A Mumbai dinner we queued 40 minutes for
Fort, Mumbai · Food
No reservations, no menu, no regrets.
Steel plates, an unstoppable stream of refills, and staff who genuinely do not care about your capacity.
Why we went
Vinay had read one very old blog post about it.

We ate for ninety minutes, walked for another sixty because neither of us could sit in a car, and agreed it was the best meal of the trip.

Food and drinks
