Restaurants
The dining experience at an upscale restaurant in Mumbai is more or less the same as anywhere else in the world. If you search hard enough, you will find cuisine from practically every part of the world represented in the city. But to get a real flavour of what's unique to Mumbai, you will have to go a little lower down the scale, and experience its street food and Irani cafes. That is what is described here. For an overview of all kinds of restaurants please take a look at this website.
Things to do
There is a lot to see in Mumbai, temples, churches, mosques, museums, markets, shopping malls, zoos, galleries, but the typical "tourist" sights are concentrated in South Mumbai. For an overview of all the things to do in Mumbai take a look at this website.

Climate
Mumbai has three main seasons - Summer, Monsoon and Winter (milder summer). November-February, winter time, is the best time to visit. March-May is the summer with highs in the low to mid 30s. It is hot and humid during this time. June to September is the monsoon season when the city is lashed by heavy rain. The city gets flooded 2 or 3 times and normal life gets disrupted during this season. Climate is humid pretty much throughout the year because it is on the coast.

Currency
The currency in India is the Rupee, although you will find that major credit cards are accepted at most larger hotels and restaurants in major cities. Bank notes stay in circulation for a long time in India. If a bank note is particularly dirty, many shops will actually refuse to accept them, and on the whole, it's a good idea to do the same if they are offered to you. Tipping is not customary in India except in the most upmarket restaurants, and even then, it's a few rupees rather than a percentage of the bill. Use this currency converter to find out how much the rupee is worth in your currency.
