Four couples, a shared WhatsApp thread that started planning three weeks out, and a long weekend built entirely around Bandra dinners, Colaba mornings and whichever rooftop was still going at 2am.

One coffee sit-down with a Mumbai hospitality group kept it technically a work trip.

---

DAY 1 — THU

Landing in Bandra

Thu–Mon · 4 nights

Check into Taj Lands End, Bandra — sea-facing rooms, walkable to everything that matters this weekend.

Dinner at Pali Village Cafe, then drinks at Ellchi to shake off the flight.

---

DAY 2 — FRI

Colaba Morning

Quiet coffee, then head to Colaba.

Morning coffee meeting with a Mumbai hospitality group scouting gaming-floor consulting — the one Amaan Advisors reason this trip is deductible.

By noon: Gateway of India, Colaba Causeway for shopping, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.

Dinner at Trishna for the butter-pepper-garlic crab, then straight into AntiSOCIAL Bandra for the late set.

---

DAY 3 — SAT

Marine Drive to Midnight

Brunch at The Bombay Canteen, then a Marine Drive walk and Haji Ali Dargah at low tide.

Sunset drinks on the rooftop at Aer, Four Seasons — book ahead; the whole group won't fit without a table held.

Dinner at Bastian, followed by nightlife at Kitty Su to close the night out properly.

---

DAY 4 — SUN

Slow Morning, Big Finish

Pool morning, then a boat out to Elephanta Caves for the group that's still standing.

Farewell dinner, all eight of us together, at Ziya.

Last drinks at Soho House Mumbai.
