Bagdadi Restaurant
Mughlai, North Indian · ₹ · Colaba
A plain Mughlai canteen on Tulloch Road, tucked behind the Taj, serving from 7 AM to half past midnight at prices that have very little to do with the postcode. It is cramped, loud and quick: you are expected to eat and free the table.

What diners say
What reviewers rate most is the ratio of quality to price, and they name the mutton fry, dabba gosht and chicken kadai as the dishes that earn it, with several noting the taste has not drifted in years. The complaints are about the experience rather than the cooking: queues at peak hours, uncomfortable seating, a room that is always full, and a gentle pressure to leave. A minority find the chicken gravies ordinary and the reputation overdone.
