Mumbai, 14th July 2025: Khar has a way of doing cafés differently. It’s not just about what’s on the plate- it’s the soft lighting, the laid-back energy, and spaces that make you want to linger a little longer. Whether you’re catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just taking a breather from the city’s pace, these four cafés strike that perfect balance between comfort and charm. Think good food, cozy corners, and just the right kind of mood.
1:- Cafe Out of the Blue
Cafe Out Of The Blue is one of Khar’s timeless spots for laid-back evenings and soulful plates.

This monsoon, it’s dialling up the flavour with its much-loved Chaat Festival, on till August 31st. Think Aloo Tikki Chaat Sizzlers, Caesar Salad Dosa Crepes, Litti Chokha Chaat, and a surprisingly indulgent Lotus Root & Burrata pairing.
