Persian Restaurant, Colaba- An Indian Ocean Time Capsule

This historic hole in the wall eatery in Colaba, is a trip down memory lane to an Indian Ocean aesthetic where Parsi eateries used to dominate the social life of everyday Bombay, the only real Mumbai to be candid.

These spaces are all over the Indian Ocean World from the Karak Kadas in Bur Dubai to the Warungs or Mamaks in Islamcate Nusantara.

These spaces are community care places where neighbourhood uncles banter over commissions and contracts and the taxi wallah comes in for a quick egg bhurji, pav and chai.

Old School Colaba
The Chai was brilliant
The Menu
Time stands still
The Persian Tiles Exterior
The South Bombay Vibe
