Gostana

This is a quaint little cafe tucked away in the folds of Bandra. Not only are they pet-friendly, they are also famous for their burgers.

Cat Cafe Studio, Mumbai

What sets this cafe apart from the other pet-friendly eateries is that it is only for cats, as the name goes. The bad news is that you cannot take your own cats along to this place. The good news is that it is filled with a lot of cats of all shapes and sizes, waiting to be adopted. Even for those cat lovers who cannot take a cat to their homes, you can sit here for hours playing with the studio's cats. They have great coffee and evening snacks you can eat too, while a cat nuzzles your feet below the table.

And in case you have somewhere else to be, you can just leave your pet here and they will be well taken care of.
