★★★★★ 5.0 Ameya Bhakay · Dec 2025

Walked in on day after thanksgiving for brunch, and this place was relatively quiet. We got an amazing booth seating, but really wanted their fancy bus seating which gives a classic diner feel to the restaurant. TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken

This place is absolutely beautiful and had wonderful staff. It’s just so iconic it’s fascinating. It’s an interesting diffusion of Indian and American diner and cuisine. My cocktail was to die for the Tika tots outstanding the vegetable chili phenomenal. I thought the chicken pot pie was OK could’ve been warmer. Eggs Benedict perfect

★★★★☆ 4.0 Akshay Pandey · Mar 2026

Overall good but there's one thing which I didn't like - I walked in and asked for a table for 2. We were given a table in the corner with small space. There were 5+ tables empty but they told us they're reserved. We were there for about 2 hours, till right before it closed but all those tables were empty throughout. I just wish they hadn't made any excuse and given us better seating. I liked the food but the seating experience was a bit uncomfortable.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jen Lendof · Nov 2025

We enjoyed Sunday brunch in the charming street-side diner section. I ordered the Tikka Tots with Diced Chicken, while my daughter chose the Masala Chai French Toast. Both dishes were flavorful, inventive, and fun twists on traditional diner fare... so good that we ended up swapping plates halfway through! A small heads-up: the Tikka Tots might appear under “light bites,” but the portion is delightfully generous. 😉

★★★★☆ 4.0 Samantha C · Jan 2026

Great rainy day spot. We got a seat in the old-timey front section, but I’d imagine I’d be a little disappointed if that wasn’t the case. Food was good and unique! There were a lot of menu items I’d like to go back for.
