    A sweet shop and vegetarian Indian lunch counter on Hillcroft, Bombay Sweets keeps more than a hundred varieties of mithai behind the glass. Jalebi, barfi, gulab jamun soaked in rosy syrup, the kind of selection that turns a quick stop into a longer conversation with whoever's working the counter. Grab a box to go or eat in; either way, the sweets are the reason.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
