Paramount — Restaurant in Mumbai

I made my second visit to Paramount, having first visited nearly a decade ago. The place still carries that nostalgic Irani café charm. I tried the kheema pav, which, considering its price, was a bit disappointing, as it contained more peas than kheema. However, the chai, bun maska, and jam provided much-needed comfort, just as I had remembered.

A charming, century-old Irani café right opposite Girgaon Chowpatty—Paramount is perfect for chai, bun maska, and a dose of nostalgia. The mutton kheema and caramel custard are absolute highlights. The café offers simple, straightforward cuisine, prompt service, and a nostalgic atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable, but note: it's cash-only, and the washrooms could be better.

Over 100 years old—established around 1921—this classic Irani café exudes old-world charm with checkered tablecloths, bentwood chairs, high ceilings, black-and-white flooring, large vintage mirrors, and walls adorned with Bombay-era photos.

Visited Paramount Cafe, a charming Irani Parsi establishment, and it truly lived up to its nostalgic vibe and rich culinary legacy. We tried their Veg Kolhapuri with Pav — a delightful surprise! Spicy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, it brought authentic Maharashtrian heat with the comforting soft pav on the side. The bun maska and chai were classic — the bun was fresh, buttery, and soft, while the chai was kadak and aromatic, just as it should be at a true Irani cafe. To end the meal on a sweet note, we had their custard, which was smooth, creamy, and not excessively sweet — a perfect end to a hearty meal. The ambiance was relaxed and rooted in old Bombay charm, with friendly service and a lot of character in every corner of the cafe. Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) Fantastic food, great value, and a must-visit if you’re craving comfort food with some Irani flair! 📍 Highly...
