Vishwa Samrat, Mulund

Vishwa Samrat
Mulund, Mumbai
Indian / Chinese Cuisine
Good Indian food


Vishwa Samrat brings back a host of memories. At a time, when there were no malls, coffee shops, pizza delivery options, when eating out options were limited (Gosh I feel ancient), Vishwa Samrat would always be the most frequented place for a birthday, anniversary or just good marks in your exams.

Recently, I visited Vishwa samrat after like ages, And wow, nothing has changed. The same family setting, the same staff and the food as always really good. I was surprised to see that on weekends, the place was full, and we had to wait!

The ambiance is of a typical family restaurant, with beautiful paintings on the walls, bright yellow lighting and classical music playing in the background. You can either see families enjoying themselves or business associates discussing some deal over a drink. It would cost about 1000 for a meal for two (Includes starters and main course but without alcohol), the portions are quite good.


My fav at Vishwa samrat is their veg chilli milli with fried rice and have never been disappointed. The food is always served very hot and the service is great. You must try if you ever in Mulund and want some good Indian food.


P.S - Its near the market road, but they have valet parking :)

Pop Tates

Pop Tates
Where - R Mall, Mulund West, Mumbai
Cuisine - Italian / Drinking Place
Rupaiya - Rs 500/- (Per person without alcohol)
Suggestions - Great place to chill / drink / watch a match

So i should definitely get a loyalty card for this place too ;) There was a time, when I used to frequent pop tates almost every week. And every time i have been there, weekend or weekday, noon or evening - it always full of people.

The alcohol is very decently priced. About 180 for a LiiT and 140 for a regular cocktail. Happy hours is from 2 something pm to 7pm, its applicable on beer and not on regular cocktails.

Ambiance - Perfect for a place like this - Movie/ artist blown up images adorn the walls, a bit dingy, great music and always playing some match.

Service - never had a complaint - have always been cooperative every time i have had a problem with a drink/ food.

okay so now lets go order.

Good alcohol - its a bit easy on the pocket, so one does have the liberty to order in quantities. At times, you might have to just ask them to spike your drink. The Happy hours for beer is quite a steal tho. I like their classic margarita (not the flavoured ones) and their long island iced tea!

starters (veg) - jalapeno bangers a must, not sure if they are still available. nachos are okay, dont like the ones with baked beans, makes the nachos soggy.

Main course - try their pizzas/ sizzlers are also decent. It comes in good quantities, so watch what you order. Would not recommend having a dessert there.

Overall a great drinking place, its perfect to meet a bunch of friends, spend a couple of hours, get a bit buzzed. A tip - start the evening at pop tates, get your alcohol and once done, head to urban tadka for a good punjabi meal.
