Hotel & Restaurants in Ghatkopar

Beginning to get slower as the summer has begun, the winter is gone and summers can be real problem here in India , specially with the mushrooming of buildings all around Ghatkopar and Garodia Nagar , it makes this place look like a jungle of Concrete.

But some good news went on the terrace for a walk and saw a beautiful site, the entire road stretch was covered with tall green tress and the branches spreading all over the road, making it look like a dense forest/jungle somewhat like Amazonian.

Well so to continue the Hotel stuff,

Hotel Bharat Cafe

Opposite the railway station on west is also an old but most famous and frequented places for travellers for a quick hot Tea/coffee snakcs and meals. This was a run down building and the hotel was small albeit the area now occupied by the Cake & confectionary shop was a family room where there used to be 3/ 4 tables. The paint on the walls was not so great and wherenever I used tyo go with my family back in the 70s and 80s it was somewhat small for all to sit.

This hotel had a great samosa and idli/dosa chutney that we used to love. The meals was also good after a movie at the Odeon or Shreyas theater. Time and money has made a lot of difference to this place its huge with seating capscity on the graound floor more than 150/200 the first floor for Airconditoned comfort and family area. The cake shop, the outside where used to be a small area for seating is removed for road wideing work.

The place is bustling with people all through the day & night, good food and value for money.

Hotel Sandeep:

The hotel run by the other brother of Bharat cafe is a bar and restaurant. one of the only place after hotel Meghadoot that was serving liqour back in the 80s. Nice place to spend an evening for drinks and family meals speacially for non-vegetarain food.

The terrace area is mostly used for birthday and other functions and mostly the Mangalorean families organise their functions here. I have had attented to many of my freinds here.

Hotel Vishwakarma:

This again is a hotel run by a Shetty family. Presently run by a good friend whom i met through a common friend. Nitin has been taking keen interest of running this hotel and has done fantastically well for the business. Presently the road to this place is a real mess with the Metro rail project work being carried out and pillars all but have taken the entire road, the area is like a mega construction project. There is hardly a place to walk by this road. So one has to be careful entering into this stretch.

Nice hotel with great food and lots of cold beer to have, it was an evening place for us professionals to have a cold beer and talk about days works and ideas.
