Jimmy Boy - Review - Fort - Mumbai - The Infatuation

"Looking for a Parsi wedding feast without the actual wedding? All roads lead to Jimmy Boy in Fort. The sunlit cafe is full of paintings of Parsi prophets looking down on a crystal chandelier and bentwood chairs, while a cooler near the cashier glows with neon pastries and Pallonji’s sodas. It’s a quirky, charming spot, but the point of a trip to Jimmy Boy is always the ₹1,150 (or ₹850 vegetarian) lagan nu bhonu. The heaving feast is a parade of three main courses: either the sweet-sour saas ni machhi or patra ni machhi, tangy salli marghi or lacy farcha, and the pulao with dhansak dal, including free rotli, achaar, wafers, and dessert—and, yes, you’ll want to grow an extra stomach for all of it. The a la carte menu is expansive, so here's the move: skip the more generic North Indian dishes, focus on the bhonu plates for a lighter meal, and grab a window seat for fantastic people watching." - Roshni Bajaj Sanghvi
