powai, with Worli also discussed. Two commenters explicitly suggest Powai for a date, while other replies name the brand without an outlet. One Worli recommendation praises the food and decor; that experience describes Worli, not Powai. Most support consists of short dinner-date suggestions rather than detailed first-hand reports.
Powai
- RecommendsLists it as a dinner recommendation for the date. r/mumbai, Dec 2024
15.Olive Bar and Kitchen
6 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Olive Bar and Kitchen in Khar is repeatedly suggested for romantic dinners and dates. One commenter particularly likes its evening atmosphere; another thinks it fits the requested date well. A separate recommendation calls it expensive. One author also lists it for an anniversary dinner, repeating the same list twice; that is one person's suggestion, not two independent anniversary endorsements. The records do not establish a conversation or quietness guarantee.
- RecommendsRecommended it for a date, saying the evening atmosphere there is excellent. r/mumbai, Mar 2026
16.August Cafe
6 people recommendvia r/mumbai
August Cafe in Khar receives repeated date recommendations, including answers to first-date and solo-date requests. Two commenters describe low music volume and a relaxed setting; one says they have returned several times and could linger over a meal. Value opinions differ: one finds it somewhat overpriced, while another praises the food, portions and pricing. These reports favour conversation, but do not guarantee a quiet or unrestricted visit.
- RecommendsReports repeat visits and low music volume, with time to linger over a meal. r/mumbai, Dec 2024
17.Woodside Inn, Colaba
6 people recommendcounted across its outletsvia r/mumbai
Woodside Inn receives recommendations across its Mumbai outlets, represented here by Colaba, with Bandra also discussed. Two commenters specifically suggest Colaba for a meal during a date. One broader recommendation praises the food, drinks and music volume while naming both outlets, without separating their experiences. A different suggestion starts a bar hop in Bandra; that itinerary describes Bandra, not Colaba.
Colaba
- RecommendsRecommended for good food as a date option. r/mumbai, Aug 2024
18.GrandMama's Cafe, Dadar
6 people recommend, 1 warns against itcounted across its outletsvia r/mumbai
GrandMama's Cafe receives recommendations across its Mumbai outlets, represented here by Dadar, with Chembur and Juhu also named. At Dadar, one commenter suggests the hazelnut shake or hot chocolate and describes a cozy lunch; another likes the marshmallow hot chocolate. Value opinions differ across outlets. One warns against the brand over a disputed service charge. A Chembur visitor criticises the coffee and spaghetti while enjoying the conversation; that food criticism describes Chembur, not Dadar.
Dadar
- RecommendsRecommends the Dadar and Chembur cafes for coffee, cafe food and value. r/mumbai, Oct 2025
- CaveatWarns against the cafe over a service-charge dispute that could spoil a date. r/mumbai, Sep 2024
19.Tanjore Tiffin Room, Khar
5 people recommendcounted across its outletsvia r/mumbai
Tanjore Tiffin Room receives recommendations across its Mumbai outlets, represented here by Khar, rather than reports about a single branch. Several commenters suggest the brand in date discussions. One visitor calls it very good, while another praises the food and atmosphere alongside two other restaurants they have tried. A dissenting commenter thinks there are better date venues despite liking the food. One recommendation specifically points to South Indian non-vegetarian cooking.
Khar
- RecommendsSuggested as a lunch spot for the birthday date. r/mumbai, Oct 2025
- MixedThinks better date spots exist but the food is excellent. r/mumbai, Apr 2026
20.Gallops
5 people recommendvia r/mumbai
Gallops receives date recommendations spanning Mahalaxmi and Mini Turf, represented here by Mahalaxmi. Two commenters specifically identify Mahalaxmi. One instead praises the food and a special-occasion setup at Mini Turf; that arrangement is not promised at Mahalaxmi. Another author lists Mahalaxmi for an anniversary dinner, repeating the same list twice. Most support is brief rather than detailed reports about the restaurant.
- RecommendsLists it as a dinner recommendation for the date. r/mumbai, Dec 2024
21.CinCin
5 people recommendvia r/mumbai
CinCin in BKC is repeatedly suggested for dinner dates. Two recommendations are in a first-date context: one praises the pasta, while another describes a cozy Italian setting and outdoor seating that made the occasion feel more relaxed. Other commenters simply name it among date-dinner options. The seating account is one person's experience, not a promise that an outdoor table will be available.
- RecommendsLists CinCin in BKC among dinner recommendations for the date. r/mumbai, Dec 2024
22.Masque
5 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/mumbai
Masque is repeatedly suggested for dinner dates and special occasions, including one anniversary-dinner recommendation. One commenter praises the food and cocktails in a list of suggestions, and another who has visited recommends it enthusiastically. The warning is about the setting: a commenter finds its decor less impressive than hotel restaurants when photographs matter. A separate recommendation questions the journey from Powai rather than promising it fits a tight travel limit.
- RecommendsLists Masque among places they've been to and loved. r/mumbai, Oct 2026
- CaveatAdvises against Masque if photographs matter, considering the decor less impressive than hotel dining rooms. r/mumbai, Oct 2026
23.Bandra Born
5 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/mumbai
Bandra Born is repeatedly suggested for dates, spanning lunch, dinner and drinks. The important disagreement concerns noise: one person names it in response to a quiet-date request, but another warns that the music is loud. It therefore has support as a date venue without a reliable claim to a quiet setting. Most recommendations are brief and do not establish particular dishes or a first-date advantage.
- RecommendsSuggested it for drinks on the date evening. r/mumbai, May 2025
- CaveatCautions that the music there is loud, contrary to the quiet-date requirement. r/mumbai, Jan 2026
24.Dome
5 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/mumbai
Dome at the InterContinental on Marine Drive is repeatedly suggested for dates. One recommendation highlights the rooftop atmosphere and another suggests sunset for someone willing to splurge. A dissenting commenter says it is no longer a strong choice and prefers another venue in the same hotel.
- RecommendsSuggests checking out Dome in Churchgate for the date. r/mumbai, Nov 2025
- CaveatSays Dome isn't great anymore for the proposal r/mumbai, Nov 2024
