Hanging Gardens and Kamala Nehru park. Opposite each other. One looks over Marine Drive.

You can walk up there from Girgaum Chowpatty or take the bus/taxi.

Used to be a nice outdoor cafe there; wonder if it is still on.

Ooh, I love Malabar Hill! At least 3 parks there, -- in addition to what capt_m said, there's also Priyadarshini Park on Napean Sea Rd by Vikram Sarabhai Bridge. From a view perspective, I think Capt is right - the best view should be from Hanging Gardens & Kamala Nehru (very close to each other). Between the two, you should get a lovely view of Back Bay, Girgaum Chowpatti beach also Nariman Point at the end of Marine Drive.

Sadly Naaz Cafe has closed down ages ago!!! Only view of the sea and Chowpatty beach you get is from the park now.

Cheers,
Aadil.
