I was a frequent visitor here in my college days. A pocket friendly restaurant with simple great food.. don’t expect a great ambience here as you will be surely blown by the food served here. If you have ever been to baghdadi in colaba and liked the food there you will surely love this.
Must try is their butter chicken with chapatI as they don’t serve roti, banglorian kabab , hyderbadi chicken, and caramel custard..
Lovely food. Have been there so many times and may have tried almost all the dishes especially the Mughlai dishes and they all are good. Although this place is quiet popular so you might have to wait during rush hours and weekends.
Civil is one of my favourite restaurant, where I love to eat mughlai and authentic non-veg dishes. It's one of the best after bagdadi. I ordered chicken Afghani, chicken kolhapuri, chicken mughlai and roti, they also serve chapatis. The dishes taste amazing and they have a very different kind of flavours together which makes me visit this restaurant again and again.
The Entire Hostel Life near CST of 4 years we ate at this place and never got bored. Even after 5 years when we catch up, no matter how much money we have we still sit at this restaurant. Ambience doesn't matter. The food is quite good and the only place nearby that serves Wheat Chapati. Chicken Tawa, Chicken Roghan Josh, Chicken Pulav, Caramel Custard is among my favourites.
Located in a corner in CST area . This restuarant doesn't really have the charming looks or would be preferred by people seeing the place. Visited this place with 5 of
My friends .
We had ordered
1. Dabba gosh - 5/5😍.
2. Chicken biryani
3.custard caramel
Total bill -600-700 Rs.
This is good place to visit if you are looking to eat tasty food and on a budget .
I have no pictures of food at this restaurant but
this restaurant has been my go to place whenever I was close to Crawford market. It's been open since a long time and my favorites have been ginger lemon juice and caramel custard.
The food is decently charged and the portion is enough for one.
Must try:
Kheema fry
Dal fry
Ginger Lemon
Caramel custard
All the other dishes are equally nice.
Entered the restaurant to have some snacks during the late evening hours, ended up with a sumptious late dinner with a plate of Mutton Arabi Biryani. It was delicious, enjoyed every bit of it. A must visit if you're around Crawford, on a budget and craving for Mughlai. You won't regret gobbling biryani at 6pm if you step in, here!
This place serves awesome biryani with the just perfect portion. The caramel custard is heavenly. Must visit if you are in JJ school because their canteen just suck😛.
If you are near Crawford market and want to have lip smacking non veg food then this is the place you need to visit.
Small old place, shabby interior, not so courteous staff but always bustling with people and serving YUMMMMM food.
Dishes to try
Afghani Chicken which is the best selling dish they have.
Big soft delicious wheat paratha.
Chicken dum biryani which probably is not the best biryani but certainly having all ingredients to make it a decent dish.
Last but the best is CARAMEL CUSTARD. This is the best custard I have ever eaten. Soft, delicious and just melts in your mouth.
I can visit again n again to just have custard at their place.
Its really close to Crawford market and after loads of shopping we were tempted to eat something sweet and relax and have a cup of tea. Saw this board from outside that they selling fresh caramel custard and that drew us in. We ordered for the worlds most perfect caramel custard. Its simply the best I've ever had, soft, cold and not too sweet. Later ordered for Masala tea. Very well made and enjoyed every sip. I would love to visit this place and eat a meal here. They have daily specials and when we visited the daily special was Mutton Dum Biryani. A simple place, not fancy and done up, but foodies go for the food , right !!!

I have been going to this restaurant now for last 10 years. This is a no non-sense place. You go in have your food and leave. But... but... but.. wait... Its the food which matters here. This place serves mostly to the students, office-goers and shoppers in the Crawford market area. For non-veg lovers who want a budget restaurant, this is the best place near Crawford Market. The Chicken Reshmi, Chicken Tawa and Chicken Afghani are great and they taste hasn't changed since the last decade. Biryanis are a perfect combination of rice and chicken, especially Chicken Taloja and Chicken Arbi Biryani. Never leave this place without having their Caramel Custard. It is the best Caramel Custard in this area. The service is prompt and polite. I have never found this place unhygienic. Be assured you will be served well. Any time you want to have good food on a limited budget and worry about hygiene, this is the place to be in Fort. Not one person that I recommended this place has given me a bad review. Cheers! PS: Do ask for the days special.
A very cheap eatery in the city , few mins walk from CST railway station . Don't expect a fine environment or great service . It's a place one should go only for food .
We ordered Butter Chicken , Afghani Chicken , Dal Fry and all of these were tasty and all of us loved it. The biryani disappointed us . It wasn't a biryani at all . Was just some overcooked heap of rice comprising of an extra oily chicken ( or Boti as they say ) .
The place is very cheap .
Pocket pinch for 2 would be around 400 bucks .
This place is located at a walkable distance from CST station opp JJ school of Arts. By looking at the place no one can imagine that it serves pleasant-tasting food at a relatively cheaper rate.
It may not be one of the renowned restaurants in the city but yes once you visit this place, you will definitely come back.
Chicken Taloja, Chicken Tawa, Dal Gosht, Butter Paratha and Caramel custard are a must try. Butter Paratha and Chapati are always served fresh.
Its ambience is more like an Irani cafe i.e decent. The service is really good.
I will recommend this place to all those who crave for tasty food, ambience being ignored.
Amazing hidden gem...pick any item of their menu nd it's bound to be yum. Chicken taloja nd taloja biryani r just too good. Must try nd with a high repeat value.
One of the hidden gem. pocket friendly, stomach friendly. Exceeding your expectations in all aspects of you are not in to lavish and elite category.. must visit
Good food! Went here for breakfast & ended up having mutton kheema paav & Anda Bhurji! Quantity of kheema was very less though! But tasty for sure! :) reasonable place... Worth a visit.
Every food here is tasty, the best is chicken kolhapuri, I loved ginger lemon syrup and caramel pudding regular visitor whenever in Mumbai..

Civil restraunt , one of the oldest restaurants of Mumbai located just besides Zaffran near Crawford market with a small yet delicious menu.
Started with
Chicken Moghlai:- A yummy Chicken dish mixed with egg with perfect blend of spices. Recommended.
Chicken Afghani :- Thick gravy with Boneless chicken pieces topped with an Omlette on top. A bit bland in taste though.
Chapati :- As you don't have option of having Nan, Kulcha or Roti with Chicken dishes. The only options available are Roti and Paratha (with or without Butter)
Chicken Taloja Biriyani :- A huge bowl of Biriyani which is different than other Biriyani. Pieces of chicken are dipped in Rawa and fried before they are put onto the Biriyani Rice. Also the rice has a perfect masala which is properly cooked , a bit tangy and not so spicy.
P.S :- A very light on pocket outlet. Not recommended to take your vehicle as it's a very busy road because of market area. The service is good as all the waiters will explain you the difference between the dishes calmly although having very busy hours as the place is packed most of the time.
Food :- 4/5
Service :- 5/5
Ambience :- 3/5
Overall :- 4/5
Civil Restaurant is amongst the very old restaurant setups in that area around mumbai CST. It's easier to find as it's next to famous zaffran in crawford market.
It's a ver simple restaurant clean to a proper standard.
Serves really good food with varieties, I was the only one who wanted to dine so couldn't make the most of the visit but as per recommendations I ordered for Civil Special Chicken which was in Red thick gravy with 2 boiled eggs cut in 4 pieces as garnish. The grave was beautifully made and flavorful. I ordered one butter paratha which was really soft and followed it by 2 chapatis.
Thier Afghani chicken, butter chicken, chicken rashida and chicken white gravy are recommended by people.
You can complete the meal with caramel custard.
Overall a great experience and looking forward to try other dishes too!!Vinay Bathija Hiten Haryani
This place is a super VFM option. If you are a bit tight on the budget and still want to gorge on some wonderful mughlai food then this place is a must visit. This is a very old place and is packed most of the times.
The ambience is very old world with the high ceiling giving a very old world yet rustic feel to the place. The service is fast and the food is served piping hot.
I tried the civil special chicken and thier famed parathas to go with it. The gravy was the usual tomato onion based with all types of masalas thrown in with boiled eggs on top for garnish. The paratha made of wheat was quite thick but was not hard and was a delight. The chapatis were fresh and soft too.
Dont forget to order the wonderful caramel custard. Served quite chilled its best to wait for some time before consuming it to get a feel of that excellent soft yet fluffy caramelised taste to linger in the mouth. Easily among the best caramel custards in town
It's one of those places you'd visit just for the food. This restaurant serves the best gravies I have ever had. My favorites are the Butter Chicken, Chicken Afghani and the Chicken Sandwich. The Chicken Biryani I ordered during my previous visit was disappointing, and is honestly something to avoid. The food is inexpensive. The service is prompt and the service staff are courteous.
A soul satisfying lunch at one of the oldest restaurant in CST. Wanted to have a simple lunch so went to this simple restaurant.
The specials list had Dal Gosht on the board. Didn't wanted to have it so ordered CHICKEN RASHIDA. This dish comes in with 2 pcs of chicken and med spicy gravy. Its garnished with grated boiled egg which looks like cheese.
There's always a confusion whether to order a roti or Naan or kulcha to accompany your chicken dish. Here, there's no confusion as they only serve hot chapatis which are light in your stomach.
Also ordered one Jeera Rice which is tossed in ghee n cumin seeds. The flavor is mind blowing. Must order.
Not a fancy place but the food is extremely delicious.. tried butter chicken and chicken Afghani chicken with butter paratha it was fresh and the preparation was extremely nice.. and ended my meal caramel custard which is a must try at civil.
Disclaimer Alert😎
A MUST TRY FOR ALL THE FOODIES OUT THERE IN MUMBAI 😌
So basically I had been to cst side many times but never heard of this place and last year only my brother suggested regarding this place.
So we went out there and after that its been number out of times i had been to this place.
Now coming to the point , CIVIL Serves you one of the best white gravy base boneless chicken ; it is just superb🤗😋
White boneless chicken gravy is the must try.
Apart from this they serves other chicken dish variety which are also very good.
For biryani i'll give rating of 3.5/5
Ambience of the hotel is very simple.
Staff is very friendly and they will suggest you if your confused what to eat.
Very pocket friendly hotel.
Pay n park facility is available outside hotel.
Walkable distance from cst station.
Overall i love this place ☺️🤗🍗
The place is decent they serve good food .there is huge varieties in veg as well as non veg . Service was okay. One must try chicken patiyala n chicken kadai . Caremal custards was so fluffy Soft n it was yummy.

Anything can go wrong finding this place- its tagged at a distant locality in fort and I cant even remember the number of times i left my office, trying to look this one up for its famed caramel custard. So to keep things simple - look for crawford market, look for Zaffran - and there you have it - the place next to Zaffran (How sad do I feel about the folks ignored this place while going next door for 'good' mughlai).
Nothing, and I can assure you - NOTHING can go wrong after you enter this place.
Very unassuming, fairly quiet - and not a place to go to on dates(unless your date is as mad about food as you). No maintained, even by its own humble standards - but the food seems be hygienic, the place seems to be clean - and best of all - quick and efficient service.
Coming on to the food - as I said, nothing can be a 'wrong' thing to order on the fairly straightforward menu. Break from office? Chai and sanwhich/bread jam.
Bigger break from office?? Chai and club sandwhich followed by the custard. Try the dal khidchi too - its pretty damn nice!
Want to go home and sleep after this - well you sure have come to the right place!
Their butter chicken is sublime(well, atleast by Mumbai standards). Follow it up with a Dabba Gosht - another maveric of a dish! If you are a rice eater, the Biryani is good(sans the basmati rice), but if ur in for breads, you are in for a treat! Perfectly cooked, generously sized, home-like Prathas dripping with butter.
If you come in a group, the chicken taloja is a must order - sets up the tone for a delicious get together meal :)
Whatever you do, no matter how late you are running - DO NOT MISS THE CARAMEL CUSTARD. Hands down, the best in town!! for those who know the pain of taking the JJ flyover in the evening, I would suggest you rather park your car here - have a nice custard and a tea with your friends and enjoy the time you would have wasted in traffic.
Extremely economical food - sub 250 for a single person with a mammoth appetite. Just a delight in every which way!
You cannot miss this restaurant if you visit Crawford Market.
I have a Norwegian Cat and a French Maine Coon thus I often go there to buy their goodies ;)
Civil is one of those simple restaurants with great food. The ambience is not good at all but then the food and the pricing compensates for that.
The starters are delicious - Keema Pav, Bheja Fry, Keema Dry, Scrambled Eggs and Chicken Kebab.
The main course gets even better with Mutton Afghani, Dabba Gosht, Mutton Kabuli, Mutton Korma and Prawns Masala. Do try the Rotis since most of the varieties are pretty decent.
They also have the Chicken Club Sandwich and Mutton Chilli Boti which taste DIVINE!
A big meal for four with Cola and Caramel Custard would cost you 700. Absolute value for money.
Highly recommended!
The food was pretty good and way to cheap. I ordered for a chicken thaloja and paratha. The restaurant is pretty cheap and the best part is the caramel custard ,,it's damn too delicious
This place was totally unplanned for, as we had to shop at Crawford and this was the closest place to the car park.There was a long queue before being seated.We asked the accountant if we can place and order until we get some time to be seated, he was so sure that the food will be served in 10 mins after the order is placed. So we waited for few mins the restaurant doesn't have a great ambience.The server took down our order until then we were served with this huge pile of a tissue glass...:)the food was then served one thing is great about this place is that being an Iranian joint the veg and the non veg was uhhhmazing and not forgetting one thing when you end up going to these places do not forget to have the dessert the "Caramel Custard". This place is a good deal to try at least once and yes it's definitely affordable.
Tip: Do not pay attention to the kitchen while having your meal;)

Located just beside zaffran near Crawford this restaurant is plain and simple. The food is tasty. Not for people who freak at sight of spicy food. We had ordered chicken taloja and prawns masala. Both were nice. Chicken taloja is more than sufficient for three good eaters and two heavy eaters. Ginger lemon mix was good to have after the food. Price is too cheap. Overall verdict is huge value for money. Foodies go have a bite!!!

Civil restaurant is located on the way from CST station towards crawford market. Zaffran is located right next to civil restaurant but i had to be here for what i have heard from people and when i entered it looked more like an irani cafe but serves mughlai and north indian food.
The look and ambience is very much like a cafe well lit with as much as 30 people sitting capacity. I had heard a lot of the chicken taloja which is a favourite here for it serves 3 medium foodies. But we were two of us serious hoggers and mind u guys we were full to the brim.
Chicken taloja is basically a mughlai style curry with 6 chicken pieces which have been pre marinated and fried and then later on added to the delicious lip smacking gravy. If they had not overcooked the chicken this place and this dish would be right up there with the best gravy dishes. This dish is massive so avoid if u are 2 people who eat light.
I had it with butter parantha which is the most luxurious option available amongst the indian breads. They also have chappati and normal parantha.
Finally we had The caramel custard which is the gem of civil restaurant. I bet u it looks so salivating and you would drool over the wobble and the colour. I just loved the perfection achieved with the shape the colour the fragrance of caramel and the temperature at which it was served the texture smooth as it can get and the taste bang on which doesnt go too sweet on the palate but the balance that was achieved is remarkable and appreciable. You can say they serve the best caramel custard and though i was full i had 2 custards in a giffy. It is delicious and i hope they go higher on the charts with the flavour they serve.
Report card :
Taste 4.5/5
Service 4.5/5
Ambience 4/5
Location and hygiene 3/5
VFM 5/5 definitely 440 for 2 full heavy hoggers.
Overall 4.2/5
Will i go back for more? Definitely for the caramel custard if nearby.
Till then peeps;
Khaate raho!!!!
old restau. authentic mughali dishes.solid custurd pudding.and pocket saving.u cant imagine u can eat full of 5 in just 500 witth "ungliya chatate raho ge" feeling. i will clled this restau.twin sis of shaheen in fort.
Was here last nyt wid my cousin....... Must try chicken tolaja and caramel custard......lowest price and delicious food......loved it....!!!
The price you pay for such awesome, sumptuous food is just like charity!
Located very close to the JJ flyover entrance from the VT side, take a left at the junction and locate Zaffran restaurant on your right which is just 2 buildings away.
We were two of us and ordered their signature dish chicken Taloja with prawns fry accompanied with roomali roti. The chicken Taloja is mind blowing with quantity enough to beat a hungry 3. We were just two, and managed to finish the meat but a lot of the gravy was remaining. The taste is very rich, not very spicy but just right. The prawns were simple fried prawns. Just enjoyed the taste as starters. Not to forget the supremely awesome caramel custard! I haven't had anything alike in life ! Definitely leave some space for the caramel custard in the end.
Food 5/5
Service 4/5
Ambiance 3/5
Value 4.5/5
Entered with curiosity but relished the taste. #PrawnsPlainFry #prawnsbiryani were mindblowing. #ChickenTaloja nailed the taste buds. Ultimate #freshlimesoda of my life & perfect #caramelcustard therapy
Civil is the most favorite.. Very frequent visitor.. For those who wanna have cheap, tasty non-veg must strictly visit this place.. It is little small place but non veg is super.. And the custard caramel over here is to die for.. They have the best custard caramel.. And the best part is very cheap and amazing.. You can find my half clg students here ( having🍮) :-D
Amazing taste....should visit the place.....and d caramel custard is too good😍...right besides zaffran that place is a treat to ur taste buds..
Amazing dabba ghoshtand parathas...biryani was okay..have had better....
Zomato map gives wrong location..beware...had to walk extra 2 kms from that location
Only visited this place as zaffran was closed. But so glad we did. The tawa paratha was amazing. Slightly greasy , wonderfully flaky, this made a terrific accompaniment to the brain masala that we had ordered. Another standout dish was the dabba ghosth, a splendidly creamy mutton and egg concoction that went well with both paratha and Biryani.
Finished this with some ginger lemon juice and a lightly sweetened and exquisite caramel custard. A fantastic experience where we last expected one.
Finally full marks to their patience when my little daughter couldn't hold on to a full bladder and let go in the restaurant. They were very understanding about it, when they needn't have been.
Just pointed out the last bit to emphasise that the good food served there is backed up by a warm, caring and attentive staff.
Omg civil resto...we were at nariman point and on the map we saw its only 20min by walk so we decided to go by walk..and we were walk-in and walking but there was no site of this resto...then finally at CST station we took a cab and reached the resto..
The funny part is the parking in front of the place..the cars are so closely parked that it's very hard to find a path to go to the restaurant...
Anyways why an I boring u guys
Now coming to the review
Awesome place guys
Food and taste is 5/5
Price is very reasonable
We were like 6 people for nonveg and the taste was awesome
We ordered chichen talongi... Do order it if u guys ever visit...
We were so tired of walking and finding this place but it was worth it...
Must visit
Try the butter paratha and chicken talongi
But I gave 4 star because the biryani was not at all good.. After having such a great meal we didn't enjoy the biryani..DO NOT ORDER BIRYANI
Else it's a treat
Service is quick
I give this restaurant a visit whenever i come to cst with my friends. My favourite here is butter chicken and chapatis, and a nice caramel custard at the end, which is a must have if you visit Civil. You dont have to burn a hole in your pocket to get your tummy full. If you are hungry and running low on you budget, check in here and enjoy the tasty food over here.
This place is heaven for non veg lovers , its got exactly wat v want ,CHEAP ,TASTY & VARIETIES are plenty , caramel custard is somewhat most popular dessert .
The ambience may not be good but... It really doesn't matter.. The food here is soo good that you'll forget everything.. Chicken taloja was very good.. Not to mention, the famous caremel custard... Just the best
It's worth every penny you pay! We went there for lunch at 3.30pm and still we had to wait . The mess like ambience is not good , but the tasty food provided overpoweres all the cons. Chicken Taloja is excellent as well as the Chicken Rashida. Biryani was not good instead I suggest to order Dal Tadka or Dal gosht and Jeera Rice. The Caramel Custard is too good.. It just melts in your mouth!
Yes this place in crawford market i will never forget, We friends visited this place to eat keema pav when we were in college, very pocket friendly and ordinary place, but the waiters here give you good service, butter chicken, arbi biryani are great, and don't forget to taste thier famous caramel custard it is the best of all, let this place be as it is we have left our memories here, keep going
Craving for a custard ..pop into this restro and have this amazing melting custard.. other items r good too.but custard is a must visit for
Pocket friendly place for non veg. It looks like any other average/ below average place. Not really fancy. It is not for ambiance or lighting. This is the place for just having food. Well the food is good. I like tawa chicken and afghani too. But to the health freaks, they put a lot of oil in every dish. So I don't think this is an ideal place for you.
It is situated on the busy street near crawford, hence no harm stopping by for a meal when you are in a rush. Very ordinary kind of place to eat with decent service.
This place doesn't need introduction but still I will sum it up with
"A simple restaurant with simple ambience serving the best and tasty food at affordable prices"
If you are at CST for a meeting or shopping please drop here.
They serve both veg/non-veg
Highlights:
Butter Chicken
Chicken Taloja
Chicken Afghani
Arbi Biryani
Caramel Custard (Must)
and much more...
Im not much of a tea fan but when I go to civil.. Tea is a must der no matter wat time it is
The food u get here is tasty with reasonable rates.. Not much coloured yet yummy..
The caramel custard ???? they serve just melts in the mouth n u feel like keep on eating it again n again
Its a small place with lots of variety
Great food at reasonable rates!
Have come a lot of time with friends
Love the caramel custard???? ????
A visit is must if you like Mughlai food!
I work at Times of india opposite CST station. This place is near my work.always crowded. I have never tried anything at this place.....EXCEPT ONE thing.....Caramel Custard..... I'm big fan of their caramel custard....they create magic....the custard just melts in your mouth. For just 35 bucks per cup.....I can eat their custard all day. 4.5 rating only for the custard
I visited this place during my visit to Crawford market and my frds just pushed me up to this place and ordered khichda and roti it was not bad than we ordered caramilk custard and i just lover it the 4star are for caramilk custard .. I would advice people to taste it once when ever they visit this place or near by .

Parked outside Zaffran i noticed a small pic of caramel custard on a barely noticeable wall with Civil restaurant painted on the wall. Waiting for my friends who were shopping at Crawford market, something inside me made me lock the car and walk over to civil and ask for a caramel custard parcel so I cud sit in my car and eat it. This rating of 5 is for the best caramel custard I'v ever eaten. I was blown away by the taste never in all the places I'v eaten in Mumbai have I found a better caramel custard. I'm waiting for the next opportunity to go back and eat it again...will also try their food and write abt it.
The above rating of 5 is for their Caramel custard ONLY.
The next visit I realised when I ordered chicken civil special & mutton mughlai that the taste is good however the hygiene in the place is not so great. The person with me happened to notice that the cloth being used to wipe plates was unclean..although I don't have any negative feedback abt the taste of the food I seriously recommend that you take a Caramel custard parcel but don't sit and eat there. My feedback and rating is restricted to only the caramel custard that's undoubtedly the best.
Very good canteen .. Tasty food ..provides Fast service .. Caramel custard after meal is a must .. Really nice and affordable place to eat in Mumbai
Loved the Caramel Custurd. One must try it out. Other items like Alu Palak, Chicken Afghani, Butter Chicken were simply delicious. The biriyani has its own flavour and taste. It's different from Kolkata's biriyani. Prices are reasonable. Recommended.
Delicious caramel custards! Chicken Taloja! Wrap it up with a refreshing wonderful cup of tea!
Memories of my hostel life!

Civil Restaurant or Civil Canteen as some patrons call this place can only be described as a well oiled machine. I am very choosy of my words in a review, and the reason i called Civil a machine is its one of the only places that churns out food with such great consistency that it can only be achieved by a machine.
The food is tasty ... absolutely no doubt about it at all, and you can look at every review below and it will describe each beautiful flavor one can relish here; what I want to mention is the consistency of this truly memorable flavor that the restaurant serve you. There is never a dip in the quality or quantity, or even the service. The service is prompt, helpful and with a smile ..... always!!.
What you will see here is rare , and that is the passion to serve people great food. Such a fantastic yet simple and humble experiance can be felt at few places, one of them is Civil Restaurant.
P.S - One recommendation I have not seen in the other reviews mention below is the Caramel Custard. Its like made in freaking heaven. Light as a feather, you can blow at it and it will wriggle like jelly. Fantastic stuff.
Recently discovered by my friend,when I heard about the place,I was just waiting to go there.This isn't the swanky place unlike it's rating but a homely and authentic place where I had one of the best chicken kheema of my life.Also the prawns were great.Dont miss this place,one of the oldest in Mumbai I guess.I will give this place an undoubtfully 4/5 for food and ambience and 5/5 for the cost.
Civil is a run of the mill kind of eatery located near crawford market next to PK wines. I have frequented this place quite often for lunch as its walking distance from where I work. This place is know for its Moghlai & Chinese food. The look and feel of this eatery is closer to a Irani joint. But let me tell you the food served here is really delicious.
The must try items on the menu are as follows:
1. Chicken Afghani
2. Butter Chicken
3. Chicken Civil Special
4. Mutton Moghlai
5. Dabba Gosht
6. Chicken Tiranga Rice - Rice served with chicken manchurian gravy and decorated in Indian flag colour and can suffice two decent eaters.
7. Caramel Custard
Food is greasy but yummy and is extremely light on your pocket. Biryani served here is decent as well. The focus is to simply serve good food.

I know this is old Restaurant. We have open a new restaurant in Andheri East, Marol...name as
New Airport Restaurant.
Try here..
Feel the Taste of Food
I came across this place while I was at Crawford market for some wholesale shopping. I am glad I was hungry and decided to check out this place. Ordered for a mutton plate and roti. My hunger was satiated but my heart was not. I wanted to have more, that's the brilliance of the food here. Whenever I have good food, I smile. And this place made me grin. I hope I have said it all :-)
This place has a run down Irani Cafe kind of feel to it, but the food is great. Tried their Chole Boti and Dabba Gosht. Both were very good. The pricing is very very modest. Will be back again whenever I am in this part of town.
A haven for carnivores like me! I have tried out every mutton and chicken dish in the menu, and I must say they are all lip-smacking, finger-lickingly superb. After the meal, you can't leave without having the caramel custard - THE BEST caramel custard you can find. (Take my word, I went around scouring all over Fort and Colaba to see if there was any caramel custard that could beat this one, and I did not find any.)
Not much to talk about the ambiance - it can easily go unnoticed, what with the imposing Zaffran next to it. However, do walk in, and prepare to melt into the delectable victuals.
Good food at economical price.
Value for money.
For mutton lovers must try Mutton Pulao.

One of the best place to for the non vegetarians. Value for the food cheap and the taste is amazing.Must try Chicken Afghani and Paani kam Chai.
Value for money and awesome food.
Must visit for the caramel custard they serve. The best in Mumbai. Food is tasty and cheap. This is a small restaurant nearby the zaffran. Went there by recommendation and wasn't disappointed.
The best restaurant I’ve ever visited near Crawford market, Mumbai.
their prawns curry is definitely amazing.. every time we visit this place.. the masala prawn curry is at the top of the list.. earlier there was a dish called ginger prawns.. which was 10/10 in taste.. they have removed it out of the menu. The best next one is the masala prawns.
all the dishes served here are very tasty and amazing..
the chicken dishes are very good..
the restaurant is always full at any time of the day..
Right near the Crawford market a very budget friendly restaurant.. hygienic place and the food is tasty no complaints to be honest. But just that in case if u order Chinese food then it may take longer then normal for the food to arrive..
We were looking for a place to eat when visiting Crawford Market and stumbled upon Ustadi which is just beside the Civil Restaurant. However, we ended up having our lunch at Civil Restaurant and I must say we were delighted that we ended up having our lunch here. Ambience is normal but it's very clean. The best part is the food which was just yummy and very economical. My tummy can't thank you enough. Please do visit if you happen to visit in and around the Crawford Market area.
This is a nice budget place. I liked almost all the chicken dishes. Caramel custard is most try and unique taste of ginger lemon takes it to next level. But don't order a full glass, you may not be able to finish it. 😁. Order special chapati which is only 2 bucks expensive than the normal one. Service is good and is open till 11:30 in the night. Irani tea served is also amazing, must try. In chicken, tawa chicken is best of all.
Civil is one of the classic places of Mumbai. My favourite here is their mutton biryani. Also, they have good mocktails and juices here. Personally I love the fresh lime soda. Even their Chinese dishes are quite good !
Don't miss out on some yummy caramel Custard after your meal!
The place accepts UPI payments, which is a bonus. Located very close to Crawford market. So an ideal place for meals after shopping !
Nice experience. We ordered chicken kadhai and chicken biryani, both dishes are very good in both quality and quantity. Hygiene and cleanliness is also good.
Located outside CSMT station and nearby to the Crawford Market area. Not a fancy restaurant but the food is very tasty and does not burn a big hole in your pocket.
Tried their Tawa Chicken and Afghani Chicken with chapati which were cooked perfectly. Do not miss their caramel custard which is made to perfection.
Love their dal fry and chapatis. Chicken biryani also great. Such friendly owners and waiting staff, my home away from home in Mumbai. I eat there literally everyday. Old school Irani restaurant.
It’s located at in front of Mumbai police commissioner office in Crawford market food was good 😊 prices also reasonable staff behavior is also good I love to eat here .
This place is quite crowded during lunch time. My friend who is a regular at this joint recommended us to try chicken changezi and it was super delicious, highly recommended. This restaurant is quite popular among locals. Their service is fast. Will surely visit again to try out more items.
Its always light on pocket and heavy in the stomach, this restaurant is a definite go to when you are in the area for having a filling indian meal, whether veg or non veg. The place is like a quick service restaurant. The food is fresh, staff is cooperative even for slightly customising your dish. Cant miss the Caramel Custard here.
Excellent tasty food...has only a little stuff but was tasty and service was really really fast...
