"Who does it best? Call me a snob, but my favourite place is Sea Lounge. It is best to sit at a window seat in this iconic café, with a plate of Dahi Batata Puri and a cup of Masala Chai, and watch the violent grey waves of the Arabian Sea."

"My favourite restaurant there is the Sea Lounge, which serves bhel-puri with a view of the sea and connects me to the Bombay of my childhood."

"The spread is an excellent mix of traditional finger sandwiches with Indian chaat such as pani puri. Except that the pani puri is now innovatively served in shot glasses."
