Essential Tips for NYE 2025/26
- The 5 AM Rule: Most restaurants listed here will serve dinner until midnight, but their associated bars and lounges are permitted to serve until 5:00 AM.
- Reservations: At places like Trèsind and Ziya, tables are often booked out 48–72 hours in advance. Use platforms like District or call the hotels directly to secure “Early Bird” pricing.
- Transport: Expect heavy traffic around BKC and Juhu. If you are dining at The Oberoi or JW Marriott, consider booking a staycation package to avoid the post-midnight commute.
