It is near Bombay Stock Exchange, walkable from
Flora Fountain, Fort area. Bun Maska and Chai is
classic. They have special good items per day
apart from regular Parsi non-veg and veg food.
Chicken Cutlet and Chicken Masala along with
Breads simply fatastic. The payment is only
in Cash but then, there are ATMs nearby for cash
withdrawal.
One if the few remaining Irani restaurants in Mumbai. It still had the old world rustic charm to it and. Serves a special dish during lunch every day along with Irani restaurant specials like omlette, cutlet and so on.
We loved the Irani Pulao here which is specially served during lunch. It was delicious. And quite filling and easy on pockets.
If you have never been to Irani cafe, font forget to try out the legendary irani chai and Pallonji's raspberry soda
Food 4/5
Ambiance 4/5
Pricing - decently priced
It is one of the oldest Irani Cafes of town.
Those old typical yet humble interiors remind you of celebration of their Iranian food.
Salli Botti is the perfect dish for those who live sweet and spicy tingling taste.
One of their signature dishes is a must try.

A classic South Mumbai restaurant serving Parsi food. The place has the typical vibe of these old timer places - simple decor, tables placed close to each other and one page menus. We tried the Mutton salli botti & chicken keema with couple of plates of pav. The day's special Irani pulao was unfortunately out of stock by the time we reached. Both the dishes were tasty but wouldn't call it the best I've had till date. Ofcourse we had the raspberry soda to go with our meal & a caramel custard to finish off. The caramel custard was ok.. it was clearly those packaged ones & not freshly made at the cafe.
Overall it was a filling, decent meal within a reasonable price range.
My 406th review
I m in love with this kind of old heritage cafes in south mumbai, nariman point ke pucha, fort, colaba, kala ghoda area. It gives vibes of old mumbai with antic furniture n food served in old style, menu placed under d glass of table.
Just loved it
A great place to chill during office hours...... A typical irani- Parsi joint......... I am visiting this place since last 5 years........ They have limited menu...... Fixed for days..... But worth it....... The food is amazing and it is not at alll costly.....
I have tried everything here form keema pav to salli chicken...... To briyani..... To cutlets.
..to farcha.... To fish fillets...... To various parzi pulav..... To beja in egg fry....to anda burji..... And may more stuffs..... The food has a authentic parzi taste..... And the amazing parzi drink of Raspberry. This place also serve chilled beer.
Must try for Kheema lovers. Above that, I ordered chicken biryani, and the meat was tender and fresh. Highly recommend this restaurant for it's quality and taste

Value for money *****
This cafe is very hygienic and it is for family friends and couples .
The food which you get has a traditional Irani taste and spices added are quite different.
Mutton is best served in this place
Ambience is super , staff behaviour is wonderful and I guess this is one of the best Iranian cafe we have in Mumbai.
Portion compared to price is small so they can improve it
Overall it’s a must visit for people visiting fort or Colaba area.
This cafe is very good for morning breakfast must visit this place in the morning time good chai and maska pav is served here must try this place

Cafe military is parsi resturant located very close of Flora fountain. It takes hardly 10-15 mins to reach here by foot.
Even though many restaurants in Mumbai serve this sweet, but its nothing close to this one. Caramel Custard served here is made in house and is one of the best things to try out here. Its soft and smooth and most importantly its made fresh.
This place is closed on Sundays, so make sure you plan to go here on weekends.
Cuisine : caramel custard
Taste : 4.2 /5
Serves: 1 person
Sweet-o-meter: 4/5
Place : Cafe Military
Price : ₹50 caramel custard
Location: Near Flora fountain, Colaba, Mumbai
Ambience : 4/5 (old, simple, nothing fancy at all)
Service : 2.5/5 (waiters were arrogant and did the things at their own pace)
Verdict : one of the few places where you get such nice caramel custard. Mind you, they accept only cash.

Kheema biryani was medium spicy. I really liked the quality of the kheema. After that, I ordered kheema pav, it was coriander kheema. It was also medium spicy. Pastonji raspberry was refreshing. Highly recommended.
Great kheema fry and caramel custard at very affordable prices. Dhansak is mild but we'll spiced and very flavourful. Raspberry drink is too much for a single person. Cutlets are also very good.

The landscape of Mumbai cuisine would be incomplete without the vast number of Irani Cafés dispersed across the city. One of the most legendary cafés has to be Cafe Military.
Located on a busy street in Fort, Mumbai, this café may not look like much on the outside but has character on the inside. Just enter the restaurant and seat yourself. You only have to wait for a few minutes before a server comes to take your order.
You must have their Irani Chai. This is one of the best I have had. This light chai is packed with lemongrass goodness. And no chai is complete without some Bun Maska. They add tutti-frutti to their bread and slather plenty of butter.
I do recommend their cheese toast as well. While vegetarians don't have a lot of options for a hefty meal, you have enough choices to have a light snack. Most people do visit Cafe Military for its affordable range of alcohol.
Service is no frills. The servers are sweet. They come, take your order, and give you your food as soon as possible.
I hope Cafe Military starts providing more options for vegetarians. For now, I'll always go back for their tea.
I visit this place atleast once a week. The egg Bhurjee with bun maska is amazing. Smoked chicken and chicken fry masala is amazing too.its also a reasonable place and worth the money.
It was lunch time and I was quite hungry and was finding a good place to have my lunch, I found this place name cafe military serving parsi cuisines and hence decided to give it a try.
I had chicken masala and chicken biryani both tue dishes were good taste wise as well as quantity wise.
A typical amazing Parsi food outlet in Fort. Although it is not as famous as Kayani's or Britannia cafe but the quality is as good if not better.
Sallit boti - 4/5
Keema pav - 5/5
Custard-5/5. The sweetness level was perfect to be honest. Not too sweet.
Chicken cutlet - 3/5
Ambience 4/5
It gives you a typical Parsi cafe feels
Service 5/5
Really prompt and nice staff
One should not miss out on this place.
Cafe Military
An institution for Parsi food
____________________________________
Ambience:
A classic Parsi restaurant with unpretentious decor and seating. Could occupy about 40-50 people at a time, I believe.
____________________________________
Food:
Kheema - Their Kheema tastes delightful. Not very spicy and easy on the palate. The quantity; however, is mildly disappointing for the price.
Pav needs to be ordered separately at ₹5 pp.
Kheema Biryani - Perfectly cooked biryani rice with caramelized onions and chicken kheema.
____________________________________
Service:
The service is a tad bit slow in terms of ordering. Once you place the order, the food is served within minutes.

This is a superb place to enjoy authentic irani food and grab a beer ......... typical irani cafe ambience......... food taste and quality is superb ...... quick service ....... pocket friendly ..... serves a beer named kangaro which i have never seen in mumbai at any other place ...... overall a fantastic experience
Love the food! It was my first time trying mutton salli boti and I realllly really liked it. The mutton is cooked really well. I tried the mutton dhansak too. It was pretty good!
If you love Parsi cuisine full of traditional love and passion then this is the place you must visit.. it’s so impressive to see that the place hasn’t changed a bit nor influenced with the adulteration of the modern cuisine..

A heritage irani / parsi eatery tucked away at the side of flora fountain in South Mumbai.
They have half the section with the old charm seating and half with the general seating. Good if they can change some broken metal chairs lying around.
Their signature dishes include,
1) Kheema Sali (Kheena with Sali)
2) Akuri (an iranian scrambled egg, with masala)
3) Mutton Sali Boti (Mutton Pieces in gravy with sali)
4) Kheema Masoor Pulav (Pulav with Kheema and Masoor Dal on top)
5) Caramel Custard for desert
They also serve chilled beer, sandwiches and a variety of other items.
Their food is just AWESOME and they have different specialities, that change everyday.
Rates are reasonable compared to the other irani / parsi joints. Don't expect anything fancy, besides the food.
Waiters are always smiling and service is very quick.
Food: The kheema pav is par excellence. I also tried the fish cutlet. It was well cooked and beautifully spiced. If I had not been fully satiated, I would have went on to try out their other offerings.
Ambiance: Gives you the vintage Bombay feeling. This cafe was first set-up in 1933 by a Parsi immigrant. If the brilliant food is not enough, relish the nostalgia seeping through the cloth and glass covered square shaped tables and the Victorian era clock ticking on the wall.
Service: The waiters make you feel at home and quickly bring the food. You won't have to wait hungry for long.
This is one of the few places that you get attached to over time. Do visit when in town.
We had fried chicken with egg n onion which was so good , it's a nice place to visit. Food quality is so good. And mainly this cafe is not so expensive.
Cafe Military is located at Nagindas master road, Fort. This place was on the list of top Irani restaurants, so I thought I would give it a try. So we ordered akuri pav and caramel custard. I just loved both those items, caramel custard was perfect. I would love to taste other items on my next visit. I loved the ambience, which was old school. This place is cheap, budget friendly when you compare it with other legendary Irani restaurants.
Military Cafe is one of the few surviving Irani Cafes in Mumbai. The place is a few minutes walk from the Flora Fountain. It has a laid back ambiance and the typical red white checkered table tops add to it's vintage charm. Along with the delicious Irani food the place also serves chilled beer. If you do not drink, order a chilled bottle of Palonji Raspberry.
The Food:
Kheema Pav- 8.5/10
Chicken Biriyani- 9/10
Chicken/Mutton/Fish Cutlet with gravy- 9/10
Chicken Curry Rice- 6/10
Caramel Custard- 10/10
Fish Cutlet with Tomato gravy- 5/10 (part of the Navroj Special menu)
Tips:
1. Visit in the early afternoon to avail all the dishes on the menu.
2. On a Saturday go early or you might miss out on the best caramel custard.
3. The place is closed on Sundays.
Landed in Cafe Military on suggestion of my father who used to work in this area 30 yrs ago.. Nestled in the quite corner of busy Fort area, the Irani restaurant has still managed to to retain its old world charm.. Th le waiters are friendly and welcoming.. They serve you with respect.. Suggest special dishes and most importantly do not let you wait for your drink or food.. Had London pilsner followed by Mutton Masala Fry and Chiken Masala Fry with the staple 'paav'. Yum is the word.. The best part about the whole experience was that it brought back the memories I never had... All in all a must visit for all the foodies who want to enjoy the old world charm of Mumbai..
This place is a ride to old Bombay. The ambience, the food and everything will remind you of the beauty that most speak about when it comes to Bombay. The food is amazing, Sundar swast tikau! Custard is a must have and so is the chai. I roughly had around 3 chais in a span of three hours I guess. Biryani was amazing and so was the kheema. The smell of the fresh bun is enticing. The prices are enticing, and the quantity good. Go!!! 😁
In plate chicken masala fry with bread, mouthwatering, yummy 5/5 for this dish. We did not get many options as we went on non working Saturday for office nearby and courts. This place has more menu while office and courts nearby are open. So visit when it's a working day so that you will get more options.
Good place for some Parsi food and mild beers. Spacious and less crowds. Varieties available in Chicken and Mutton. chicken cutlet is recommendable. Most of the time there is no availability of their special food items.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
The place is amazing they have very quite old Parsi infrastructure which is very nice. I personally love it.
Talking about food I was having very first time Parsi cuisine so I didn't knew much about it, but whatever I had ordered it was amazing. My first experience was good.
So the very first dish I ordered was this chicken masala with bread you can see the whole big fat chicken in the plate and it tasted so so good they have option for chicken either you want boneless chicken or with bones so I ordered with bones. And this is only for 1 person, in their cafe the quantity is only for one person. So don't ask their about quantity.
Second dish I ordered was chicken biryani this is also for 1 person it was tasted heavenly so delicious it was, they served the whole big chicken thigh on their biryani. They were not serving like other restaurants served like pieces of chicken in biryani.
The staff was so friendly and amazing everything is quick. I really love it.
Go and have fun with your friends and family. ❤❤
One of the legendary restaurant in that still stands tall. Located at waking distance from Bombay High Court this is famous for its Parsi Cuisine. Needless to say when you say pars food you think of Kheema Pav. Well it was good, But still according me Kyani & Co beats it.
The cafe indeed is a remnant of the Mumbai. One say see the space getting crowded with white collar people, young couples, lawyers, and anything anyone that reflects the average Mumbai crowd. Definitely an authentic Mumbai place with seemingly polished yet simple crowd. Great service by the staff and I tried the Monday menu with Mutton fry and chicken fry. Both uber amazing. For desserts, I had caramel custard and was not at all disappointed. The staff suggested that their Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday menus have amazing differently cooked cuisines. For all the food I had, the bill was only Rs. 450/- and anyone who hasn't checked out this cafe missed out on a genuine Mumbai experience.
Who doesn't want a quick beer with some great kheema pulav coupled with kheema ghotala for lunch. If you also fall into this category, then visit this wonderful parsee / irani cafe in Fort and delve into the deliciousness of their preparations with a chilled kangaroo or a london pilsner (these are beer brands btw). Other delicacies include preparations with goat brain and prawns. Must visit place!
Located in the bylanes of Fort area this one may not be that easy to locate if you are new to the place.
Started in 1933 this is one of the few Parsi Restaurants to run in Mumbai. They have wide variety of menu and they serve day wise special food items.
Coming to the food i had their Chicken Biryani,Chicken Cutlet,Smoked Chicken,Kheema Pav, Chicken Dhansak, Chicken Masala Chicken Farcha and Chicken Russian Pattice.
I liked their Biryani, Chicken Russian Pattice,Chicken masala, Chcken Cutlet, Smoked Chicken which had some sort of authenticity in terms of a Parsi dish.
They also serve Beer at pocket friendly rates along with Good combination of Snacks.
Surely would come here again to try their other menu.
One of the most affordable and oldest Parsi cafe in Mumbai. Unlike other budget cafes and joints, this place is very hygienic and well maintained. A perfect place to relish Parsi delicacies along with a jug of beer. Mutton Dhansak , salli chicken, mutton cutlet with gravy and the kheema are amongst the must try dishes. End your meal with caramel custard or badam pak. "Parsi food and beer", what else can make a afternoon meal so great
May be the best restaurant in fort area for chicken. Typival parsi style chicken mutton. They have maintained their taste and ambience for years (as heard from regular comers). Prices seem little high for quantity we receive but quality of food makes up for it.

On a sunny Saturday, after a relatively enjoyable train ride within an empty lady's compartment, my husband and I went to the Kala Ghoda festival. It reminded me of college festival, replete with art that seems fairly amateur, stalls that sell wares that has few takers, too many onlookers, and the customary selfie was in our face. Organizers of the Kala Ghoda festival, you're really conning the public if you think this is the 'best' that you can come up with for the Indian public. I will give credit and kudos to the security and friskers. They were efficient.
Anyway, we then went on to visit family with whom we had a delicious home made lunch, following which we decided to walk around the Fort area, where I saw the bull of Dalal street, bought brownies from Theobroma(heart melt, sugar high, chocolate delight, and cholesterol high) to finally I wanted a cuppa chai to wake me up from my mid afternoon slumber.
Into Military cafe we walked in and I was pleased to discover that it was Beer o'clock. The ambiance is similar to other Parsi cafes- run down, spartan, bare essentials, and standard parsi snacks on offer with a set menu. Unfortunately, only kheema and maska brun was available, so we settled for that with some local beer.
Two beers down, everything looks and tastes good, the world is a great place to be. It's no wonder Vijay Mallya still believes he's the king of good times, and even with his financial losses, he's still living it up king size in London. Beer does make everyone happier and the bladder fuller faster. It would be wise to avoid the bathrooms, let's just say that it could kill your appetite. I, for one, strongly believe that Swachch Bharat starts at home, in our own bathrooms, and in how we use and maintain a toilet. But I digress.
Food's affordable, dirt cheap, lots of Parsi food staples and super quick service. Perhaps one of the few remaining authentic Parsi joints that can sustain it's place in the culinary market.
All time favorite place.. they serve lovely dhansak and Curry chawal, chilled beers,raspberry and dukes lemon.. Situated in tamarind Lane at fort. It's a lovely place for parsi good
Best place with cheap rate you can hang out with your gang. Very good service. Staff is too polite. Food is cheap in cost but very good in taste. You can try if you are near to fort area.
This is an old cafe close to the stock exchange building and also close to the court. good, tasty and economical Irani food available here. They also serve chilled mild beers The chicken salli is a must try. I even tried the egg akuri which is like bhurji, just that the water content is more. Do try the caramel custard.
Awesome food with laid back ambience. I ordered Chicken fried masala which was mentioned in Zomato. I would give it 4 for taste. I would love to visit here again.
Cafe military is awesome restaurant in fort this restaurant old restaurant in the Fort this restaurant taste is nice this restaurant is non veg in the Fort there are many people come to eat in this restaurant in the restaurant my favorite dishes is birayani , chicken lolly,chicken,birayani, etc the restaurant service is nice this restaurant waiter service very good this restaurant very big restaurant.
Nestled in the stone age office buildings in Fort, this little Irani Cafe serves up some pretty dishes to die for... You can't miss out on their Kheema pav n caramel custer. We tried the Parsi favourite - Chicken Farcha and Kheema Biryani which turned out great too. Highly recommended to the Fort Office goers.....
My visit to Cafe Military leaves just one other of top ten Irani restaurants in Mumbai..
We Ordered -
> Kheema pav
> Rs. 120/-
> Chicken Curry Rice
> Rs. 160/-
> Caramle Custard
> Rs. 50/-

Cafe Military is the one of the oldest restaurant in Mumbai City. It has listed in Top 10 Irani restaurant. This is located in heart of the city. This hotel's structure is typical Irani style.
The kheema Pav is most famous dish in the city. It serves delicious caramel custard also. They serves chilled beer as well. They serves selective brand beer.
Amazing Place to have a budget lunch consistent taste always had an amazing Irani cafe experience out here! People you should definitely try this place out!😍🍻
If u r in fort area u must visit this cafe ordered kheema ghotala it was very yummy and their military bread was very soft and at last a lime soda it was nice but a little bit salty
What a relaxing place!! Had our lunch yesterday.
We ordered
—————
• Kheema Ghotala
• Smoked Chicken
• Pallonjis
• Caramel custard
—————
The way kheema was served with the bread slices was very unique. Kheema was good. Smoked chicken we expected in a dry form but it was served with gravy which was perfect too. Caramel custard was perfectly slushy!!

Foooood 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Overall ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
A must visit for all the Keema Pav, Biryani, Chicken Farcha and Caramel Custard Lovers!
I often visit this place to grab a bite and it never fails to disappoint me. My personal favourite and recommended dish would be the Chicken Farcha which gets over really quick for it's only available on Tuesday and Friday. It's Parsi style fried chicken served with potato wedges and bread. You can choose between the Leg piece or Breast piece. The chicken is tender and fresh while the coating is full of flavour. Their Keema Sali is delicious. The Chicken/Mutton Biryani is yummy and satisfies your cravings and the Caramal Custard delights the sweet tooth.
Do give this place a try!
A "90's feel" Cafe, i went here on a working day and to my surprise the cafe was full. As soon as you enter, you can smell the essence of flavors. A nice decent ambience with good service and even good food.
I had,
• Bheja Masala with bread - This Parsi dish was scrumptious and finger licking good. The self baked bread was soft and treat to have with the gravy. Though quantity wise it would've been better.
• Chicken Farcha - First time i had a parsi starter dish. The chicken piece marinated and deep fried with egg coating etc. Loved it.
• Mutton Kheema Biryani - I don't really have any desire for mutton biryanis. But thought of giving it a try here, surely it was good enough in taste. The mutton was tender and blended well together.

Best Irani Cafe In South Mumbai. I love to eat kheema pav and kheema Ghotla. Still maintained the old ambiance. Love to spend time at the cafe.
This is not a restaurant. This is a shrine. Every item on the menu is a must try. You just cannot miss to try them However, my favorites are Kheema Pao (universal favorite), Chicken fried with egg and Chicken fried with onion. Caramel custard makes your day.
(They also serve beer)
Super food. Old school interiors. Loved the Kheema Paav, Salli Boti (mutton) and the Mutton Cutlet with Gravy. Washed it down with (rarely available) London Pilsner beer and ended the meal with amazingly light, mildly sweet Caramel Custard!
The Kheema was to die for, and had a visceral meaty taste to it, and the Boti had a generous helping of meat. The Mutton Cutlet with gravy was superlative and stole the show.
The bread served is typical Irani bakery bread, soft and fluffy, and it complemented the dishes well.
The meal was really memorable due to the quaintness of the place. Don't expect a luxury dining experience here, and you will be very happy.
Ps: the food is loaded with spices and can be heavy on the stomach.
We had a really good time in café military.
The prices are really affordable.
The staff is nice.
Totally recommend veg biryani.
Good place in Mumbai.
It is a quite little place in one of the gully's of fort. We order kheema pav and bheja fry with pav. Caramel custard was the perfect dessert after the yummy breakfast. The food tasted good and the staff was very friendly.
Amazing place to have a beer with a deadly combination of saali chicken/mutton/kheema with paav..end should be with a caramel custard...A perfect lunch/dinner with anyone..
The caramel custard here is to die for. Perfect place to grab a quick lunch or post work beer if your office is located in the Fort area. However the staff isn't very friendly (but this is something common amongst almost all Irani cafes in South Bombay). the food and the heritage of this place more than make up for any shortcomings in their staff.
Love the caramel custard, the keema pav is old style and has been a staple for this place for years. U can also dig in some silled beer. The llace has a daily menu also
Amazing place to have food, i was lucky to have worked nearby and stumble upon this great find!!!
Iv has food here for 4 years and it doesn’t bore your taste buds let me tell you. Must must must eat out here.
If u wanna have the best kheema pav... then ur at the right place here...... the awesome sali boti still excites me to come here on weekends
An old parsi cafe located in the busy streets of fort. This one's a perfect place for beer lovers at cheap prices. Cafe Military gives you the 90's feeling just when you step into it. We ordered:
1) egg omelette- a typical egglicious omelette
2) Caramel Custard - Having this one was the only motive I had visited this place. I will surely recommend this one.
3) Raspberry Soda- a must have when you are here
Best parsi cafe!! Amazing food. Just love the place and the ambience. This is my must visit place whenever I am in fort area. Tucked in a cozy corner next to bse building...this place if a heaven for food lovers
Whenever I m in Mumbai I make it a point to come at this Cafe because they serve lip- smacking Parsi food. I m fan of Parsi cuisine n I love all the dishes here.
Try their Sali Gosht, Dhansak, Custard n don't forget to have Pallonjis Raspberry Soda. Beer lovers can have their local brew at a very reasonable price.
They shut at 9.30 pm so u have to go early for your evening grub. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
This restaurant serves authentic Parsi delicacies like - Sali Boti and Dhansak. Chicken Farcha(fried chicken ) is amazing. Caramel custard is perfect. Try Raspberry soda. Pockets friendly place .
P.S. the above mentioned delicacies r available only on Tuesday & Friday
This is a very nice place if you want to have parsi /mughalai food.try keema and bun maska with pallonji . Worth a revisit every time. It is old but gold ,😍
One of the oldest and most legendary cafes in Mumbai
Care military is one of the must try cafes in Mumbai
If I had to suggest one thing here it has to be the dhanasak
I have never eaten anything like that anywhere else
Along with pallonji
Sounds like a perfect meal to me
Try anything on the menu it's authentic and Parsi
We ended up here for the typical irani cafe experience. The egg bhurji with bread was cool. The coffee delicious.
The service cool.
The ambience lovely.
This place was totally cute.
Cafe Military is one of my favorite places to have beer and people watch. Kangaroo bear is this place's usp. Their kheema is great. The mutton masala and Chicken masala is also good. Their pav is more like bread. It's soft and really nice.
The Kheema they serve in the morning is the previous day's kheema according to me. So I prefer going at noon or after 12.
If you go here at 10, you'll come across an old man reading his newspaper and sipping beer.
One of the oldest restaurant in Fort area. Had boneless mutton biryani which was nice. The pattice was amazing which was served with gravy. Best was the caramel custard pudding. It's a nice place with different menu for every day as with regular menu. The the staff is good n guide about the menu
It is one of the iconic vintage cafes of Mumbai. The menu is limited. It serves Parsi food. The food is good. The ambience is vintage. The waiters serve quite fast and will take care of everything. It also serves beers.
Pro tip: Do try out the weekday special dishes and kheema salli here
An old favourite revisited after a while. The ambience & waiters are still the same but the food taste is not as before. Still, it is quite good and affordable as compared to some others in the vicinity. I would still recommend a visit.
While passing through Colaba and near Kala Ghoda area, saw this rustic looking restaurant and caught attention. Initially looked dull, but after entering, came to know its a Parsi Restaurant. Tried their Chai, Brun/Bun Maska, chocolate mousse and scrambled eggs, which was really good... Food is Good, service is also quite fast, but they accept only cash. Rest all a Good experience
Situated in CST, this Irani cafe, among the oldest, is a favorite haunt of mine. I always opt for the keema pav, and on my last visit, I savored their delicious chicken tikka masala. As a food and bar establishment, I paired my meal with Kangaro beer. The nostalgic Irani vibes add to the charm, but do note that this place accepts 'cash only'.
Cafe Military mein vegetarian ke liye kya hi milega? As it turns out, there are a few dishes. And, the man that Sheriar Koshravi is, the dishes aren't merely as token but taste great too! I had their Veg Pulav is superior than the biryani I have had at most places. Also enjoyed their veg dhansak and caramel custard.
Amazing place to try Irani food. The food quantity is average but the taste is amazing. You get that vintage feel when you visit there.

Cafe Military is one of those old-school Irani Cafes that will take you back in time. The vibe makes you feel like you're back in the good ol' days. The service too here is old school, where orders are remembered mentally and not noted down. The one server on duty still gets all orders right and serves to all tables and guests politely and efficiently.
What we had here was Salli Boti, Kheema Ghotala, Mutton Cutlet Gravy, Kheema Salli, Brain Masala Fry and Dry Mutton Cutlet. Apart from the dry mutton cutlet, all the items came with a side of Pav. We were 3 people and each of the dishes was sufficiently had by each of us. So it's safe to say that the portion sizes are great! Taste-wise as well the food was up to the mark according to me.
At Cafe Military, they also have some interesting selection of Beers. You can enjoy your meal with a chilled beer as well.
For dessert, we had the caramel custard which is popular at Irani Cafes.
I definitely recommend this place, you can enjoy good food with friends and family and also enjoy the vibe around you!.
Mutton kheema & Pav tasted really good. I liked the Kangaro Beer. I would definitely visit the place if I happen to come to Mumbai again.
They only accept cash.

An irani cafe which brings back the old bombay charm with it’s classic irani dishes and an old city charm ambience. Food over here is very tasty definitely try their caramel custard and berry pulao.
This is what a Parsi cafe should be, oh my god the food is amazing and the hospitality is just the best. Mr. Rusi Wadia, is a very humble and sweet man who knows his stuff and guides the customer without misleading them. The chicken cutlet with and without curry is to die for and the caramel custard is just out of this world. To top it all off just grab a soda or their suggested drinks. You can't ask for something better.

Amazing hospitality.
A great Iranian cafe of old world charms, mosaic and great food. The service is superb and our waiter was very courteous and knowledgeable in every menu item. My friend had chicken keema pav and I had veg dhansak along with the unmissable Pallonji’s raspberry soda! A great place for some laid back, relaxed old school vibes in the fort area of South Mumbai

This old parsi place is a good place to hang out bear fort, the keema pao is great with simple keema and fresh pao, the service is friendly and quick. Sit back and relax over a cup of tea or coffee. There is no A/c here, so you should enjoy the breeze from the fans .
