You probably won’t find a mention of a Hard Rock Café in any of our other guides, so why have we included it here you ask? Well, the branch in Mumbai is different. In most other Hard Rock Café’s tourists make up a very high percentage of the clientele, but that’s not the case here – visitors are totally out-numbered by locals, so the experience here feels a lot more authentic, and somehow less cheesy.

There’s no denying that Mumbikars love the place, since it opened it’s been packed most nights with queues and eager patrons, the owners admit they’ve been pleasantly surprised. So, as we like to promote mixing with the locals in our guides, we suggest if you only ever go to one Hard Rock Café – and this one’s décor, drinks and service-wise is the same as all others – come to this one, go with the flow, and enjoy the ear-splitting music along with everyone else.
