I am a believer in food fusion. Bombay Canteen brings forward some of the best combinations, which are scintillating for taste buds. Even classical dishes like seekh kebab were very well done. Their strength is in sauces & curry gravies, which are mild, not overwhelming. The ambience of the place is detailed, a bit old school, and comforting overall. Servers were knowledgeable about all fusions and were warm. My only grudge is that lack of fulfilling plates in starters. I hate when I have to order 4 items to feel filled. Would recommend this place for exploring.

Great selection of dishes specifically curated by the chef's by traveling across the country. The small plates that we tried were bursting with flavours. And the drinks were perfect. The only thing lacking was the service which can be improved. The staff was very busy so you had to wait for quiet sometime to actually place an order or request for change of plates.

Good food and amazing vibes. The shrimp, crab and the chicken dishes were all really nice. The staff is so friendly and kind. They gave amazing recommendations and everything was on point. Definitely worth a few more visits.

The food is absolutely phenomenal. Everything on the menu is worth a try. The cocktails too are perfect. Highly recommend. xxxx Updated detailed review February 2024 : After multiple visits to this restaurant I sincerely believe that this is probably one of the best restaurants in Mumbai. On this particular visit we enjoyed their regular fare which had buff tartare with dosa crisps and pork tacos. But items from their winter menu were just as great. the buff marrow and tandoori octopus are to die for. The lamb chops are just as good as I remember from previous visits. the cocktails though this time were all crowd pleasers, they have lost their 'alcohol forward' touch that we always enjoyed. The only drink of the many we tried that held up was the plum manhattan. The service levels are good but not exceptional. All in all, still by far one of the best and highly recommended place.

Omg one of the best meals I’ve EVER HAD! The service and atmosphere are a huge plus too. The flavours were on point with every dish. I was blown away at how delicious this was - thank you so much for this experience!

Review Date 24.12.2023 Really loved the place and the food. Had an amazing lunch and the food was really great. Thanks to the team for accommodating us quickly with minimal waiting. Truly deserved to be among top 5 restaurants in India. Review Date 18.11.2017 Nice place to hangout but you will place only if you are a couple. Male friend is not preferred by them. Kept me and friend waiting for 45 mins but gave seating to couples or families.

Love the ambience, love the service and just the right amount of attention. The food - some of it is let's-not-talk-just-eat delicious. Some of it, though, could be improved. I also do wish the portions were a little larger. The Barley salad is superlative. It's light and fresh on the tongue. As is the chilled seabass sev puri (this one was my favourite out of everything, I think). This was light, fresh, flavourful and different. They didnt have the squid so we missed that, but the Bone Marrow Naan chaap...oh. my. God. Tender and deliciously flavourful. I change my favourite to this one. The Butter Garlic Crab Kulcha that we ate was....ummm...so so. Why? Coz the Kulcha was baked too hard and I could barely taste the crab. We also ate the Prawn Malai Curry Tiffin Box, that comes in a bona-fide tiffin box. Two of us loved it, one of us didn't, so I'll reserve comments on this one except that I really enjoyed the flavours. We ate Begun's baked brie, but I have to confess...it was too sharp for my taste buds. I've had better Baked Brie ... Overall, would I go here again? Absolutely! Should you? For sure!

Heritage charm meets new flavors. It is mostly full, the ambience is lively and fun. Food was good but go for the vibe and experience.

Nice ambience. Good effort at creating interesting new Indian food. Cocktails were interesting too. I think given all this the restaurant is a bit too pricey. More like 3.5 stars.

A very fine twist on Indian classics — every dish was creative and well balanced (often better than their traditional inspirations!) Try the lamb chop starter (delicate meat fried crisp in sweet ghee) and the indulgent crab paratha. Chicken main is a bit too smothered in a uniform heavy gravy. Ob the whole, a nice taste of modern and western-looking Mumbai (and fittingly, at western prices too).

Traveling from LA… eat out and travel frequently…this was an epic meal and a great way to enjoy the diversity of Indian cuisine. It was an eye opening experience…made better by the knowledgeable and passionate service of Swen our server. A highlight of our trip

Go-to place if you fancy a quirky take on delicious Indian food combinations. We tried 9 of the vegetarian appetizers and none of them tasted similar or even close to anything we have had before! Smoked Pumpkin Launji is quite a unique dish. And the Sarson ki Kachori. Actually everything is! :) Nimona Kulcha - Delicious but perhaps would have been better with a little less Stracciatella cheese. For desserts, the Coffee Rasgulla sundae is a must. And the Peanut Butter Jam Kulfi. If you are a foodie, bored of the usual Indian fare - this place is not to be missed!

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Bombay canteen! The food here is really so unique, full of surprises (in a great way) and flavor. Our server Kesri also was so amazing. You could tell he was very knowledgeable about everything and he made the perfect suggestions based on what we were looking for and how hungry we were. I would definitely go back because there's just so much to try on the menu! Drinks were really good too. Overall, fab experience. Ambience was really nice too. When the server suggested the coffee rasgulla sundae for dessert I was really not interested. but it was my friend's birthday and they served that dessert for her and wow was I wrong...we devoured it because we hadn't tasted anything like it and it was just perfect in every way. Definitely recommend going here!!! Loved the server's t shirts :)

Delicious food. Friendly staff. They innovate / try something new with each dish. The menu is just the right size because with these dishes we ordered, we felt like we overall got a good idea of what they offer. We only ordered vegetarian food but didn’t feel like the options were less or we missed out on too much. The dishes are: Summer Greens Patta Chaat, Begum’s Baked Brie, Corn Locho, Baingan Bharta Kulcha, Gutti Aloo Roast with pav, and Coffee Rasgulla Sundae. Corn Locho is the most unique and amazing thing I’ve ever tasted. The portions are small for the price but it works out in the sense of getting to try more dishes. They have a nice array of cocktails and will make you something based on what you like. Their guava infused gin is also a must try. Have visited The Bombay Canteen twice now and will do so every time I come to Mumbai.

Nice ambiance. They have freak cocktails. Their winter special menu with the carrots was something I didn’t expect! I never thought I’d like carrots so much!! It’s definitely worth a try and I can promise you, you won’t be disappointed. The mutton was also very soft and tender and delicious. The Chile mulch’s was a bit mediocre compared to the other food. But overall this place is a must go. The waiters are nice and provide good recommendations basis your liking. They also explain to you everything about the food once it arrives which kinda gives it an interesting twist.

Incredible. Lovely take on regional cuisine. Loved everything we ordered. It was surprisingly filling too. Baked brie was gorgeous. Smoked pumpkin launji, chettinad prawns were both great. Will be back to try other things on the menu!

Phenomenal experience! The lamb chops was simply fantastic. The other items worth trying were the fried dosa and the dal makhni! For drinks we had makers mark old fashioned.. Ameya, was the person who served us and his sevice and knowledge of the menu was simply great. All kn all - a must visit place

Nice ambiance and Service Food is good and taste is seriously different. Crowd is young and elderly as well. Situated in very heart of the area and very next toLodha's world One towers

TL;DR Cozy atmosphere, delicious modern take on Indian food, drinks that pack a punch, and friendly service staff. A must try place! We went in for a lazy Sunday lunch. The seating and ambience was so cozy that we felt comfortable instantly. The staff was courteous and friendly. They made great recommendations for food and drinks. We started off with Corona beer and Negroni, which was deliciously bitter and packed a punch. We dug into a few small plates. Chettinad Prawns Ali-Yolio with Pao - This was absolutely delicious. Although it looks spicy it isn’t and is full of flavours of ginger, garlic and tamarind. The pav made a perfect accompaniment to dip it into the prawn oil and carry all that flavour. Tandoori Marrow Makhani - You rarely find this on the menu and we usually try to get every bit out of the nalli when we have mutton. But here, it is presented well for you to easily scoop out the butter of gods and spread it on a toast to savour. It comes with a mint chutney and the makhani sauce, but frankly you don’t need any of that to mask the flavour of the marrow. Butter Garlic Crab Kulcha - It’s a crunchy kulcha topped with soft scrambled eggs with texture of a cloud and Narthangai (citron) zest. It’s creamy and the sweet crab flavour comes through. The pickled onions bring freshness and adds contrast. Beef Pastrami Sandwich - This is the only place I could find a good beef pastrami sandwich after New York City. The meat is tender and falls apart easily, perfectly blushing pink in the middle. The Indian touch of kasundi in place of mustard sauce is great. The bread is nicely golden toasted with the Maillard reaction. My partner found it to be a little dry but that’s pastrami sandwich! It comes with a side of steak juice as a dip which can help with the dryness and add flavour. With all those amazing small plates, we had space only for two mains. Pork & Bacon Rista with Steamed Rice - A Kashmiri dish traditionally made of mutton or lamb meatballs in a thin red non spicy curry. The meatballs have spongy texture as the meat is finely pounded to a paste to form the meatballs. It went well with steamed rice with mild flavour of whole spices. Shetty Hotel Style Fish Pullimunchi with Malabar Paratha - A delicate fish in tangy tamarind-chilli masala, baby methi & topped with radish salad. We were recommended to get neer dosa with it but we went for Malabar paratha. It was lip-smacking good! Even after eating all this we could find some place to a have a dessert. Coffee Rasgulla Sundae - Indian tiramisu! Refreshingly cool, not too sweet and coffee to start your sobremesa. :) This whole meal costed us Rs. 7594 including taxes and service charge and it is well worth it! I hate the fact that I didn’t visit this place when I was staying in Mumbai. But now, whenever I am Mumbai I will make sure to get a meal here. :)

Super amazing place. We have never such delicious food ever, the taste which we can’t forget. Creativity at a different level. From overall set up to staff, the place just us mesmerised. Mumbai trip is incomplete without a visit to this place.

Sehr cooler Ort. Super Beratung beim Essen, manchmal ein wenig mehr Transparenz, was man bestellt. Ansonsten echt angenehm. Gerne wieder

This is another certified "happy place" :-) The food is fantastic, a modern play on local, seasonal ingredients done in a way that's still extremely approachable. The service deserves a mention, it's absolutely perfect and the drinks will never let you down.

Loved the vibe! The guy who was taking care of us/our table was amazing, he nicely explained about the past and present dishes/cocktails served at the restaurant. Food was good and i would suggest you opt for chefs tasting bcoz it gives you opportunity to taste everything available with them

I love the food usually. Especially when they are creating original combinations. Been going there since 2016. Last time I went...The corn khichhu was brilliant as was the brief cheese platter. Did not enjoy the kulcha and chaat dishes. Delhi streets do it better. But I love the place still..what the do well, they do reaalllllly well.

Loving this place. Lively, wonderful ambience, friendly staff...call them 'Bro'. 😄. Ready to give u the best recommendations and service. Do try out their Chettinad prawns with pav and Chicken with ghee dosa or neer dosa. Relished every bit. Menu was limited due to pandemic. Price on a lil higher side but worth it...you wont regret it.😋

A really good place and enjoyed the food alot, the only thing is they don't have a wide variety of foods but with the foods they have it is amazing the location is also on the main street so it's good and the interior is also very beautiful

The best Restro Bar in India with amazing innovative cocktail and Indian food with some fusion from our chefs

Excellent food quality and great ambience. Will recommended to manage the sitting little well. Will recommended everyone and must visit place

Super quirky place. A true reflection of the Indian kaleidoscope. Food is top notch takes one on a trip of India and it's culinary richness. Eggs kejriwal to the kerala chicken lollipop. 🤘✌👍👌

Located in the Kamala mills compound, Bombay Canteen is a gorgeous tribute to Mumbai's art deco. They serve food which is otherwise served in canteens, with a gastronomic twist. The dishes are delectable and the interiors give you the feel of being in a canteen. Definitely go for it.

Don’t be fool by seeing pictures and good reviews.went for lunch with lots of expectations but got a big zero.super small menu with super high price.if you have lot of money and you don’t find where to spend then you must visit.poor front desk management they create lots of confusion regarding my reservation which I made prior .

Excellent food! Just Excellent! Won't disappoint you even a bit. No music at all, so the ambience is the chit-chat from other tables. Cocktails are totally avoidable. So are the mocktails. Lacks on the alcohol and the taste part. Food is Godly but tad expensive.

Bombay Canteen never disappoints. You don't even need friends to go here. Chances are, if you're going again, you're already friends with one of the servers/bartenders. Try their new Schezwan Triple Rice with a sea food twist.

One of life’s best meal. Memorable. Everything was so flavourful and delicious. Unbelievable. Egg Kejriwal, crab kulcha, baked cheese, Malai kofta, Sourdough Naan etc everything tasted so diff from the routine. Mind blowing place. Excellent service

Good food. Really good service. The menu is quite interesting and has quite unique options, found the drinks menu a bit lacking though. The ambience has a chill vibe and is quite ok. Bit on the expensive side, but the food is worth it 💯

You want to visit one good restaurant in Mumbai, this is the place... Everything is just perfect. The theme, The food, The fusion of taste, the creativity, the service, Everything.

If you’re around Kamala Mills then BC is a place to bei. They have an amazing staff and come up with brunches and new items in the menu almost every month. They also give back to the farmer community and are passionate about the food they serve. They have lip smacking unique dishes on the menu which are a must try.

How does one even begin to describe an experience called The Bombay Canteen? Right from the venue to the food and wine to the service with a smile, all of it adds to create total experience. Its a place for people who really want to enjoy a good meal rather than just grab a bite and run. The staff treats you like a guest and recommends and then paces out the courses just like the way it should be. Look forward to my next trip.

All time favorite and one of the best places in Mumbai. They have an amazing staff and come up with brunches and new items in the menu almost every month. They also give back to the farmer community and are passionate about the food they serve. They have lip smacking unique dishes on the menu which are a must try.

It's a pleasant place. Gives more options for non veg as compared to veg. The service is good and the veg food is delicious. Portions are not so big. The place has very big tables that can accommodate a big crowd. It does not have music at least untill late afternoon. Service is good and the place is clean.

Excellent food with friendly hosts. Really enjoyed the meal here. A must eat if visiting Bombay or living there! You wont be disappointed. Staff is very friendly and give good recommendations.

This place is awesome. Indian with a twist. We had the special chefs menu which takes you through al the specials. Cocktails were amazing too. Our waiter Raj completed the evening. Splendid job and Indian hospitality at its best. Also a cool place to hang out.

I had this place on my must visit list from 2017 but could never go. January 2020 is the first time I get to visit and the experience left me a little aloof. From what I gathered by reading through reviews my expectations were possibly placed differently. The food presentation was top notch but the quantity left a little more to be desired. I understand the nuances of fine dining but I believe that portion sizes shouldn’t be abysmally small for the price any place charges. We were a group of four and all four of us felt the same and therefore we made a quick exit. Had a couple of chhotas (their version of bar bites) then an appetizer or two and a couple of drinks. Ambience and presentation were definitely beyond comparison but as I said earlier the portion size and relative pricing leave a significant room for improvement.

WOW! What an awesome place 'The Bombay Canteen' really was...we truly had an amazing time engaging with the staff and had some great food items. The ambience, food quality, staff courteousness & overall experience was just simply great! Watch through the Kodak moments captured during the visit to get the flavour...

Good place to wind down in the evening! Awesome selection of drinks and cocktails available. The food options for both small bites or large portions are numerous! I had vegetarian but my dear friends had non-veg, the best one was the super succulent mutton chops I guess. Must go to place!!

Delicious Indian food at an affordable price!

This restaurant is a must for anyone who wants to experience the best of modern Indian food in a stylish environment. We enjoyed the “Feed Me” Menu - each of the 12 small plates was an explosion of flavours which complimented each other. Service by Rajesh was excellent.

Awesome!

the food here is divine

Probably the finest modern expressions of Indian cuisine, RIP Chef Floyd this legacy of yours will live on.

best and cheap for a quick bite

Food is great, concept dining

Well we can never have enough of this place right. In my opinion it should be declared as foodie heritage for all food lovers out there. :D A must visit.

food isnt that good for the price.

They know their food and know it well! Amazing variations of Indian cuisine with a twist you will probably not find elsewhere. I want to visit this every week and try the entire menu out :)

Humongous

Absolutely love the vibe of this place. The concept of modern Indian is something I really have grown to like. Do try out the chicken ghee roast on toast and the tacos! The drinks are absolutely fantastic as well! Their gin collection is worth trying, the bar tenders have great knowledge about these. So remember to ask for recommendations!

Good food

Wanna taste different beers...the best place you can think of!!

Chef is a genius

Amazing restaurant!

The Bombay Canteen (TBC) is the best place in the city to sink your teeth into India’s vast regional cuisine. Helmed by Chef Cardoz Floyd and Chef Thomas Zacharias, the restaurant mingles tradition and innovation to dish out contemporary adaptations of regional favourites. It comes as no surprise then, that Chang goes into the TBC kitchen where Floyd and Zacharias rustle up Bhutte Ki Khees (corn fritters with moras bhaji salad) — a modern rendition of Indore’s traditional street food. Zacharias, whose culinary experiments began in his grandmother’s kitchen in Kerala, pays homage to her with Ammini’s Duck Curry (tender duck cooked in a peppery coconut curry), the flavours of which give Chang a taste of Kerala-style home cooking. He wipes it clean with lacy egg appams.

This place remembers about old banglow in mumbai. Food is fabulous.

Excellent place

Food is good, great service,tried cocktail from there promenade menu named fighting spirit..quite innovative and creative

Mouth watering cuisine. Excellent fusion.

Kejriwal toast Lovely love it hotel nice room good staff hotel awesome

Lovely place to hangout and to have delicious food

Nice ambience. Great good. Pleasing staff. Thumbs up!

Unique made to order receipe.. good place for friends and family.

Fab food, décor and service

I visited Bombay Canteen with high expectations given how my sister was waxing lyrical about their food and service. It didn’t disappoint. The starters were excellent, well presented and delicious. I loved their spin on classic dishes and the unique flavors that each one had. Great place to bring friends or family!

good one

Not much choice for vegetarians having no onion garlic. Otherwise decent happening place

Bombay Canteen defies logic. It's food is average. It's retro decor and quirky Irani cafe interiors are far too commonplace. Yet it seems to reign high and mighty on rankings of amazing restaurants. I have visited the place on multiple occasions during the last few years - office drinks, catch up with friends, Sunday brunch. I think I've tried most formats. On no occasion have I been so impressed as to justify the rave reviews doled out by many a gourmet. I think it has something to do with the marketing and PR machinery, the "American way" as it were. In summary, food is ok. Better places a stone's throw away. Dikhawe par mat jao, apni akal lagao.

Nice, Fancy, expensive, delectable range, sweet staff and definitely great music. Bombay canteen is a must visit in Mumbai that way. If only the had a brewery too :D

Wonderful place to dine... Loud rocking music, great eateries from mocktail to fancy Mumbai chats... Super lightning service... Crowded... Full of energy and lively...

Awesome food. Try the latest dish in the menu

The most different & delictable restaurant in Mumbai.

Awesome food and great hospitality

Super food. Courteous service. Great variety. Mumbai Street food with a twist.

We tried this place out for lunch, as i'm clearly not the kind of person to make my dinner plans a week in advance for reservation. We were a bunch of 10 people, so tried pretty much everything on the vegetarian side of the menu. The sangria was good. Ordered the crispy cabbage (Recommend), grilled dhoklas (good, but not the best you can get- take it from a gujju!) and love apple and watermelon salad (ok). The main course items were fantastic. We tried the corn paneer bhurji and allo kaju kofta for main course. Both were excellent and very unique to this place. Khasta rotis was a great option for bread that went very well with the main course. We moved to the much famed chai kulfi and gulba nut. These were a bit disappointing from what we expected. Conceptually they were great, but we now know why rum and gulab jamun, chai and kulfi aren't the best combos. The ambiance is definitely great. A place definitely worth a try.

One of the best places for a meal. Must try is their set menu which is curated by the chef and is different everyday. Around 4-5 starters followed by main course and a desert. The food is great. We tried mocktails and cocktails as well and they were as good as the food. At the end we got a special surprise which a book which is absolutely wonderful! Must visit

Superb take on the best of Indian cuisines. Must go and must try everything.

Good

This is my favorite restaurant in THE ENTIRE WORLD. Everything from their regular menu to their Independence Day Dawaat to their super friendly staff to their Instagram Lives to the ambiance and decor and music and the events they used to put on (I remember one particularly delightful jazz party of sorts back in 2017) to the clever t-shirts worn by the front-of-house is just splendid. Also, I love the Eggs Kejriwal and guava cake. I should stop here or I’ll go on forever.

Very very limited options for veg. Although portions are small but taste is also average and hence it's not worth the price.

The thing about modern India is that it refuses to be put into a box. And that’s the thing about the food at The Bombay Canteen as well. Young and fun, yet rooted in traditions that span the length and breadth of this country, with all its varied topographies and cultures and histories, the Canteen experience is a party as well as a bit of a history lesson. Be it the seasonally changing menu (the Eggs Kejriwal Toast and arbi tuk are perennial favourites, but try the pork seekh kababs and the Canteen haleem this winter) or the cocktail books inspired by Mumbai’s Art Deco architecture and cinematic history, the restaurant is known to change things up. What doesn’t change, though, is the quality of what’s on your plate, and the warmth with which it is presented to you. The service deserves a special shoutout – staff here are warm and friendly, they really know the menu, and they will remember what you liked (and didn’t) the next time you visit. Because you will visit again.

5 stars on every aspect of Bombay Canteen - Food, staff, service, decor and location. The food leaves an awesome lingering taste on your tongue! You struggle to pick which taste you want to save for last! Definately a must visit!

It's been a favourite from day one but the ever evolving menu never fails to disappoint! And the friendly and cheerful staff! And the care and safety they take at time like this is amazing.

Amazing food, truly top notch culinary work. Bombay Canteen keeps changing its menu every few months and every change has been innovative and pleasantly surprising. Service is welcoming and friendly and adds to the experience. A place to go back to again and again!

Amazing dinning experience. Each dish has a distinguished taste! Amazing recommendations by the hosts

Wonderful food, lovely ambience, courteous staff. we tried the A-kela cake, mutton keema and cheese chili toast and all of them tasted great.

One of the best places to dine in Lower Parel, Mumbai. We enjoyed a great dinner and drinks night on Jan 2nd 2021. Noticed orders being served relatively quick. Food - simply great, although menu was limited due to covid, didn't fail to satiate taste buds. Decent selection of drinks available. Maintains good hygiene standard. And, also has valet parking.

Had a fab time here with the team from Dental Concepts for our celebratory meal. They kept bringing out food and the service was excellent. Has a wonderful vibe and ambience in the restaurant. A very trendy Indian with traditional flavours. We ordered so many things. Its similar to Indian tapas and sharing plates. Well worth a visit. I will visit again next time I am in India!

This is my favourite restaurant in Mumbai. The amalgamation of creativity, along with the staff and food never fails to surprise me. This visit was specifically for Strawberries & Cream! 💕

Brilliant food. Innovative and bursting with flavour. Will bring back some memory or the other of your childhood in mumbai.

Awesome food experience

Fantastic food and excellent staff 😊

Limited choices,but quality and taste was good

Food Service was quite late. Can be improved.

Omg i love this cafe so muchh the food is amazing. ❤

It has a home vibe . The homemade food has great inventions. Great for families too.

Very poor service. Food quantity is very less as compared to the price.

Good service, excellent menu and a bartender who knows how to make cocktails

Nice ambience..

Went there after reading about it at various places. The food wasn’t up to the mark. Taste needs a lot of improvement

Very nice food and good service :)

It's good

Excellent food, ambiance, customer service, but quantity of food is less against price..........

Good food

Excellent quality of food..ate minced beef with marrow

Really good place and enjoyed the food...

Food quantity is pathetic. Need to improve on that front

Great experience! Would order again!

Amazing craft beers on the tap. I tried their Weissbier and it is among the best ever I have had anywhwere.

Closed for now. Under Upgrade

Really good and unique food recipes. A bit on the costlier side though. Nice ambience.

Owsam food

Excellent indian food with a twist.

Restaurants & Bar for high profile

Nice food great ambience, should do something for car parking

Unlock the taste bud...must try chicken seekh and kheema with bheja toppings and butter Pav. Also tried paya soup momos and Prawns oil with pav,,, delicious.

Highly overrated, huge place though! Love the ambience and overall decor. However food was okayish

Excellent

Amazing server (Mr. Rajesh) and delicious food. Totally, worth our time! Thanks!

They serve food which is otherwise served in canteens, with a gastronomic twist. The dishes are delectable and the interiors give you the feel of being in a canteen. Definitely go for it.

A spectacular meal of distinct flavours, beautiful presentation ans excellent service.

Good ambience. Sub par food. If you want to have a couple of drinks and hang out with friends it's a decent place. But the food is unbearable.

Tasty food and very friendly service. Valet parking. The lights are too dim. Try the gulab nut.

Awesome place. Try the idli with chicken here.

Food is ok , nothing much here for vegetarians. There are much better choices in Kamala mill over Bombay canteen.

I regularly visit this place for lunch as my workplace is in Kamla Mills complex. I love the food here. It is a bit expensive for a usual lunch with work colleagues but the food is yumm and totally worth it. Post the lockdown when they opened up the restaurant, they had a very limited menu. Which was in a way good. You have limited choices and that helps you decide faster. (Official lunches are time-bound). I recently visited the place again and the menu pretty elaborate. The food was amazing! The service was quick. The staff is friendly and prompt. Here are pictures of my favourite dessert. One is the coffee roshugula combination. The is a rum ball fusion (Christmas special).

Had booked for brunch/lunch as really wanted to have the pastrami sandwich which has been popping up on my IG over the last few weeks. But once we settles the server suggested the non veg and veg course and yes am happy as we decided to go ahead with it. Breakdown of the entire non veg course. They started with a salad which was quite good. This was followed by Preans and pav which was full of flavor. Ghee Roast Ghee Kabeb was really really good. Egg Kejriwal was okay as I found the base a little dense and hard. There was some chicken dish of which I don't remember the name but was a better version of Rashmi kebab. We were too full for the main course, so they only serves 1- the south Indian curry which was also good Others were good as well but the stand out was the desert. Rasgulla soaked in something with caramel (don't remember the exact name, do check the pics) but definitely try this

The place has a very positive vibe. It's fresh and welcoming. The food is exquisite and though the veg fare is limited, there's enough to choose from. The ice cream is to die for. The service is quick, polite and efficient.

Super small quantity for super high prices. Not worth the vibe too.

Nice ambience..and great service.. They need to add few more veg options in their menu...

Expensive as compared to taste and quantity of food. If they reduce the price a bit, things are good here. But it's overpriced. Don't try their crispy kulcha.. but have egg kejriwal, it's good. Coffee Rasgulla sundae is also nice in taste.

Amazing Pastrami Sandwich. But for the price, just hoped there were more layers of meat !

The ambience was good. Its on the expensive side, portions are also kind of small. Menu is very limited. Food tastes really good though, flavours are unique. Malabar porotta was really flaky and nice. The service was also great.

This is one of by he good gourmet fine dine restaurants in Lower Parel. The concept here is to provide seasonal food and local food which is healthy and serve it with delicious combinations. The pumpkin lonji was something different and very good. The matar paratha and choke kulche was strictly ok ok. Not upto the mark. It wasn’t worth the money charged. We paid about 2000 for 4 dishes.

First time at The Bombay Canteen and it has been so so amazing. Eggs kejriwal on toast, Karari.Gobhi, Ghee Roast Sikh Kebab were absolutely out of world. Get that they experiment with Indian cuisine and making it their style.

The legendary chef has moved on (RIP) but he has left a legacy which will continue for a long long time. The chefs at The Bombay Canteen have the desired skills to tickle your taste buds just the right way. Visited with a couple of friends and left the ordering to the staff. We had prawns with pav, pork rib taco, palak patta chat followed by a fish preparation with rice and steamed parotta with mutton and for dessert it was the coffee rasgulla (pics appended for all). Must visit.

I have heard a lot of the restaurant and follow them a lot on their social media page spec for their traditional food.. I was quite disappointed to not see much on the menu.. Their main course had hardly any chicken dishes and whatever they had is Kerala menu. I expected mango dishes and traditional lunch canteen menu... Way way too costly.. Paid 3k . Since there was nothing to order in chicken.. they suggested to buy 2 same dishes and Kerala parotta.. Taste was just ok.. Ideally we paid 3k for Kerala parotta and basic chicken curry.. Ambience is good.. Staff were courteous.

Cannot stress enough on how good this place this. One of the best in Delhi and great involvement from the staff.
