sea lounge - the taj mahal palace

the legendarycoffeeshop with a fabulous view of the arabian sea.
if you are looking for a relaxing cuppacoffeewith great snacks if perfect luxury this is where you have to be..
tried their makaibari tea which was served with amazing coconut and almond chip cookies.
also their veg mesclun salad tasted really good...the dressing was refreshing and totally worth it.
as all lux places a lil heavy on pocket but as its one of the most soothing places you will be in u gotta pay up.
p.s. go for the high tea buffet totally worth the price.

visited here on tuesday evening for high tea buffet...i suppose this is one of the rarest places famous for high tea buffet...

it has good ambience and staff is courteous... buffet spread is ok...food quality is also ok..visit this place for evening view...suited for family n friends..it usually full with tourists...

u will surely njoy eveningcoffee/ tea at sea lounge...

ordered jamaican blue mountain coffee. got the table near the window. its really amazing place to be. the lounge is very spacious and tables are at proper distance. thecoffeewas at perfect temperature, and they gave some biscuits with it. the ambience is calm and serene. there are no loud people talking, you can just relax and enjoy thecoffeewith an amazing view of the sea.

when one thinks of taj mahal palace, we think of it as one of the finest hotel in india. does it really live up to its name? let's find out. the sea lounge is located at a beautiful place. the lounge boasts a stunning view of the gateway of india and the arabian sea. the settings inside the lounge is itself very luxurious. the staff via their service showcase the age old indian tradition of 'atithi devo bhavaha' which means guest is god. now let's come to the coffee. i visited the lounge at tea time. i had the jamaican blue hill coffee. thecoffeecame in a french press and was served with milk, sugar and some tasty sesame seed cookies. on the other hand the coldcoffeewho someone had ordered on my table had a lot of scope for better plating. the coldcoffeewasn't​ up to 5star standard. even the hot chocolate wasn't feeling right but it was play. thecoffeewas the one thing that really stood out as it was probably the bestcoffeei've ever head. it had a really lovely aroma, a beautiful dark brown shade and had an amazing slightly sweet flavour. now let's come to value for money. the coffee, absolutely, the cold coffee, no and the hot chocolate was slightly over priced for the quality. but overall i feel that taj mahal palace is one of the finest hotels in india and that visiting the sea lounge will be a cherished experience and i would love to visit again.

spent the day showing a visitor places around colaba. he wanted to see the taj and i thought what the heck..despite of staying in mumbai for so long i myself haven't been inside even once! so we decided to go for an afternoon tea. 

this place speaks opulence and has colonial charm thanks to its rich history. when i visited, high tea was in progress and the ambience was exactly as you would find in any top end restaurant in london during high tea hours. i was in love with the pastel walls, rich upholstery, soothing music and the breathtaking arabian sea view. sea lounge has a huge collection of teas and coffees around the world. the service is quick and the staff is polite. thecoffeeand milks hakes we ordered were delicious and worth every dime we spent. i will soon visit for high tea and looking forward to adding that experience in this review! i am sure it will be worth additional half point rating :)

no morningcoffeeserved anywhere can beat the view that you get while sipping one at the sea lounge early morning.

the aroma of freshly baked breads, pies andcoffeefills the room. the staff is really helpful and they ensure you get what you like. the array of choices available makes you smile, there is something for everyone.

visited this place with a friend . it has a lovely ambience and surrounding . perfect sea side view , ideal to visit during monsoons or early evening time .
however , food was unreasonably expensive for the dish and the quantity served . not worth spending on food , but it is a perfect place for acoffeeor a small starter just to enjoy the vibes and ambience and perfect music !

spectacular views and excellent spot for high tea or simply to enjoy the epitome of luxury that taj offers while enjoying a scrumptious snack with tea orcoffeein the evening, watching the sunset with the gateway of india in the view.

i visited this place on 1st jan. i asked the staff for seat for 3, but directly she said u are here for tea andcoffeeso u can visit our other restaurant “ shamiana”.
do i need to look rich to visit this restaurant whether i can afford it or not. the lady was so rude, i m never ever going to visit this place again. you are discriminating, who are you to decide whether i ll only eat or can have tea or coffee, but that much only o can afford???
