Nice place for a quick bite if you are at the NCPA. The outdoor seating is windy, better than indoors. A pleasant experience, overall. They have an Indian menu as well. Many years ago they had a restaurant named Rangoli at the same place which was very popular, wonder why it was shut down.

Best time to visit is in the evening especially during the winters.. cool breeze blowing just adds to the experience of sitting in the garden and having dinner/supper. The place is well maintained and is clean. Variety is there in the menu and the prices are reasonable. However 10% service charge is a little too much considering the service is average only. Also the lighting and the chairs can be better.Must have-pri pri friesOverall 3.5 stars.

Surrounded with beautiful trees and a sea side view, this place has one of the amazing setup in the town. They have friendly staffs, the service could be improved though. Chilly Cheese Kulcha in the starters is a must have. Enjoyed every bit of it. Perfect for every occasion, this is a must visit.

A wonderfully laid setup with one of the most amazing views in the town. The cafe offers you a range of cusines to select from, they also serve amazing parsi dhansak. For starters chilly cheese kulcha is a must have. A date with this place on a cool december afternoon blew my breathe away. Really enjoyed every bit of the affair.

A brilliant location right at the tip of Mumbai and a prominent location as Marine Drive.. This place has some of the best Theatre and Performances available and within they have setup this lovely café..Its open air and although small has a brilliant vibe to it.Ive mostly been here for lunch and mainly for the Burmese Khao Suey.. Although it seemed like the quantity has reduced drastically while the prices have increased atleast of this dish.. The taste however was still awesome and Ill definitely come back!!

Beautiful ambience and location. The staff are courteous and helpful. One has an endless choice of food. The variety is really impressive. Quality and taste of the dishes we ordered were excellent. A bit pricey but worth it anyway.

Located in the heart of South Mumbai, NCPA Cafe offers you one of the best ambiences. Situated by the sea, the wind brings in immense freshness and perfect outdoor experience.Spend an evening there just got the sea. The food was ordinary, in fact fairly underwhelming. Their pesto pasta was far too creamy which overpowered the flavor and freshness of basil, the key ingredient. There werent enough veggies in the pasta making it feel like youre eating boiled pasta with heavy cream. Drinks were nothing special. It was overrated on terms for food but I would definitely go back just to enjoy a windy, pleasant evening.

An excellent place to visit all through the year. Lot of repeat value since they keep on doing a lot of seasonal stuff. The fixed menu has taken a hit since Amadeus downed its shutters. The quality of the food and service is excellent. Seating area is nice but dimly lit.

Wonderful ambience, open, very spacious and enjoyable. Food options are not very wide. You can enjoy sitting for long hours. Avoid going in summer, in the open section.

Cafe at NCPA has limited options but very quick service and great taste... Masala dosa was nice and served late at night... Its so helpful just after the play because you dont need to take the parked vehicle out searching for food joints at late hours. We had a light dinner after Agatha Christies play at Cafe and straight away went home. Thanks to the Cafe staff and NCPA Management courtesy for cafes inside the premises.

A sun kissed place, very natural feel plus good company is all that you want. Cafe at the NCPA somehow is where i would like to go on any day time. The open cafe share a very different feel and also knowing that it aint that crowded by not been known to many is an extra star. The cafe serves you some really nice dishes. And some good north Indian food too. At times i feel its a little pricey on the quantity they serve. Also i like to sip in some hot mocha and enjoy. The service is good. Staff is courteous and humble. Overall definitely I would love this place to still be under cover HAHA . A little selfish but thats OK. You can surely enjoy with your friends and munch a lot here.

Great ambience- natural lighting, green cover and plenty of space between tables. Valet parking available. A perfect place to meet someone for casual conversation.

Super food. Khow suey, pizza, dim sums, salads, Chhole Kulcha, etc maintained the taste and flavour over the years. Cannot miss the experience of sitting in open on breezy atmosphere of Being adjacent to the sea at Nariman Point. The same complex has various auditoriums like NCPA Tata, Bhabha, Experimental, etc.

Exotic food in an interesting place like Marine Drive. Dishes are spicy and tasty.A bit expensive. If you order mineral water, you will have to pay Rupees 260 Plus GST per one litre. So be careful in drinking bottled water.

It’s truly a hidden gem.Most of the people are not aware about this restaurant.But it has one of the most amazing interior.Located inside NCPA, the restaurant’s atmosphere is mesmerising.It also serves Parsi food.Khow suey is something you must try here.

Cafe by the bay. It has a nice ambience, a nice crowd with some foreign tourists also hovering around but the dishes are expensive approx. Rs. 500/- per dish. The waiters are courteous and ready to help but the bill includes a hefty service charge. I like the Asian Vegetarian Noodles though a bit spicy for my pallette but much of what all I had ordered was good in vegetarian. They do have a balanced menu of vegetarian and non- vegetarian dishes and comfortable seating though. Seats closer to the sea are more occupied though they do have indoor AC seatings as well. Nice place to hangout on special occassions.

Review №42

Limited seating esp. during noon when you wouldnt like to sit under the hot sun as there is no covered area.However, service was quick and food (we had Tuna sandwich and Omlet kathi roll, mint tea and coffee) was fresh and well done.Good value for money as there is nothing else of this type nearby if you are going for a show at the NCPA.

Review №85

More of an open air setup, natural lighting, a bit of green cover, false grass carpet (almost natural looking), located in a nook of ncpa, the sea is barely seen from the seating area (sea can be seen from the entrance area). Cafe is not easily visible even when one enters the compound, good if you want some alone time. Dishes are served in style, there are some really pretty plate servings that I have seen. But for the cost I am not impressed with the quantity. When I am made to shell out over Rs700 (price b4 applying gst) for a Thai soup (Khao suey) whose quantity is a little less than or equal to that of the average soup one gets outside .... Or Rs 660 for a Korean barbecue chicken which were 6 itty-bitty pieces that could have easily fit on a single satay 15cm wooden scewer ...... I surely felt the pinch. Mind you, the dishes tasted good, the place is good to sit and relax for a long time but its not a place to go if you are truly famished. That being said... If anyone does want to go here I will suggest ordering something like the chicken gyro roll or burgers as they are substantial (for one person mostly).... Maybe share that if one has company and then try other dishes if one wishes. Staff are friendly and service is good.

Cafe would not be the right word for it as we get majority of all types of cuisine here..This place is an open air place built right next to the ncpa auditorium.. Simple decor with lots of greenery which really makes this place serene..Its so strategically built that even though being an open air place, the place is really cool during afternoons..The food is really good so are its drinks.The service is also quiet nice with waiters very well aware of the things on in their menu and quiet supportive to help you place your order..Personally we found this place overpriced as zomatio said 1200 for 2; However on ab average we paid 1.3k per person..Apart from this, its a very good place to be at.
