The document discusses some key differences between restaurants in Hong Kong compared to other parts of the world. In Hong Kong, it is common for entire commercial buildings consisting of 10 or more floors to be filled exclusively with restaurants. This is unlike other places where typically only the ground floor is used for restaurants. The document suggests that as land space becomes more limited in Mumbai, it may start to emulate this aspect of Hong Kong's model, with restaurants occupying higher floors of commercial buildings more frequently than seen elsewhere globally.

2. Mumbaikars, have you ever been to Hong Kong?

3. • HAVE YOU EVER MET A FRIEND AT A
RESTAURANT IN HONG KONG?
Well…. It can be
confusing for first-
timers from almost
anywhere else in the
world.

4. • Your friend will tell you to meet at xyz restaurant whether it’s in kowloon or central or lkf or
midlevels or wherever and you will get to the location and you will likely reach a commercial
building that could be ten stories high to twenty-five plus stories high.
• You’ll likely look around
and say this can’t be the
place. You may pop your
head in and tell yourself
‘nah, no way this the right
building’

5. • You’ll then likely go down the street in
both directions to find the restaurants
as you know it has to be on this street,
then you’ll realize that the commercial
building you were at most certainly is
the right address. You’ll go into the
building and you’ll see that not only the
restaurant you are searching for is
there, the entire building is filled with
restaurants.

6. • ALL TEN FLOORS WILL ONLY BE RESTAURANTS AND THE ONLY FLOOR WITH
NO RESTAURANT WILL BE THE GROUND FLOOR! IT’S THE COMPLETE
OPPOSITE IN MUCH OF THE REST OF WORLD WITH THE GROUND FLOOR
BEING THE ONLY PLACE FOR A RESTAURANT.

7. IN OUR VIEW, SOON MUMBAI WILL BE MORE LIKELY HONG KONG
THAN MUCH OF THE REST OF THE WORLD IN THAT HAVING
RESTAURANTS IN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS ON HIGHER FLOORS
WILL BECOME MORE AND MORE NORMAL. AND IN
FACT, RESTAURANTS FOR RENT IN MUMBAI HAVE ALREADY
STARTED CREEPING UP TO HIGHER FLOORS.

8. Given that Mumbai's land mass is much larger than hong
kong’s we wouldn’t expect to see as drastic as a shift in terms
of restaurants taking over entire commercial buildings like
that in Hong Kong; however, going forward when looking for a
restaurant in Mumbai, don’t forget to look up as you may miss
out on some excellent cuisine at higher levels!
