Commercial Drive (The Drive)
More infoBombay Kitchen + Bar is the Commercial Drive spot that genuinely earned its rank among the city's highest-rated Indian rooms, which at 4.4 across two thousand reviews takes some doing. The bar builds cocktails around Indian spice rather than ignoring the connection, the kitchen runs from street-food snacks to deep layered curries. Order broadly, start with a cocktail, and let The Drive handle the evening.
Treat it like a graze-and-sip night: start with street-food snacks (the chaat-style starters are what first-timers under-order), move into one rich curry to share, and let the bartender pour you a spice-forward cocktail rather than defaulting to wine. Ask for a table away from the door if you want it quieter, since the room gets buzzy. Don't miss the breads to mop up sauce; budget around an hour and three-quarters, and Commercial Drive is right outside for a post-dinner stroll.
