2 Best Restaurants in CST and Environs, Mumbai

Badshah does one thing and one thing very well: the falooda, a felicitous coupling of silky vermicelli noodles with ice cream and black basil seeds, all of which is steeped in a colorful bath of rose and khus syrup. The décor is nothing to write home about, but if you can, make a beeline for the air-conditioned section upstairs.

With its whitewashed walls and bright blue decorative highlights, Parsi Dairy Farm is eminently Instagramable and influencer-friendly, but you should go for its creamy kulfis, its candy floss–esque sutarfeni, and its adorable milk mithai, fashioned into the shape of fish. It’s also more than a century old, and run by four generations of the same family—in short, it’s a Mumbai icon.
