Best Restaurants Open Monday in Mumbai 2026

Why a Monday list matters in Mumbai

Unlike European fine dining, Mumbai's serious rooms do not take a weekday off. The hotel dining rooms at the Taj Mahal Palace in Colaba and the Oberoi at Nariman Point run lunch and dinner every day, and the modern-Indian and pan-Asian rooms keep pace. What changes on a Monday is the crowd, not the kitchen: the corporate lunch trade in Lower Parel and BKC is at full strength, while the weekend party energy has eased.

The order below leads with the hotel dining rooms that anchor a special-occasion Monday, then the modern-Indian and seafood kitchens that define the city's own cooking. India has no Michelin stars, so the names here are judged on their own terms. Hours are checked against each restaurant's published schedule. Every name links to its full review with the score and booking mechanics. For the rest of the week, start with the Mumbai dining guide.

The Monday list

Wasabi by Morimoto

Japanese · Colaba, Mumbai · ₹6,000–11,000 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:30–14:45 and 19:00–23:45

Masaharu Morimoto's Mumbai room sits high in the Taj Mahal Palace at Apollo Bunder in Colaba, looking out at the Gateway of India. The omakase, the black cod and the toro tartare are the order, and a meal is the most expensive on this list at ₹6,000 to ₹11,000 a head. Monday runs a lunch service to a quarter to three and dinner to a quarter to midnight. The harbour view and the formal sushi counter make it the Monday pick for a once-in-a-trip dinner or a high-stakes client.

Ziya

Modern Indian · Nariman Point, Mumbai · ₹4,500–8,000 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:30–15:00 and 19:00–23:30

Ziya is the modern-Indian room of The Oberoi at Nariman Point, overseen by Vineet Bhatia, the first Indian chef to win a Michelin star (for his London restaurant). The reinvented classics (a deconstructed butter chicken, a chocolate samosa) and the sea-facing room are the draw; a meal lands ₹4,500 to ₹8,000 a head. Monday is lunch and dinner with an evening seating to half-eleven. The Marine Drive view and the polished service make it the Monday choice for refined Indian cooking with a sea view.

Hakkasan Mumbai

Cantonese · Bandra, Mumbai · ₹4,000–7,500 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:00–16:00 and 19:00–01:00

Hakkasan brings its dark-lacquer Cantonese template to Krystal on Waterfield Road in Bandra West, a low-lit room with a long bar. The Peking duck, the dim sum and the crispy-duck salad are the order; a meal runs ₹4,000 to ₹7,500 a head. Monday runs lunch to four and dinner late, to one in the morning. The clubby room and the late hours make it the Monday pick for a group dinner that turns into a long night over cocktails.

Yauatcha

Dim sum · Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai · ₹3,500–6,500 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:00–01:00

Yauatcha runs out of Raheja Tower in the Bandra Kurla Complex, the city's corporate district, a teal-and-brass room famous for its patisserie counter. The dim sum, the venison puffs and the macarons are the order; a meal lands ₹3,500 to ₹6,500 a head. Monday is one long service, noon to one in the morning. The all-day hours and the BKC address make it the Monday choice for a business lunch that runs long or an easy, stylish dinner near the offices.

The Bombay Canteen

Modern Indian · Lower Parel, Mumbai · ₹2,500–5,000 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:00–01:30

The Bombay Canteen, in a colonial-style bungalow at Kamala Mills in Lower Parel, rewrote the rules for modern Indian cooking when it opened in 2015. The regional small plates (Goan sausage pao, a rotating thali) and the cocktail programme are the draw; a meal runs ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 a head, the best value on this list. Monday runs noon to half-one. The bright, busy room makes it the Monday pick for a group that wants the city's own cooking and a long, easy table.

Trishna

Coastal seafood · Fort, Mumbai · ₹2,500–5,000 per head

Monday hours: Monday, 12:00–15:30 and 18:30–24:00

Trishna has fed Fort and Kala Ghoda from a narrow room on Sai Baba Marg since 1965, the city's most famous seafood address. The butter-pepper-garlic crab and the koliwada prawns are the order, and a meal lands ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 a head. Monday runs lunch to half-three and dinner to midnight. The plain room and the legendary crab make it the Monday choice for the dish every visitor is told to eat, away from the hotel dining rooms.

How to book a Monday table in Mumbai

Monday is the easy night in Mumbai, but the marquee rooms still fill. Book Wasabi by Morimoto and Ziya a day or two ahead for a window table, especially for the harbour and Marine Drive views. Hakkasan, Yauatcha and The Bombay Canteen hold more last-minute room on a Monday, which makes any of them the safe choice for a same-day plan. Trishna takes bookings but is a tight, popular room, so reserve the dinner sitting. For a solo Monday, the sushi counter at Wasabi or the bar at Yauatcha are the easiest seats and a strong solo-dining move. Entertaining a client? Wasabi and Ziya are the rooms for it. Most take bookings through EazyDiner or the hotel concierge; for the wider city, see the Mumbai dining guide.

Frequently asked questions

Which fine-dining restaurants are open on Monday in Mumbai?

Six upscale Mumbai rooms keep a confirmed Monday service: Wasabi by Morimoto at the Taj, Ziya at the Oberoi, Hakkasan and Yauatcha in Bandra and BKC, The Bombay Canteen in Lower Parel, and Trishna in Fort. Unlike European fine dining, Mumbai's best rooms rarely take a weekday off, so Monday is an easy night to land a serious table.

Does Mumbai have Michelin-starred restaurants open on Monday?

No, because India is not covered by the Michelin Guide, so Mumbai has no Michelin stars at all. The city's top tier is set by the hotel dining rooms at the Taj and the Oberoi and by modern-Indian kitchens like The Bombay Canteen. Ziya is run by Vineet Bhatia, the first Indian chef to win a star abroad, and it keeps a full Monday service at the Oberoi.

Is Wasabi by Morimoto open on Monday?

Yes. Wasabi by Morimoto, high in the Taj Mahal Palace at Apollo Bunder in Colaba, serves lunch on Monday from 12:30 to 2:45 and dinner from 7 to 11:45, with a view of the Gateway of India. The omakase and black cod are the order, and a meal runs about ₹6,000 to ₹11,000 a head. Book a day or two ahead for a harbour-facing table.

Where can I get the famous Mumbai crab on a Monday?

Trishna in Fort serves its butter-pepper-garlic crab, the dish most visitors are sent to Mumbai to eat, on Monday from noon to 3:30 and again from 6:30 to midnight. A meal runs about ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 a head in a plain, popular room on Sai Baba Marg. It is a tight space, so reserve the dinner sitting rather than chancing a walk-in.

Do I need a reservation for Monday dinner in Mumbai?

It helps. Monday is quieter than the weekend, but Wasabi by Morimoto, Ziya and Trishna all fill their best tables, so book a day or two ahead. Hakkasan, Yauatcha and The Bombay Canteen hold more last-minute room on a Monday, but a reservation through EazyDiner or the hotel concierge is the safe move for any party larger than two.
