SodaBottleOpenerWala

If you're craving a slice of old Bombay's charm blended with mouthwatering Parsi-Irani flavors, Soda Bottle Openerwala in Mumbai is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you step in, the ambience wraps you in a warm, welcoming embrace, meticulously recreating the vibe of those classic Irani cafes that once dotted the city. Vintage decor, quirky soda bottle elements, and a lively yet cozy atmosphere make it feel like a time warp to a simpler, more flavorful era. The food here is nothing short of delicious – a true homage to Irani cafe staples. We devoured the Kheema Pav, with its perfectly spiced minced mutton slathered on soft pav, and the Burji Pav, fluffy scrambled eggs bursting with flavors. Don't miss the Bun Muska, buttery and indulgent, alongside other authentic dishes that transport you straight to the streets of old Bombay. Highlight was Rasberry Soda. Adding to the fun, the playlist featured all the hits from the 80s and 90s Bollywood era. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic, making recommendations with a smile and ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Overall, Soda Bottle Openerwala is a gem for anyone seeking great food, great vibes, and a touch of Mumbai's history.

A place that recreates bygone Bombay nostalgia of the great Persian culinary tradition. It's a great effort to bring the the experience close to people who don't live around South Mumbai. A counter at the door with a Parsi cashier, or a host like Boman Kohinoor walking through the tables can add that extra charm. Loved the experience. I hope they reopen couple of their branches again.

Been to this place for lunch with my family, the service was a bit erratic few items flew in fast but other took some time to arrive. Tried the mutton sukka, nalli nihari, chicken berry pulav, fish and chips all of them good. Mutton dishes could have been better, berry pulav was great. Lagan nu custard a must try. The decor is very relaxed with old days charm. Definitely will be back again to try more.😍

If you are in BKC looking for authentic Parasi cuisine you are coming to the perfect place. SodaBottle Opener Wala was started as an initiative to make Parasi cuisine available in an elegant way. Yes you would always find vintage Irani cafes across Mumbai with hardly any new decor as they still maintain the old look. This particular restaurant has maintained the vintage look with an elegance. Went there on a weekday lunch and ordered the bestsellers - Bun Maska and chai, Chicken Dhansak, Baida Roti and the vintage sodas. The food was perfectly cooked with an amazing taste. I would say it’s a must try for the food the decor and vintage vibes. The chicken was perfectly cooked, I am not a big fan of Irani chai so I did not like it so you can ditch the chai and either munch on their keema pav.

Even though the place is highly reccomended for non veg, I found good vegetarian selection! We had the pav bhaji, the mac n cheese, raasta sando, misal pav. All were hits! The lagan nu custard was delish! The icing on the cake was the ambience, decor- nostagia provoking decor and the music! Vintage classic 90's and 80's music and a juke box! A must visit place! Will be back again when I visit Mumbai again!

Excellent atmosphere and the staff are extremely courteous. Staff Banti was very friendly and caring. The breakfast was delicious and was made to our taste. The music was superb, pink Floyd, eagle’s etc. History displayed on the walls and tables makes it a very interesting place to visit. Will definitely come here for dinner- weekend music night . A must visit place

This is an amazing place with a strong heritage and historical vibe. The location is great, and the ambiance and decor are truly impressive. Surprisingly for such a famous and historical establishment, the service was average and forgettable. We had to wait a long time for even basic items like bun maska and chai. While the food taste wasn't bad and had a signature Persian flavor, this spot is definitely more for taking pictures and potentially bumping into celebrities

Visited on a friend’s recommendation, and overall, it was a fun experience with a few caveats. • Food: The highlight of the night — consistently good and full of flavor. Definitely worth going for the food alone. • Ambience: Great vibe, but be prepared — it gets very cramped at night, especially on weekends. The space tends to turn into more of a dance floor than a restaurant, so if you’re looking for a relaxed dinner, this might not be the best spot. • Drinks: Cocktails were just okay — not bad, but nothing memorable either. • Music: High-energy, mostly Bollywood and commercial hits. Great for dancing, but too loud for conversation. • Tip: If you don’t have a table, skip weekends — walk-ins will likely be left standing. Good vibe overall, but go for the food and the buzz — not for a quiet drink or a well-crafted cocktail.
