"Over the past decade, the Bombay Canteen has been one of the most influential modern Indian restaurants in the country. The restaurant team visits remote parts of India for culinary research, incorporates modern techniques, and creates seasonal menus that concentrate on reimagined regional Indian specialities. While the restaurant is currently run by chef Hussain Shahzad (an alum of Eleven Madison Park), it has seen leadership from Thomas Zacharias and the late Floyd Cardoz, who both strongly shaped the culinary philosophy of the place. Enjoy classics like the eggs Kejriwal (a spicy fried egg dish born out of the Willingdon Sports Club), prawns ali-yolio, and seasonal specialities like sev puri topped with raw sea bass or pork belly thukpa. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends." - Sumedh Natu
