Britannia & Company

This is one of the oldest and most iconic legacy restaurants in South Bombay, so naturally we walked in with high expectations. While the place does carry an old-world charm that takes you back in time, unfortunately the overall experience did not live up to what we had hoped for. The ambience reflects a bygone era, which can be nostalgic, but the food itself was quite disappointing. Most of the dishes were bland and, more importantly, served cold. We tried their Berry Pulao, which is often projected as their hero or signature dish, but it was underwhelming in both taste and presentation. Being served cold made the experience even worse. Another major concern is how outdated their payment system is. In today’s world, where even the smallest vendors accept UPI or cards, being told to pay only in cash feels extremely inconvenient and frankly unacceptable. It genuinely feels like the restaurant is still operating in 1923, without adapting to basic modern expectations. I also happened to notice the kitchen area, which looked somewhat unhygienic. For a restaurant with such a long-standing reputation, this was quite concerning. If the team at Britannia happens to read this review, I sincerely hope they take it constructively. The restaurant has a rich legacy and loyal following, but addressing basic concerns like food quality, hygiene, serving temperature, and modern payment options would go a long way in preserving that legacy for future generations.

Britannia & Company, Mumbai, India. Established in 1923 serving Parsi food. Dishes are all originally Persian and have over the years fused with Indian recipes. Vintage decor where the focus is on the food. Rating ⭐️⭐️💫 2.5/5 Average PPP INR 1200

If you want to enjoy authentic Parsi cuisine served by 3 generations of Parsi family then you should never miss this place. They have staff who majorly are more tha 2 decades serving at this place. The food and service both absolutely awesome. We left the menu on them and they the perfect course, no leftovers. If in Mumbai, never ever miss opportunity to have meals particularly non veg. Its more than 100 years old and once inside you just end up in same era. Majority of things have not been changed.

The good is really good their service is also fast, but it is super super expensive. I wanted to try their chicken berry pulav but they didn't had small portion pr half plate only on big plate of 5-6 chicken pieces in 700 Rs which is too much for a single person to eat. They should start giving half portions also. Then I tried their sali mutton keema which was really good in taste.

Lovely place with an old world charm. Serves good parsi food and other delicacy. You should try their Raspberry drink and their Berry Pulao. The place is crowded during peak lunch hours but the service is very decent. Restaurant takes only Cash and no online transactions are allowed hence please carry cash with you.

I loved the staff, super friendly and understanding. Although its charm has faded a bit, as they haven't maintained it enough, definitely its history is something worth. The food is nice, although expensive and little less in quantity than expected. We had Mutton Biryani, Mutton Cutlet and Caramel Custard. As they are known for their only Parsi cuisine, the food being on the sweeter end, including the curries, might not be a great option for spicy food lovers.

Ambience was really nice because of the authentic atmosphere. The waiter was a nice and kind guy and knew how to sell things to us. We had the prawn specialty with berries. It was okay but a bit overhyped. Also everything was pretty expensive.

Amazing people serving some amazingly authentic Parsi clsssic dishes like Chicken Farcha & Fish patra. Old school and rough but positive vibes were full on. Loved it all.
