The white pepper chicken was good. Lagani custard was good too. The owner was hospitable. Seating could have been more comfortable. Price is good considering the locality but bit high if you consider the ambience. Good for lovers of Parsi food.
This little "hole in the wall" place is a landmark in Bandra. Located at the junction fo Pali Hill market and Dr. Ambedkar Road, this small restaurant has been serving Parsi food with a friendly, family feel to locals for years.
On my recent visit, I brought a couple from the US (Indian wife, Gora husband) here as the first stop in my guided culinary tour of Mumbai. We were not disappointed. The dhansak was flavored to a tee, not too bland, not too spicy, with a rich mix of vegetables coming through in the sauce and with tender mutton chunks.
The murgi boti was quite satisfying, as well. We didn't have room or time for the lagan nu caramel custard, but on past visits, my dining partners have loved that dish.
The prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere -- all outdoor dining -- is fine. Best of all, the owner is happy to "kibitz" (chat) with patrons. Remember to say hi when you stop by!
Lagan Nu Custard is great too.
A lovely place for mutton lovers (other non veg is also available), mutton salli boti is mouth watering, kheema, cutlets are really delicious. I'm sure you'd never be able to have what's there on the menu at once and you'll go back as you will get addicted with the taste! #mutton #snacks #kheema #nonveglove #life
I hav been eating from this place for the last ten years. The food is parsi cuisine apart from that sandwiches hotdogs and rolls are also available. The chicken salli boti, prawn pattya, chicken farcha and dhansak are superb he also sells brown rice and berry pulav. Desserts also include parsi dairy kulfi and laganu custard. The club sandwich and the puffs are also fresh. The sandwich is pretty filling its loaded with ham shredded chicken cheese boiled egg and slaw. Definitely worth a visit.

I have been to this place in Pali Naka for more times than I could choose to count. This place counts among the dwindling number of establishments serving Parsi cuisine in Mumbai, more so in the burbs. While the old Irani places are morphing into populist eating establishments serving an ambiguous demographic, Ashmick’s is the torch bearer of authentic Parsi cuisine. I am saddened by the fact that it is not as much patronized by the Bandra crowd that once did and, as a result, its very existence may be in jeopardy.
Moving on, Ashmick’s is a café with limited patio-type seating. It gives you the feeling of a street side café and what better setting than Pali Naka. The temporary road construction work going on in Pali Naka is a bit of a distraction; other than that, the street side setting at the café is quite charming. So, in that sense, ambience is interesting.
The menu is quite extensive and includes offerings for both the meat eaters and the vegetarians. Leading the meat eaters list is the Patra Ni Machhi; then you have Dhansak, Biryani and Pilav. Other specialties include the Salli Boti, Kheema Salli, Farcha, and the like. They also have the mutton/chicken Berry Pilav. The vegetarian offerings include Veg. Pilav, Dal Kichdi, Aloo Mutter, Paneer dishes and Dal Fry. The place also has puffs (two-crust mini pies), cutlets, meatballs, sandwiches and similar snack items. For dessert, they have the inimitable Lagan Nu Custard. And oh, they have one of those Frankie kiosks by the side, which I have yet to check out.
Over the years, I have checked out most of the non-vegetarian offerings. Most recently, I had the meatballs, a Ham and Cheese Sandwich, Chicken/Mutton Puffs and the Lagan Nu Custard – all takeaway. The meatballs were the perfect addition to my Spaghetti and Ragu mushroom/tomato sauce. The Ham and Cheese sandwich was my perfect breakfast/lunch. The bread appeared to be brown, the ham was tender and moist and the shredded cheese was the perfect complement. The puffs (mini pies) reminded me of the stuff we used to get in Bandra at some of the old Irani restaurants and some of the local bakeries, some of which are still around. The pastry dough casing (crust) was flaky and the savory contents were nice and juicy, just like I remember them to be. The Lagan Nu Custard was the fitting finale; not overbearingly sweet but divinely flavorful and sprinkled with nuts to provide that interesting texture. Loved it. Food gets a two thumbs up.
Ashmick’s is still one of those places where you can expect to be pampered by the owner/operator of the café. The gentleman is the quintessential Parsi and operates the place more like an extension of his home rather than a commercial establishment. He has been around for quite a while and is an interesting conversationalist. I enjoyed the service and the conversation. Service is a two thumbs up.
My stops at Ashmick’s will continue. I hope that my Bandra brethren will continue to patronize the place so it can still be around – rather than a memory – which most of the old time Parsi restaurants have been relegated to. Check out Ashmick’s – authentic Parsi food in a street side café setting!
Went for a quick bite in the evening.
Small place with minimum seating but man the things we ordered were amazing.
Though it's a parsi cuisine place, didn't have it.
Ordered chicken puff, amazing taste , the chicken sandwich was good and crisp with lot of chicken filling.
Next had their in house burger, well made and nice sauce.
So overall had a great experience, next time will try the parsi cuisine.
Pricing is very pocket friendly.
Unbelievably good Parsi food! Recommend the prawn biryani and the salli boti for any saturday afternoon chill out movie days.
Eating at the makeshift restaurant adds to the entire experience too!!
My go to spot for a quick snack, the Chicken and Mutton puff is always on point. A friendly owner combined with homely preparations makes this a good spot, for snacks. I haven't tried the mains from here or any of the signature Parsi items.
Ashmick's Snack Shack is a tiny eating joint located on the busy Dr. Ambedkar Road in Bandra West. Nestled among the biggies, this place serves quite yummy, homely food.
Nothing much in terms of ambiance; it is a small little thing with a few tables but amazing food. We ordered the chicken tikka grilled sandwich and fish cutlets; both superb and with complete value for money.
Note, this place is pretty famous for their Parsi delicacies. Will try those the next time. Keep it up!
Excellent Parsee Food must try mutton briyani it's awesome and please keep up the good workactually all the Parsee food is excellent.Ahura Mazda
Been here twice... didn't have much the first time round, just a couple frankies and mutton puffs which were both pretty decent.
It was last week that we tried a proper meal, with a mutton salli boti and a chicken farcha. I also had a chicken curry rice with was quite alright. The salli boti was more of a goan dish - sweet and sour. The chicken Farcha was a pleasant surprise in the sense it was a mildly flavoured whole leg of chicken which is fried with an egg coating and is served with coleslaw and a boiled egg.
For the kind of place it is - just two tables that can seat around 8 - some might find it a little unfairly priced. But the food is simple and filling.
Its a nice place if you're in the vicinity and looking for a quick wholesome meal.
So, yesterday turned out to be a Parsi Cuisine day in the family. While some relatives had a huge lunch catered by some Parsi specialists, a cousin cooked Dhansaak at home, and I ordered from my long time favourite, Mutton Dhansaak from Snack Shack.
As is the norm knowing my fondness for Dhansaak, my relatives and cousin sent me their respective left-overs.
Glad to say, Snack Shack was still the best out of the 3.
Are you a foodie?
Do you like burgers? If your answer is yes then you must visit this Ashmicks at Bandra. Small and modest Parsi cafe whipping up traditional dishes plus sandwiches and my favorite Burgers.
To all you foodies Ashmicks burger is a must try, filled with loads of chicken salami, cheese, tomatoes, mayo and lot more.
One bite and you feel heavenly, its not so heavy on the pocket and it gives value for every buck. Tantalizing and a must visit place….
It's a nice option for lunch if you're looking for stomach filling meal and not something fancy on Pali hill. I tried the Thursday specials chicken dhansak and mutton berry biryani which tasted quite good. They serve chicken farcha with boiled egg and salad.
Very good authentic Parsi food
The patra fish is too good
The dhansak is the best I have enjoyed so far
The service is quite quick and good
Home delivery is also very efficient
I would eat anything here, all the time. Such an underrated place! It's a delight, budget friendly, and with great options. Chicken potato chops and chicken puff are superb, the cutlets are very good too.Looking forward to trying out all the non veg items. The bonus is the Tibbs Frankie station.

Food heaven! Every time i find a place that serves good food in Bombay (yes Bombay) I feel indebted to them to write a brilliant review.
I went to snack shack absolutely famished and was glad i was as hungry.
The Mutton cutlets literally melt in your mouth and are seasoned to perfection.
Chicken Farcha was easily one of the most well done chicken i have eaten. Lightly seasoned, it was hard to place exactly why I couldnt stop eating except I couldnt. That one was wrapped up greedily!
Kheem per edu with chapati was yet another plateful of greed enducing deliciousness!
We ordered 3 things convinced that at least one wud fail us. None of them did and we ended up being confused about what to eat before what! So we decided to order yet another thing🙈 chicken sali boti with rice. I wiped my plate clean even though I was quite literally bursting at the seams by now.
We wrapped up the meal with the lagan nu custard..yummers!! Not too sweet, beautifully caramelised and gobble inducing!
Snack shack was brilliant! I give it a 4 only because i reserve higher scores for even better food! The service was very nice as well with a very courteous gentleman helping out with orders. Ambience wise it really is a shack, so enjoy the place and tuck in 🙃
Small place which serves Parsi cuisine. Though the tatse might not be aurhentic parsi one,but is still quite pleasant. Mutthon dhansak was quite tasty and so was aaloo mutter. Sali boti could have been better. Nice eat out option for a lazy and quick Sunday lunch.
Nothing beats the authenticity of Parsi food at this place...
Been eating here for years now and every time I eat here, I walk out with a big smile...

Snack Shack is a place very close to my heart. I used to walk up to the place when I could barely reach their table counter. I was one of their 1st customers and since then I have grown along with their food. One of the most under rated places in Bandra Ashmick's Snack Shack provides happiness through food.
The place that introduced me to Chicken Farcha, Chicken Dhansak, Salli-Per-Edu and Lagan Nu Custard at a very young age. I have been their loyal customer since the day I walked into their cafe on the very 1st day. Everyone at Snack Shack is my family and they have spoilt me with good food as a kid. On a weekend when I'm chilling at home Snack Shack is my take away place and if it's a Sunday then Chicken Dhansak it is.
I have done a PHD on their food and can tell you with eyes closed that their Non Veg Club Sandwich, Chicken Puff, Mutton Cutlet, Salli Kheema, Salli Boti, Chicken Dhansak, Chicken Farcha, Egg Potato Chop, Cocktail Kabab, Ham Sandwich, Chicken Tikka Grilled Sandwich, Chicken Burger, Fish Burger, Frankie and Lagan Nu Custard will keep you wanting for more.
The Chicken Farcha is by far Snack Shack's best dish which is a tender piece of chicken leg or breast dipped in egg batter and deep fried. The dish is homely and is filled with contrasting flavours. Also you get their very own home made coleslaw with this dish who's recipe hasn't changed from its invention. A half boiled egg completes the entire dish and makes it worth while.
If you call in on a Sunday do order their Chicken/Mutton Dhansak because all of their Parsi dishes have a very warm and homely touch to it. The place is well priced for the food they serve.
I can vouch for Snack Shack's consistency with food, being their customer from day one. If anything, it has gotten better with time. Do drop in and have a quick meal at the cafe and if you do not get a place opt for take away or do what I do, call for Home Delivery. Do try their food asap and wonder what has taken you so long!
Best place for Parsi food in Bandra. Although the place is small, the food is delicious. Must try out the Chicken Sali Boti and Prawn Curry rice. Definitely go on a Thursday or a Sunday to have the Mutton Dhansak. Also try out the famous Raspberry Soda to bring the whole meal together. Favourite place to go to either for lunch or for dinner.
Nice little joint. Had spotted the spot and stopped by for a light dinner but ended up filling ourselves to the T. Amazing food and nice service.
Been visiting this place like since forever I remmbr.. Years back was a popular joint for parsi cuisine .. Small joint 2-3 tables .. Now they have frankie stall so more crowd comes for that .. But I wud suggest going there for their dhanshaks and Lagan nu custard 👍
Nice price factor .. If ambience is an issue do take parcel but must try for sure ..

'Eat at a Parsi restaurant' was on my to-do list in Mumbai. But couldn't make it to the iconic Parsi places in the Fort area, due to time constraints. A little googling revealed this little place with a blogger mentioning his Parsi mother-in-law approved of this food. So went to this tiny three-table roadside hut for lunch.
Ambience and service are just about okay. It's clean and friendly enough to not be a turn-off.
Now the food. The legendary dhansak wasn't available, so we ordered
1. Keema-per-eedu, keema filled within a fried egg with a juicy yolk (soft but not runny, just the way I like it) served with a piece of roti. The keema was delicious and since this seemed like a 'manners not expected' place, I unashamedly licked my fingers.
2. Sali di boti (mutton) - mutton chunks cooked in a tangy/sweet gravy and served with chapatis. This was delicious as well and I really appreciated the quality of mutton. I understood my father's eternal love affair with true Parsi food.
3. Patra ni machhi - Steamed pomfret (paturi in Bengali) with green chutney. This was decent. Nothing to wax eloquent over, though the chutney was decidedly great.
4. Chicken cutlets - This was terribly disappointing. My friend was sure the chicken has rotted because she found it sour. I don't think it was went bad, just the taste was atrocious.
5. Custard (dad called up and asked us to try it custard, though it's not really my thing) - Very above average, but somehow short of excellent for me (but then am not a fan of custards in general). Friend loved it.
Overall, it was a really good place with what appears to be authentic Parsi fare. Will come back here if I ever live in Mumbai.
Took a friend from Delhi out for a Frankie as a Bombay food, so it had to be Tibbs Frankie. Ashmicks is a cute little place in Pali market. If you're looking for ambience - don't bother going here. Interested in just the food, then yes. We had chicken and vegetarian frankies - cooked well, spiced perfectly and served relatively quick. Watch the generous portions of cheese on a Frankie if you've ordered one with cheese. Also, bonus points for stocking ice cream sodas.
Best biryani and caramel custard... Value for money.. Fast delivery.. Have ordered from here quite often and they have maintained the food standard well..
A decent small place that serves you authentic Parsi food! I tried their chicken n mutton biryani sautéed well with spices and their lagan nu custard soft and tender with right taste of sweetness...
The raspberry drink wasn't that great since it gave a pungent taste of a cough syrup.... You can try their masala soda...
Staff has 2 old men, and both r equally benevolent and courteous... The place is very much worth the money!
Mindblowing food... been here couple of times. I reuest management to serve more Parsi varities and improve the seating arrengements. But let me tell you no other rests can beat this one. I can eat here all 365 days day & night.

Parsi food has never delighted me to such an extent before. If you're ever at Pali Naka and looking for farcha, patra, custard and/or raspberry soda, this is where you should ideally go. It will satisfy your every need for Parsi food without a doubt.
This joint is bang opposite five spice and is a little difficult to find considering it's a very small place. The seating takes up about a third of the restaurant with kitchen taking up the rest of the space. Keep that in mind if you're planning to visit late evenings or afternoons, or you always have the option of takeout.
It is modestly furnished, but the ambience isn't what you should go here for. We ordered the anda chutney (egg covered with chutney and then potato and fried), chicken sali boti, mutton sali boti and the raspberry soda. Honestly the food is excellent and just to get a taste of the other stuff they dish out I got stuff to go from them the next day.
I was not disappointed - chicken puffs, chicken farcha, patrani machhi, mutton kebab, and a couple of other puffs all were fantastic and exactly what I would expect from a joint specializing in Parsi cuisine. And for dessert we went for the lagan nu custard which was phenomenal.
Definitely visit here for satisfying hunger pangs if you're ever in the area. You will not regret it.
10/10 will recommend
10/10 will revisit
Thumbs up: Parsi non-veg food, value for money, and Pali Naka's location. Thumbs down: Hygiene, lack of veg options, and rude service to veggies. Tip: Try the Sali boti or dhansak. Don't expect much in terms of ambience and you'll be fine.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Mickey's place is loved by many people for their Parsi fare... I love it as well, but surprisingly for some of their other offerings which are usually treated like the kid that goes home with a prize for 'best behaved student'
In the chaos that is Pali Naka, this has always been my go-to place for a decent grilled sandwich... The ham & cheese in particular is a no fuss tasty snack as it should be. Also been fond of their pepper chicken sandwich.
The other stuff that I like from here that others may have not cared about includes the chicken tikka roll (ask them to grill it). And would you believe it, they have one of the best chicken patties even though there are so many bakeries across Bandra, reason being you can enjoy chunks of meat instead of the usual sloppy paste.
Among the stuff they are known for, used to enjoy their Dhansak until Cheron topped it with a better alternative. Chicken farcha is also reliably good. Not a fan of their cutlets or cocktail kebabs. Patra nu macchi is decent but not on the same lines as wedding caterers.
They lost half a rating point for some lopsided pricing. The Frankie here costs much more than the one on Hill road, fries shouldn't be priced this high for that quantity.
So here I was in between lunch time and way ahead of breakfast and bloody hungry, since I was near Pali naka and had not ever stepped into this place before I just went ahead with my gut feeling thinking its a nice quaint place to have food, especially since it's owned by a Parsi I knew the I omelette would be good.
So ordered a Omlette Sandwich not toasted, it took around 7-8min for it to come and yes it was hot and nicely made, couldn't resist so had to order for Chutney cheese sandwich which was also nice, the green chutney was very different and nice.
Guys I didn't try but should try the Paneer Akori and apparently the Dhansak is also kick ass.
Excellent food and authentic parsi bhonu. Well priced.. I would prefer to order at home and enjoy the food as the place has limited sitting option. The salli boti and dhanshak were highlight, not to kiss the custard to top. A must visit
One of my fave places that I used to recall fondly even after I no longer lived in b'bay. So when I moved back, this was one of the 1st places that I headed to. Love the chicken cutlets, the chicken tikka pulao and the mutton sali boti. I also like the mutton dhansak but it is little too spicy for me for a regular meal. So I order that only if I am in the mood for something extra spicy. Gregory (the guy at the counter in a french beard) has been around for the last 10 years (which as long as I've been going to Ashmick's) and can always be relied on for great service and a good suggestion if you are wondering about the day's specials. Oh - and almost forgot to mention the laganu custard that I love. Back in 2005 they also used to do a wonderful apple pie that they (sadly enough) don't offer anymore.
One of the long standing Parsi restaurants in Bandra.. The Patrani Macchi is an absolute must have here.. I love ordering from here.. The service is quick and well packed..
The only put off about this place is the rodent which kept showing up its ugly head while we tucked into our amazingly super chicken dhansak, spicy but perfectly cooked kheema per edu and the lovely mutton potato chops transported me back to lovely childhood memories of helping my mom make them. A definite must try place, the ambiance isn't anything to write home about but the food makes up for everything else. A takeaway or home delivery would be a perfect idea.
Let me start by saying I LOVE PARSI FOOD. And this is just amazing: food is incredible , very reasonably priced and quick service for a quick bite!!
Ordered mutton puffs, chicken dhansak, kheema-par-edu, mutton cutlets and how can I miss this Lagan-Nu custard!!
Try it to believe it.

With Navroz round the corner and having refused a couple of invites for Parsi dinners, I was craving to get a taste of Parsi food.
South Bombay is where all the best ones are, is what the staple reply to asking around was. I decided to find one out for myself and looked up parsi eating joints in Bandra. Since it was going to be the initiation for both of us, we decided to stick to light bites and see how it worked for us. This is how we chose between Ashmick’s Snack shack and Jumjojee. that and the chutney potato chops which just called to us.
We placed an order via an app and were rewarded by the on time delivery and an extra discount.
The food comprised of Paneer ni akoori, Veg puff and the chutney potato chops. The packaging was not much to talk about but kept the food covered and warm, which is all that really matters.
The Paneer ni akoori was a regularly spicy, slightly sweet, parsi version of a paneer bhurjee. Since we ordered through the app, we did not get to place an order for pavs, neither did they come with the dish. Luckily we had some with us and a proper meal was made.
Veg puffs were nice and flaky. Had not been heated too many times and seemed fresh.
Now to the darling little chutney potato chops. These are our favourites at Ashmick’s from now on. Perfectly golden potatoes encasing the sweet and hot green chutney take something so humble to another level. Our only regret was not getting two of these, or more.
This place has started us off well on our journey to the delights of Parsi food and we shall always keep a special place in our hearts for it.
My experience here has been very good... Be it eating their Salli per eedu (Poached Egg on Potato Salli) or Be it Kheema Per Eedu (Poached Egg on Mutton Kheema)... Or Be it Ashmick's Special Burger... Or Ham and Cheese Burger or Omelette Sandwich... I love everything here...
Amazing Parsi food and value for money too. MUST TRY Mutton Dhansag and potato cutlets filled with chiken and mutton kheema..................
I've been frequenting Snack Shack right from my school days. There are Very few Parsi food options in the suburbs, and that's what makes Snack Shack stand out. A small no frills eatery, they have their specials like Dhansak and berry pulao only on specific days of the week, which I think is really unfortunate.
Nevertheless, their food is delicious on the whole, barring any comparison to the Parsi restaurants in south Mumbai that offer far more authentic cuisine. You wont be disappointed with their kebabs and cutlets. I particularly love their sweet spicy sali chicken served with pav on the side. Or else get their Mutton Boti Burger which is an interesting fusion dish of the mutton boti gravy packed in a burger bun. Wash it down with good ol' Raspberry to make a meal that won't pinch your pocket.
Come here for comfort food and parsee specials.
The ambience is nothing to write about but the food is.
Choose from parsee traditional favourites like Akuri, Mutton Sali boti, Dhansak, Patra ni macchi, Kheema par edu (mince with an egg on top) drink the old time Rogers soft drinks like Raspberry, Ginger ale, Ice cream soda or simply go for their sandwiches.
The ashmicks non veg club sandwich comes loaded with ham, chicken, egg and cheese.
Pocket friendly and quick, its perfect for a meal on the go or a tea time snack.
Good parsi food is not a common cuisine. At Ashmick you get just that.
Ashmick is located at Pali Naka, Bandra.
Mutton Pulav dal, Chicken farcha is highly recommended.

Aahmick's snack shack is one of my haven when I'm starving at work. It's a tiny little arrangement which also has a Tibb's Frankie outlet. I absolutely lust after the Chicken Cheese Frankie which is the most delicious and unhealthy things :D
I've tried Lagan nu custard but it was completely different from the one I tried at Jimmy Boy as this one was very similar to caramel custard. So, I'm officially confused about the original.
Do try the Mutton Berry Pulao as that is pretty yummy however it's only served on Thursdays. The berry still remains a mystery but it blends beautifully with the mutton and rice. The mutton is very tender which is one hell of a task so kudos for that!
Quaint little place amidst chaos at Pali market.. Serves some authentic Parsi food at fantastic prices.. Recommend strongly the kid ghost.. Succulent mutton blocks in a lovely white gravy.. Other favourites here include the Kheema with eedu (egg) and a decent version of the chicken farcha.. The chicken dhansak is very basic but with brown rice hits the right spots.. Eat in if brave.. More useful for takeaway and delivery!
Deserves a 4.5.. but its getting a 4 from me cause of the seating issue. All in all a great place to fill up on yummy parsi bhonu. Their chicken farcha's are a must try and makes a great afternoon snack along with the yummy chicken pattice.
Am a huge fan of their Mutton Dhansak, Lagan nu custard and Salli Boti. the place is a little small, so we usually order home delivery.
The best place to get Tibbs Frankies as well!

It was Navroze and we wanted to eat Parsi food. Problem was, we would be in Bandra on Saturday, with no chance whatsoever, to go to city for the Jimmy Boy or Britannia or even Paradise. And the other problem was, we didn’t know of any Parsi joint in Bandra, other than Jumjoji. Sought the help of Mumbai Twitterati, and sure enough! Soon got two names – Snack Shack in Pali Hill and RTI near Bandra Station. Pali Hill would be close and so settled for Snack Shack.
Twitterati also advised us to opt for a takeaway, since, they said, they place is woefully small for a meal there. We took their advise, called up the joint at 10 on Saturday morning and asked for the day’s special. Pat came the reply – Mutton Berry Pulao, Patrani Macchi. We placed a request for them as well as Sali Boti and Mutton Kheema. The Mutton Berry Pulao, other than lacking slightly in salt, was just perfect with the succulent pieces of mutton, potato and boiled egg. Just the right flavor and that tanginess brought in by those lovely berries. The Patrani Macchi, for Rs 450 was the only expensive item in the lot. The Pomfret was decent-sized and was mild in taste. Sali Boti came with 8 rotis and was tasty too, though a little high on the oil. So was the Mutton Kheema. The Pulao and Fish, though tasted as though they were homemade. All of these cost us Rs 1350. Not bad, for the entire lot fed 3 adults and one child.
Snack Shack is really a small shack with just 4-5 chairs and two small tables. Hardly a place for a meal. Good for takeaway though. The owner gets slightly hassled when faced with too many deliveries. Like how it was yesterday.
Value for money food. Especially when you consider that they are based out of the heart of Pali Hill in Bandra. And most importantly, food is tasty!
This place serves some of the best, homemade style Parsi food I've had. The curries are spicy, flavoursome and well-balanced. The condiments marry the meat perfectly and leave your mouth watering. My favourites are Akori, Salli Murgi, Chicken Farcha and Lagan Nu Custard. Must visit for all those who enjoy authentic Parsi dishes!
A tiny little shack at Pali Naka junction.. Heard a lot about its Parsi dishes and is the only option available Bandra side, but it's worth it.!! Mutton sali boti and mutton Khema was delicious.. Also try out the ham and cheese grilled sandwich..quiet filling..
Food here gives you the feeling of eating at home. Must try the mutton chops, prawn pulao, salli boti and the caramel custard. I'm not a vegetarian but didn't mind trying the veg dishes out here too!
Chicken tikka frankie and cheesy veg grill sandwich are awesome
It is truly a hidden gem. The service is quick. The staff is warm and friendly. The food is great. It is not very expensive and tastes great!
I had called for Chicken Sali Boti with Pav and Chicken Tikka Roll. The bread is so soft it melts instantly in your mouth. The Sali Boti is tangy tasting and not very spicy. The Sali is crisp and sweet. The Chicken Tikka Roll is my personal favourite. The chutney in the roll is slightly sweet which give the roll a flavour different from the heavily spiced tikka rolls.
I had an amazing experience eating at Ashmick's. Definitely will visit it again!
Can't say that this is the best Parsi food available in the bay. But when jimmy boy and Britannia (of course) seem too far away, when your in bandra, snack shack works out just fine. However I wouldn't sit there, just order in!
Never had tastier parsi food anywhere...i would give give this 5/5 for taste and even though its a small joint, the uncle who runs the place is friendly and caring...quantity of the dishes we ordered were more than enough...
We are really hungry when we reached the place so we ordered Sali Boti and Prawn Curry with an extra helping of grilled pau as well....we cleaned our palette with a special baked custard called Lagan nu Custard....it was tastier than the best custard i have had till date...
We filled ourselves and went back home with smiles across our faces for 550rs flat...quality and affordable food if you can do with the slightly average ambience and less space...
Great food at a nominal price! A small place but the food makes up for it and the owner is friendly too.
Delicious Mutton Sali Boti, we just wish we had ordered more food!
2 of us ordered 1 mutton Sali Boti and extra paos from Ashmick's today, and really liked the food. Im no expert on Parsi cuisine, so I wont comment on the authenticity of it. My only gripe would be the serving size, especially since I asked if it would enough for two people but got a non committal response and hence had to estimate on my own. I guess adding an akuri on the side would have made the meal perfect, I wish i had been told that when I asked!
We will definitely order from here again for tasty and value for money meals.
Very small place but it has lovely food. Must try Mutton Salli Boti, Bhaji ma gosht... Just one thing I miss is Chapatis. You have to had the dishes with Bun.. But when I taste their good I forget that regret even !!
Mouth watering frankie and authentic Parsi snacks
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
The only Parsi joint anywhere in north of town-side i guess , Not too hard to locate as its bang opposite 5 spice at saki naka but too hard to fit in as the place is really cramped with only 12 people accommodation in total and that's it.
We went looking for some parsi and other highly spoken stuff like cutlets and other stuff but it was already off the nest at around 2045 hours . So , we managed to ordered as per their recommendation of Mutton salli boti and White pepper chicken .
I'd say Salli boti is one thing im personally reluctant on having as i somehow don't like the taste it gets like an over load for me but this one was good with nice tangy flavour , The white pepper chicken was also a different bet with nice thick gravy and low spices which was coupled with biryani rice by us as a follow on.
I like the confidence of the owner , He challenged Sassinians Dhansak , I'm sure gonna give him a chance and lets see how it flares in contrast.
The total Wallet Weight Loss (WWL) was 515 which looked a lil on the upside considering the small joint and less quantity but parsi food is around the same prices elsewhere also so can't really complaint.
One of the oldest and authentic places to taste Parsi cusine. Over the years the flavours and the taste remains the same, we have been visiting this place for over 10 years now. You must try the Chicken Dhansak, Chocken Farcha and Sali Boti. The burgers are also tastefully made with amazing patty. You have to try the range of Roger Sodas, Rasberry, Masala and Ginger soda. Also they have Laganu Custard and other options for dessert.
Great quality and quantity food items, tried authentic parsi dishes for the first time like chicken sali boti, which was great choice for chicken gravy dish, tried their chicken cutlet which was just perfect, with their in-house dessert which is Lagan Nu custard, would really recommend their ice cream soda drink which was very refreshing and had a good kick. The ambience is also very good for open dining and service was just amazing, in all great experience, would definitely visit again. ❤️
Best Parsi food in Bandra ... authentic and no nonsense .. u get frankie also.. and raspberry soda .. bang on at pali naka opposite mini punjab .. a must visit for foodie to get nostalgic about real Bombay
Very good place for dining in and home delivery. I have very pleasant experiences with the staff and the food. The chicken puffs need to be had with sauce. The Lagan n custard is well worth a try.
Nice cosy little place, serving genuine popular Parsi cuisine which is quite tasty, wholesome and affordable. Even has the rare Rogers Raspberry soda and Ginger soda served at Parsi weddings.
Icing on the cake was they allowed me to bring my pet dog to the place.
This little place has been around for more than 20 years. Their salli chicken / salli boti (parsi style) & egg chutney chop are always on point. Lagan nu custard also very good. Chicken farcha also very good but personally not a fan of farcha. They also do a decent dhansak with kebabs.
An iconic Bandra institution. Pokey road side eatery serving Parsi food; better for ordering in, unless you prefer the noise and bustle of Pali Naka. Known for their non veg food, mutton Dhansak (served with brown rice), Mutton Salli Boti (served with chapattis), mutton and chicken cutlets are time-tested favourites and highly recommended. also serve veg, mutton and chicken patties and puffs. Used to have Frankie earlier but now that kiosk has shut down.
Very good snacks and Parsi food
Good food but without a decent seating arrangement. Prices are around 25% higher than what they should be considering the standard of their seating area with flies and dug up road.
Good place to have a quite and satisfying meal, chicken farcha is worth trying out.
an excellent discovery... great tasting lip smacking parsi food, tender soft mutton pieces in dhansak , value for money, certainly recommend
The Mutton Dhansak here is sooo good... Miss it... London mein aisa khana nahin milta ... Makes me want to hop on a 10-hour flight back to Bombay... Classic Parsi food
It’s been a long time since I went here... but I miss this place so much... loved the ‘Lagan nu custard’ and the patra ni machi ... and their egg mayo roll was ultimate😘
Great place for a quick bit.
Good parsi food. Cheapest in Bandra. Custard is a delight
You would fall in 💕 with this small cute place
