πŸ”†Get tipsy at Mumbais Iconic Bar Janata BarπŸ”†Janata bar and restaurant in Bandra , Pali Hill is a inconspicuous looking bar thats filled with willful youngsters of Mumbai . It is perfect for those happy with lower prices and a bar vibe . They do not serve large or small pegs / beers by glass , so enjoy drinks by quarter or bottles . Janata is undoubtedly a crowd puller . Also be ready to share table and make new friends . This place is open upto 3am so chug your drink and eat lip smacking delicacies ..@maithilleeraorane@sslshivani .................#craveablesavourbykartika #mumbaikar #mumbaifoodlovers #mumbai #mumbaifoodies #mumbaifoodicious #mumbaifood #mumbairestaurants #mumbairestaurant #mumbaicafes #mumbaifoodie #janata #janatabar #barsofmumbai #iconic #iconicplaces #iconicrestaurant #iconicbar #iconicplacesinmumbai #bandra #bandrarestaurants #bandrabar

Famous for low budget alcohol. Very bombay crowd. Really good food. Variety of options. Seating is tight and accomodated in a tiny space but that is basically the charm of it.

Was here at the new years night on 1st 2020, crazy crowd. Great food, Cozy environment. Great place for after party drinks and dinner. Non veg was lip smacking and veg was delicious too. This place has a small entrance, no place for parking as its on a hill area in Bandra. Go here to have fun with your friends. Do not drink and drive :)

There are restaurants that depend upon influencers to give them a social media boost and on the other hand there are restaurants that are legendary. Restaurants that solely work cause of word of mouth publicity and the sole fact that they have been thoroughly consistent with their services over decades, and one of these is surely Janta Bar.

Janata Bar and Restaurant locater at Ambedkar Road, Pali Mala Rd, Bandra West. It is a decent place . Prices are not cheap for drinks but food is bit cheaper. You can go here if you are bored for visiting the Expensive clubs and pubs.Place is bit congested and you must go early to get a table. Overall a good experience with the service.

When you want to drink your heart out and still keep your wallet intact l, Janata is the place to go. Great bar food and drink at rates which will not make your wallet sweat.They have chicken lollypop and prawn Koliwada dish which is a perfect treat with that pint of beer.And yeah, BIRA here costs only 200 bucks! Cheers!

Lovely local watering hole. Excellent for a casual outing with friends. Community seating is a novel practice and strangers sitting at the same table are ALWAYS polite and friendly, you get to meet new people and chat with them for a lovely evening. Conversely, If you come in a group, you wont be disturbed by others either.Generally frequented by people who are in the mood for affordable alcoholic beverages, however, many people visit just to enjoy the delicious food - vegetarian, non-vegetarian, sea food - very well prepared and served fresh and hot.

Cheap drinks, thriving ambience, delicious food and an evening with friends. What more can you want from a place. Staff is courteous and attentive. Since the place is a bit overcrowded, you may have to share your table with another group. The sea food here tastes great. A budget friendly place for a great time with friends.

Review β„–33

Janata bar is my go to place for a great evening with friends. Good food, Good drinks, Happy atmosphere, cooperative servers, excellent service, great speed of delivery of food and drink.No wonder it find itself in many travel books and is famous with locals and travellers including foreigners alike. Also a very safe place for girls. Unlike a typical bar restaurant where only men frequent you will see many of the equal gender and that also builds a unique melting pot of faces and voice. People share seats when it is full. They have three sections. Non AC on ground floor and Two AC sections on the top floor. They need to take care of fire safety since the route to the top floor is by a narrow staircase and the kitchen is right below.

Good place to have liquor and snacks with your friends. This place is good of you are going in a group of 4 or 6. You will be asked to share the table if you go as a couple. No ambience. Lot of noise. Food service is slow. Liquor is cheap. But yeah amazing place to chit chat in a big group.

This is situated at Pali market road, on the slope just next to it a few blocks away from famous Punjab sweet house , which no one can ever miss.Janta bat is also quite famous and has been over the years servingThey have grown from just a small shop to big one now where one can take their friends and near dear ones to the mezzanine first floor.It gives quarter system which is very less expensive for people who don’t want to have moreAll these people usually sit downstairsCouples groups go upstairs in ACIt’s usually full most of the time starting evening timeMany a times during rush there may be different people sitting and sharing table due to lack of spaceThere food is excellentThe only thing is for which I’m giving less stars to them is the huge noise levels and cramped space and now the food they charge is quite expensive. They have a cash counter on the ground floor. Also people come here for parcels. Desi food and seafood is well prepared even the chicken dishes are quite awesome along with egg dishes like omelette. They also serve pow with the main dish which is very less or hardly served in restaurants in Bandra side. There is no bar or hardly any bar in Bandra which serves quarter system the rates of alcohol are okay but only the food is expensive which off late is in some years charged moreThey usually close down by 1230 1 o’clock in the night.

The best and cheapest place near Pali hill to drink and eat. Alcohol is very cheap. Quick fast service. The first floor has AC and is more pricier than the ground floor. If with women the first floor is good. Generally not much space but good enough. The staff is courteous and service is quick.

Local bar. Excellent service. Very reasonable alcohol. You will also find alcohol brands which you may not expect at first. Nostalgic atmosphere. You will see anyone from college going kids to old people visiting this place. There are many regulars here. Dont expect luxury. Its a place to relax with friends & have a few drinks without burning a hole in your pocket. No music. Just people chatting all over the place and sharing the moments of their lives. Visit once to experience it.

I measure service and food at almost all restaurants against this local Bandra boite. The servers are congenial and prompt, the food from the tandoor perfectly cooked, the best Bombil fry in town, and the place is paisa vasool. I love the front room, no ac, ground floor.

Review β„–72

This Hotel is at Bandra Hill Road Junction, You will see the sophisticated crowd visiting this place. The only challenge is of place. If you reach after 8 pm there then you have to wait till the table gets empty or may be share the table with someone. Ambiance is good but yea lot of noise as its compact place so upstairs they have 2 sections one section of 150 sqft with 10 Tables and second section of 100 sqft with 6 Tables. So you can imagine how much noisy it would be when all tables are full and with so much noise you try to speak than the normal tone of yours. Whatever but with crowd that comes there you forget all this. I recommend friends, couples and family to visit here for food and drinks.

Heritage venue... Excellent Indian food (Id suggest avoid the Chinese), well priced, prompt service. Only issue is that because the place is small, they ask you to share tables with unknown people during peak hours which isnt ideal.

This restaurant and bar should be re named as Peoples Republic, a must visit on your list in Mumbai, dont let the first impression fool you, enter in if you want to meet some really cool people just there to have some good grub and be in high spirits. You may have to share a table as space is a contract, but in that lies the beauty of this place. Alcohol is reasonably priced for Bandra and the food is awesome. Not a place if you want to sit and drink alone and sulk....strike a conversation and Im sure you wont be disappointed

Review β„–96

The place is small and theres acute space crunch. Cheap booze is on the other side of the bargain. No privacy, ambience, comfort. No smoking area, youll have to exit the place on the road to smoke one. Its near the pali hills market so the access road is quite packed for most of the times

Review β„–97

Walk in for a casual drink with a friend. Always overcrowded, the staff still manages to find you a place, may it be sharing and awkward glances at people sitting infront of you. Pricing is on the lower side being the casual bar, but hygienic and great for the young college-goer or the low budget diner looking for a drink.
