Fodor's Expert Review Aurus

Juhu's most trendy nightspot for a long time running is also one of its better fine-dining restaurants. Definitively loungey, it feels less forced and more elegant than most lounge bars in Mumbai, and the outdoor area, overhanging a nice stretch of Juhu Beach, has low white couches and sparkling candlelight. Inside, it's a bit too dim, but later on the dance floor fills up with some of Bollywood's most beautiful people, so stick around after your meal. The continental food has local influences, and runs the gamut from traditional pastas to molecular gastronomy. The signature dish—duck prepared by the sous vide method—is succulent, but the grilled New Zealand lamb shank is better.
