Our Philosophy

Hospitality is the main ingredient.

Technique can be taught; warmth cannot. Cafe Excelsior is built around the simple idea that people should feel looked after the moment they walk in.

Dishes arrive when you are ready for them, and we remember what you loved the last time.

The Chef’s Story

For the team at Cafe Excelsior, cooking is a craft learned slowly. They source close to Mumbai wherever they can, build menus around what is good this week, and leave room for the unexpected.
