Cafe Military
Parsi, Irani Cafe · ₹₹ · Fort
A Parsi room off Nagindas Master Road that has become as much a beer joint as a restaurant, and is happy about it. The draw is the kheema ghotala and the salli boti, eaten under fans at old tables with a bottle of beer. It is cash only, takes no bookings, and closes on Sundays.

What diners say
Reviewers rate the kheema ghotala, salli boti and berry pulav highly, and the old-school desserts almost as much, with the beer list a large part of why people stay. The complaints are consistent and practical: cash only with no digital payment accepted, washrooms that several describe as poor, no parking nearby, and dishes that arrive lukewarm more often than they should.
