Bombay Daak - Review - Bandra West - Mumbai - The Infatuation

"In India, each state and region has its own local drinking culture and accompanying snacks. Bombay Daak, from the Ekaa team, attempts to celebrate them all. This music-and chatter-filled, dive bar-inspired Bandra West restaurant brings in the flavors of daaru-chakna (booze and munchies) from Coorg to Kashmir, Nagaland to Jaipur, Bihar to Goa—you get the drift. Turn on auto-Shazam to borrow the bouncy playlist before taking your free shot of bird-eye chilli wine. We follow ours with a Santra Season that’s infused with pickles and chutneys, and then dig into the artful, soul-curing sharing plates. Our standard order: The Hot Gram with three types of pulses, peanuts and pineapple, Bhuna tongue roast with brown onion emulsion and fresh dill, delightfully cartilaginous chicken and rasam, housemade Luncheon Meat in a retro spam tin, and the Tamil-inspired pairing of condensed milk and crustaceans in the Milkmaid Prawns." - Roshni Bajaj Sanghvi
