Excellent turns Average
Had an opportunity of visiting after years. And it was a serious let down. The Dhansak was oily, the famed berry pulao was with few berries, the chicken was rubbery.....only the pudding was as good as one remembered. Being a regular some years ago, shared these observations with the owner, who sagely nodded his head....do not know if to say, we will take care of it or please carryon, there are a lot more yuppies to replace your kind of people. But all in all a bad experience. Would really think twice about returning.

Old world charms at new world prices
Now, this is the place my boss takes me to whenever he wants a working lunch. but ireadily agree, coz its some very good food that they serve our there. You'd read enough praises about the "Chicken Berry Pulao" they have out here. This is the dish i order most days i get here, and it comes with some nice tangy irani berry on top, and some nice fried chicken patty along with it ;)
the place has all the old world charm in the world. i am presuming they would have never done up the place or invested a single paisa in maintianing the place every after opening it aeons years ago. the only investment they make every year is to revise the prices on the menu upwards and print new menucards with these rates ;) such is the level of their "take it or leave it" arrogance that they are only open on weekdays, and that too, only 11-4 for lunch hours. so i remember making a trip from the suburbs long years back to get some food from here on a weekday
but go here if you are experimental and like some nice tangy food. the fresh lime soda is also good, so do try it out!
Bon appetit!

Lovely Berry Pulao
My parents were visiting from Singapore and asked me where they could try Parsi food. So we landed up here on a Wednesday afternoon, waited 15 mins for a table and ordered chicken berry pulao, fish patra and veg dhansak. The berry pulao and fish were superb. The dhansak was average. Shared a misti doi for dessert which was sort of a caramalised sweet yogurt based sort of custard. A tad sweet for my taste but nice. The coolest thing was that it felt like you were going back in time and the place feels like time hasn't moved in 20 years.

Good Parsi Food
Name/Location: Brittania - Ballard Estate
Average Cost: around 200 a dish
Food: Brittania is famous among the office crowd nd old parsi uncles. This place is famous for its Berry Pulao. I heard somewhere that the berries are imported from Iran though im not sure of this. Their chicken berry pulao is jsut amazing nd is like nothing iv ever had before I lovve parsi food nd havent been able to find a berry pulao at any place except this one. Its a normal pulao with berries for garnish. Im not sure how they make it but its the best Their chicken cutlets are good too though the gravy with it is more of a tomato puree. I havent tried too many other dishes here cos I always end up ordering the same thing.Another thing you should have here is a drink called Rogers(I think) which is a raspberry flavoured drink nd a good change from the usual pepsi
Service: I tihnk there are only two or three waiters for the entire restaurant but they somehow manage to handle all the customers. An old parsi gentleman will great you at the door and tell you where to sit. I tihnk his sons also sit at the counter sometimes though a part of the charm of this place is the old man running his restaurant. Service is fast nd I tihnk it takes about ten minutes for you to be served. The waiters here know the menu nd I tihnk some of them have been working here for a long time. Theyre polite though they dont always give u too much bhaav.
Ambience: This is the one place where this restaurant really needs to improve. The paint is peeling off the walls the furniture is rickity nd the place has a very shabby look to it. I wish they would do something about it nd restore the place as it would be really ncie to see all the old furniture being used. I must warn you though. This place is strictly for foodies. If you are one of those people who need a good ambience this place is definitly not for you.
Conclusion: Overall a nice place though I wish theyd become more competitive. Renovation is definitly due. as is extending their hours. Currently this place is only open for lunch nd tht too not on all days .However their food is so good that people keep comming here and you will always find this place full nd might even have to wait for a table
