Mumbai, India
Beach area known for street food. Safe during day and early evening with families around, empty after 9 PM. More about beach and eating than nightlife.
Juhu is the beach neighborhood where some Bollywood people live and families go on weekends. The beach is known for street food - pav bhaji, bhel puri, vada pav from stalls along the sand. It stays busy until around 9 PM with families and groups, which makes it feel safer early evening. After 9 PM most people leave, so head back or go to the restaurant area. There are upscale hotels including Soho House with Cecconi's for sea views. Ram Ashraya does South Indian food. English speakers at the hotels and restaurants. Watch your bag during the day when it's crowded - pickpocketing happens. They clean the beach late at night. This is about the beach and food, not nightlife. Locals come here to relax, not party.
