B. Merwan & Co.

B. Merwan is truly a gem — one of the best Irani cafés in Mumbai! Their cakes are always fresh and piping hot, especially the iconic mawa cake — simply unbeatable. Other must-tries include bun maska, brun maska, omelette pav, and cheese omelette pav. The only small feedback: the cheese used in the omelette comes in small pieces instead of being shredded — a minor thing, but worth noting. As usual, it’s a cash-only place, though some locations now accept UPI. That said, it’s widely known that traditional Irani cafés usually prefer cash. Overall, the food quality is top-notch, and the old-school charm makes it a must-visit in Mumbai!

Spoiled its legacy in post covid. The prepaid coupon way of ordering is so not helpful at least for us customers. Taste wise they've lost the charm. Nothing feels fresh and the experience of having a meal in those retro wooden chairs is absolutely trash.

Was very excited to try their mawa cakes since long as it was always on my to do list. The last time I went there around 10am and they told me it was sold out so this trip I was there at 8am to buy my goodies. Bought mawa cakes, bread pudding and the brun pao to have with chai. Sorry to say but utterly disappointed with the mawa cakes as well as the pudding. The mawa cakes were dry with absolutely no taste of mawa. The bread pudding too was stale as tho it was yesterday's production. Dry and no taste at all. Only saving grace was the brun pao which I had with maska.

When i reached there at evening, Mava cake was not there. Bunk muska was superb Akori pav was okay. Self service restaurant and cash only. Owner is a friendly person.

Yes since 1913 personally I have been tasting the cakes for 40 yrs now. Brilliant mawa cakes and major people are still fan of it. I am one of them. The cake leaves an after taste . I remember in Covid standing in the queue for same. Unbelievable yes it was it is. The quality of the cake and khari biscuit are still same. The feel of the place is like a Bollywood movie place. The bun Maska pav the omelette pav the Kadak pav are delicacies unforgettable. If you are a Parsi food fan this place cannot be missed

My all time favorite mawa cake - tried many others but this is the real deal! Anytime I’m in town, I have to stop to get some.

A rather busy coffee tea shop selling breads and pastries. The order was swift, although the queue was long, but it moved fast. Tables are full, and sharing one with another patrons is acceptable here. I had tea and a cake (i was told that it is a must try) Payment at the counter first before you make your way to collect the food and drink. Tastes are just fine, but the atmosphere in this old establishment is good and nostalgic.

B. Merwan & Co., just outside Grant Road station, is a 103-year-old family-run bakery known for its delicious food. The staff is friendly, and the prices are incredibly affordable—I spent just Rs. 120 for Akuri, bread, and a cup of coffee, which is only £1.20! They’re also famous for their Bun Maska and Mawa Cake. It doesn’t get better than that! I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the neighborhood.
