had gone to britannia for lunch yesterday. In my book this is one of the best restaurants in mumbai. The food that they serve is simply amazing. we ordered two fresh lime sodas,sali boti and berry chicken pulao. Both the dishes were excellent. for dessert we had caramel custard and misti doi.total damages for two people including tip was 600 rupees. absolute value for money.

Some places u wish u could freeze the moment and savour it all your life and share it with your kids and everyone else... One such place is Britannia. I visited the place after a few years and it still brought back memories of Simple times when life was a little more forgiving, Simple great food, fun times with friends and a charming little place.
Though the place may be not be up to its previous high standards it still manages to give you a damn good meal..
We had the all time favorite, Berry Pulao and the Dhansak rice and boy was it something. Unfortunately they ran out of Patra ni machi - but that looked as good if nothing else.
The meal did not end there, if u want arguably the best Caramel Custard in town... Britannia it is.
The philosophy of the place is:
'There is no love greater than the love of eating'
Guys, if there was a way to preserve the charm of this place and share it with next many generations, I would do it.
Damages: About 300 per head
Go for it...

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.

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!
