Native Bombay

Had a wonderful dinner at Native. The place is spacious with a warm, woody, rustic vibe and dim lighting. The food was delicious and came in generous portions. Service was friendly and quick. Did not visit the bar downstairs but it seemed pretty.

For the first time I enjoyed a meal without being exposed to loud noise or bad music in the background. I don't know if it's the people or the location but the atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm and quiet which is a rare find in Mumbai. We were able to enjoy our scrumptious food and delicious cocktails in peace. The ambiance of Native is contemporary and rustic at the same time. I love how they retained the skeleton structure of the building and infused modern elements to give an elegant facade. The staff were polite, friendly, and professional and the place is well maintained. However, I will tip my hat to the talented chef who created such culinary wonders. We had a wonderful time dining here.

We celebrated our parents 49th wedding anniversary here .. loved the food it is very interesting and I generally love a crisp menu . The desserts were delicious too . Love the ambience , decor , lighting . Will be visiting again very soon .

Dinner last night was @nativebombay with "family". ❤️🧿 Mini Naan Bombs - If you're fond of cheese dont, just dont, miss this. Theyre served piping hot with oozy cheese. Sigh! Maska Prawns - Four huge prawns. Succulent and top notch in flavour. The butter sauce was amazingly moreish. Seared Scallops - Perfectly seared, not overcooked at all. A dish i always order. I do avoid eating the greens, though. 🙈 Kokum & Chili Pork Belly - Absolute melt-in-the-mouth oink belly, in a kokum-chili sauce that was subtle yet yum! The silken mash as an accompaniment was perfect! This dish was sent out to us by the chef as he wanted us to try it. Prawns & Calamari - Both variants of seafood were spot on in texture, but the star of this dish was that rich broth. OMG! Jaan leva! Btw, this dish was also sent over by the chef. Naga Chili Pork with Cotton Kulcha - If you are someone who can tolerate crazy amount of spice/heat, then order this blindly. I feel like writing volumes about this dish, but i'll stick to one paragraph. 🤪 We hear of Naga Chilies being used for certain dishes, but most places are scared to use it in correct quantity. They're no cowards at @nativebombay 🥳 They'd used Naga Chilies in correct measure. The spiciness, the residual heat in our mouth.. it made us feel alive. We'd reorder this in a jiffy. The dish was not garnished as we had requested zero greens. Hai hum aise, kya kare? 🤪 So.. if you enjoy spiciness that drives you crazy, just order it. It was THAT GOOD! And yes, do order the classic Cotton Kulchas to go with it. To a wee extent, they'll help keep the crazy heat in check. Such a fantastic place and classic food!

Couldn’t recommend Native Bombay highly enough. The service was first class and the food surpassed all expectations. In particular, the fried okra, puffed rice Bhel salad, naan bomb and butter chicken were delicious. We also had wonderful loose leaf tea and a magnificent chocolate dessert. The ambience was so relaxing and it was a little oasis in the middle of the day. We would have returned time and time if it wasn’t our last day.

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY! Had my birthday lunch here and wow what a great place! We ate 3 starters and had a great lunch. Everything was satisfying and there was not a single dish that disappointed us

We came two times to the restaurant and tried multiple foods. We had both, veg and non vegetarian food. All was very good. Overall, the food and anbiete was very nice! Afzal was our waiter and he did also a great job. Very attentive and we even got to try some food on the house! Highly recommended, alcohol has western prices, but food is very good value for money! :)

While on our stay in Mumbai we already had some intense and great experiences, this place was by far the most impressive!! It´s a total gem, hidden inside a central part of the city (Fort) which is currently developed, so it may be a little hard to find. However, when you do, be prepared for one of the greatest cuisines in Mumbai! We visited 3 times and each and every time was a new experience. The food was the best we had in Mumbai, which is a lot, since every other restaurant we visited was are already very good and very tasty. But "Native Bombay" has beaten all one them. Put this place on your "TO DO!" list, when visiting Mumbai.

The blend of flavours, presentation and the perfect recommendation from Steiv ( our server ) made it a memorable experience. Thank you for making it a perfect night to remember. Ps . Pls invest in some nice gin glasses …
