Otra Mumbai

Otra sits on Mumbai Samachar Marg within the Kala Ghoda district. The dining room shares the ground floor of the Mubarak Manzil building, set amidst the historic architecture of Fort.

Many restaurants in this district lean heavily on the nostalgia of the old trading houses, but Otra ignores the local penchant for colonial revival in favor of a modern, fusion approach to Indian ingredients. While the street outside features traditional stone facades and heavy traffic, the room feels pointedly detached from the bustle of the neighborhood. It is dressier than the casual cafes nearby, making it the better choice for those who prefer their dinner in a room that prioritizes polish over the city’s usual frenetic charm.
