Top choice in Bengaluru (Bangalore)


This terrific new place, with its brilliant comfort-food menu of Persian soups and Parsi specials like salli boti (mutton served with matchstick potatoes), is a kooky spin on a Bombay Irani cafe. The decor is semi-wacky, with mismatched seating, clashing colours and quirky ornaments. Definitely order a rich, creamy and foamy Phateli coffee or Irani chai to finish your meal.
