The glitterati in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) are snapping up tables at the bar at Shiro, a lounge that opened last year in the Worli district. With its lofty proportions and minimalist decor, including three massive statues of Balinese consorts, this Far East–inspired hot spot invites comparisons with the Buddha Bars of Paris and New York, but a dash of Indian elegance is delivered via a shimmering lotus pond, chenille and organza lounging beds and eclectic finds from Mumbai's antiques bazaar. Bollywood stars are often seen snacking on Pan-Asian bites (try the dim sum or beef bulgogi) and sipping lychee- and jasmine-infused cocktails. In this chaotic, bustling city by the sea, nightlife is finally taking a step outside its luxury hotels. Bombay Dyeing Mill Compound, Pandurang Budhkar Marg.; 011-91-22-2438-3008.
