Britannia and Co
Sprott Road, Ballard Estate, Fort · next to New Custom House.
This rundown restaurant, run by a partnership of geriatric brothers (by the name Kohinoor), is a South Mumbai institution, having been in existence since 1923. The signature dish is berry pulav, the recipe for which the late Mrs. Kohinoor found in Teheran while she was working with Iranian Airways. The Parsi favourite dhansak is of course available and tastes great. Try the caramel custard for dessert. The waiter may con you into trying the Raspberry soda. The first sip is sweet, but the whole bottle is cloying.
