The Bombay Canteen

The Bombay Canteen - Review - Lower Parel - Mumbai - The Infatuation

"Anyone who comes to this always busy Lower Parel spot in a central Mumbai office complex falls unfailingly in love with it. Blame it on their playful riffs on traditional Indian dishes that amp up familiar flavors and textures. Flying off the pass are the cheese bombs known as the Eggs Kejriwal, pork birria tacos in jowar bhakris with Kolhapuri pandhara rassa for dipping, and brothy chicken jhol momos. The dining room, which evokes a Mumbai bungalow with marble mosaic tables and Art Deco flourishes, guarantees a grand time. Adding to the fun are cheeky cocktails, like a bright mini gin martini with housemade chili marmalade. And thanks to the friendliest bartenders in town, dining solo at the bar is never a bad idea. First-timers should try the eight-course Canteen Experience (₹3,754, or ₹3,292 for vegetarian) that takes you through the menu’s best, while regulars should go for the always worthwhile latest additions." - Roshni Bajaj Sanghvi
