Insider Tips
- The Sunday brunch is widely regarded as South Mumbai's best and is usually jam-packed with local celebrities
- Try the sushi. Given the surroundings it should be no better than so-so. But it is outstanding and easily the equal of the sushi served at the city's top Japanese restaurant
- Fenix is partly open to the hotel lobby, which gives it a relaxed informal feel. If you want a coffee (or just to people-watch) take one of the tables near the lobby. Otherwise, the section at the rear is much more restaurant-like
