One of the best affordable cafes. The food, ambience, service everything is on point. Great vegetarian options. Love the vibe of the cafe with soft music 🎶
I regularly visit this cafe. The staff is experienced and well informed, the place gives a combination feeling of retro and modern. The main attraction is juke box where one can play music of their choice. The place offers wide rage of food and beverage choices with a great view of chowpatty. Parking is a concern but a pay and park facility is available 5 minutes away. Average Price for 2 people is approx 2000 rupees. Do try the garlic bread.
If you are looking for a relaxed, vintage vibed place from the Brit era to just chill with your group, this is the place to be! Great service with staff that has been there since ages! Great ambience for all Retro Bollywood lovers - Govinda, Akshay Kumar, Early Shahrukh and Amir Khan songs play on loop here all the time! Nostalgia hits you to the core for all the 90's kids out there! Food is amazing with spread from Indian, Conti, Italian and also Pizzas are to die for! Freshly cooked or baked, every bite is delicious 🤤 Beers served at MRP and the crowd just chilling and vibing to the old time songs.a Must Visit if you are in the vicinity!
It's a vibe. Good food quantity. There's a jukebox for your favourite music. 25Rs for every music. Please ask for Mr. Pankaj to serve you. He is friendly and has very good waiter qualities. You must visit it if you have a spot for Irani Cafes in Mumbai. Bombai Nagariya.
In Girgaum this vegetarian restaurant offers one of the finest sizzlers in town. This multi cuisine restaurant's location acts as one of its USP.

Recently I visited this beautiful Cafe after 24 years. It has changed interior but the food is still immaculate like before. Quite reasonable prices and I throughly enjoyed every bite of the food. You have to try the Garlic fried Chana goes very well with Beer.
What a find of a cafe! Delicious food, very attentive service, a wide diversity of dishes, and all this is extra location for reasonable price. The place has a very relaxed, bit alternative atmosphere (for Mumbay, that is); worth noting are old comic strips on walls and an ancient American music box. Recommended!
This is yet another place where you must stick to basics. Our fixed orders are Munchaow Soup, Fried Rice, Bun Maska, Chese Chili Toast, Dal Fry and Rotis and Triple Schezwan. Do check out the Parsi section in the food menu if you feel like eating authentic Parsi food. The plus point of the place is its location, bang opposite Chowpaty you can sip on your beer with a view of Girgaun Beach. MP – they don’t accept card payment so make sure you carry enough cash. Enough because once you step inside you wont come out soon!
I have to drop by every time I’m in Mumbai. The food is great, the staff are so so so welcoming and the cafe itself is beautiful. I’d recommend coming here on a Sunday morning! They have a huge selection of food but we usually get sandwiches + drinks and onion rings which are out of this world.
