Why Visit :
A classic cafe giving you a glimpse of the slow, good old life of Mumbai, basically back when it was popularly known as Bombay. The ambiance is typically that of an old Irani cafe in that part of the city. The food is, of course, the star! From meat eaters to vegetarians and those with a sweet tooth, there is something for everyone here. .

Our Review : 4 / 5
Chandeliers, wrought-iron railings, and a groovy soundtrack make Jimmy B, y a Parsi café that stands out from the rest. Enjoy the flavours that form the base of Parsi cuisine and go ahead and order some chicken dhansak, salli par eedu and chicken farcha (a dish serving up two legs of chicken coated with eggs and fried with spices). Set up as Café India in the 1920s, it got the name Jimmy Boy in 1999 and is owned by the same owners ever since. Standing tall as one of the greatest Irani cafes in the city, Jimmy Boy has Berry Pulav to die for. It is a two-storeyed Parsi cafe that is perfect to visit for cozy afternoon feels. The best part? The old look and furniture have been retained the preserve the vintage feel of the place. Also, we found Pallonji's flavored cold drinks, one of the rare that you can still find these.
