Bombay Bustle is inspired by the tiffin tin carriers, the institution of men who use Mumbai’s famed local railway to deliver home cooked meals across the city. The Maddox Street restaurant pays homage to the culture and people, whose expanse of origins from across India have influenced its culinary history.

The menu sees recreations of some of the city’s most loved dishes alongside family recipes. Seasonal delights, inspired by Mumbai and the surrounding areas, include Bambaiya Ragda topped with dry peas and honey yogurt , Pickling spice Lamb chop , Rarah Kheema Pao and a Jalebi Cheesecake with Bombay Cutting Chai .

There is a lot to love about this restaurant starting with the food: elegantly prepared and presented with classic flavors and a modern flair. Delicious. The wine list was comprehensive and reasonably priced for most bottles. The service was attentive and courteous. My only major gripe is that this restaurant is now playing the same game of multiple unclear surcharges that are now part of the dining experience in many restaurants. I am AOK with service charges for the waitstaff and their 2.5% was modest and needed topping off. But they had a 10% additional charge that I was told goes back to the restaurant and not the staff. But they couldn’t or wouldn’t explain why. Why not just add it to the food prices. Probably because reviewers already gripe about the prices. But that charge felt devious and took away from an almost flawless experience. The decor on the main floor could use a little sprucing up but that was a minor gripe.

Overpriced. Too spicy and portion sizes are small. Went there for a birthday celebration and they put a candle on the dessert we ordered rather than a separate dish. Wine selection - bottle we wanted was not there. Champagne served was flat and not chilled.

Disappointing. No atmosphere or vibe, very different from the last time I visited. The food was good, but nothing exceptional.

One of the worst meals in a supposedly fine dining Indian. The fish curry was absolutely tasteless without any flavours. The rice was cold and hard. The Tawa crab was swimming in tomato sauce. Would never go back
