Laxmi Vilas Restaurant in Mumbai India…our favorite spot in the city.

The “Colaba area” of Mumbai India has been described as “London on acid.” There are beautiful old palaces and monuments built by the british mixed with the overall craziness of taxis, people and Indian streetlife in general. Lindsay and I stayed right in the middle of this fascinating area. We are the type of people who generally stick with something that we like and we found our favoirt little spot to eat in Mumbai called Laxmi Vilas. This cute little resteraunt is tucked away on a side street right near “India Gate” in the heart of Colaba. The restaurant has a downstairs for locals (no AC) and a very small upstairs (surrounded in class) that ran AC for the westerners. :) Numerous times we would end up at this little restaurant and the owner/staff would great us with a smile and simply point upstairs (where the AC was). Everytime we went we had a friendly waiter that would bring us water, Coke in a bottle and some of the best Indian food we have ever had. Lindsay is always much more daring with food but I found something I liked and stuck with it everytime! To beat the heat and craziness of Mumbai we loved Laxmi Vilas.
