Diwali 2025 In Mumbai: A Guide To The City’s Most Festive Dining Experiences

Every year, Diwali gives Mumbai a reason to gather, eat well, and spend time with people who matter. The festival naturally finds its way into the city’s restaurants, where chefs use the occasion to revisit traditional flavours and create special menus that feel both celebratory and familiar. Across Mumbai, hotels, cafés, and bakeries are preparing spreads that reflect how people want to eat during the season, comforting, festive, and a little indulgent.

This year, the dining scene includes everything from grand brunches at luxury hotels to casual festive evenings at open-air venues. There are also thoughtful dessert menus and gifting collections that bring a personal touch to celebrations. Each place offers a slightly different expression of the festival, but all share the same idea, good food, shared tables, and a feeling of togetherness that defines Diwali in Mumbai.

At Lotus Café, guests can enjoy a spread of regional festive dishes from 15th to 25th October, featuring sweets like Mysore Pak and Puran Poli, alongside regional snacks and curries. Saffron hosts a regal tasting menu curated by Chef Asif Qureshi, celebrating Awadhi classics such as Gosht Ki Nihari and Khubani Ki Phirni. Mezzo Mezzo, meanwhile, offers a European-inspired meal ideal for evening gatherings or brunches with family.
