With a cult following and festive lavender tables to boot, this thali mainstay – one of the oldest in the city – puts on the full-court flavour with its never-ending Gujarati/Rajasthani set meals, full of farsans (bite-size snacks) and scrumptious veg curries. The air-con environs are a welcome retreat from the busy congestion below. It has been open since 1945.
