A Hidden Gem!!!
Very nice place for a bun-maska and to watch the world go by on the bustling street outside. The owner says its been running for approximately 85 years. Come here early to combine this place with a visit to the opera house for a true Bombay nostalgia experience. Also don't miss the egg preparations.

One chilly winter morning me and my friend had work at Opera House for fixing his Stereo System in his brand new Tata Tigor (nice car btw!) We left from home quite early and were searching for a place to grab some breakfast.

So while parking we stumble upon this cafe that's sort of dull and dinghy. The owner helped us park the car as it was a one way and obviously didn't want our brand new car getting towed.

So we park our car in peace and enter this place that instantly strikes you that this is an Irani cafe similar to the Kayani's or any other town side cafe. BUT WAIT. There was a difference to be spotted here and that's what kept this place apart from the others. This cafe wasn't crowded at all!

This tall man with a Parsi English accent comes to us asking about our needs for breakfast. He immediately orders the waiter for two bun maskas and two cutting chai. Both of the dishes were on point. Even though this wasn't much of a breakfast, it satiated our hunger for the time being.

There was something that attracted me to this cafe and that was it's quietness among the hustle and bustle of the usual town roads. It had all that was needed in a 70 Year Old Irani Cafe. The old architecture, the woody old chairs of the 80's, the marble table and racks of Parle-G! It was perfect. This place wasn't meant for crowd. This place was something that you and your friend would have a need to sit down and just talk about memories. Go down memory lane and nostalgia with all the daily commuters and vehicles passing by the cafe.

The owner was sweet enough and even told us if we ever felt tired we could come and sit and relax at anytime of the day. WHO THE HELL IS SO NICE IN TODAY'S WORLD?
