;
Bombay Dyeing Mills Compound, Worli; 7.30pm-1.30am)
At Shiro, water
pours from the hands of towering Japanese faux-stone goddesses into lotus ponds, which
reflect shimmering light on the walls. It's totally over the top, but the drinks (as well as
the Asian-fusion dishes) are excellent and the DJs spin some mean house (Saturdays) and
retro (Fridays).

Toto's Garage
( 26005494; 30th Rd, Bandra West; 6pm-1am)
Forget the beautiful people. Toto's is a down-to-
earth local dive done up in a mechanic's theme where you can go in your dirty clothes,
drink pitchers of beer and listen to AC/DC. Get there early or you won't get a seat.
BAR

This reminiscent-of-home pub is a good bet
for wines by the glass (?350 to ?500). The Italian-Indian menu is best enjoyed on the
