We, the Mumbai boys are introducing Mumbai Bites that will serve non-traditional Indian food from the streets of Mumbai to the streets of YYC. Mumbai has always been so close to our hearts and it always makes us feel nostalgic when we think about all the amazing street food we grew up eating back home in India.The idea of Mumbai Bites was discussed by 3 friends over a hot cup of cutting chai on a rainy day and eventually developed into a business we are today. We decided to take up this challenge of introducing some tantalizing flavors from the streets of Mumbai that will make everyone go Jhakaaas... (over the top feeling)

We went for a late lunch, it was our first visit. The food was very flavourful and very spicy, despite requesting a medium spicy level. Our server was friendly and attentive. We will try again, just request mild spice next time.

The food portions is very good for the price. Service was also very good. The igloo was kind of cold, so I would recommend going on a warmer day. But overall experience was great.
