In the center of the trendy Fort region sits Jimmy Boy, the best place to sample India’s rare Parsi cuisine. One of the lesser known culinary traditions of the nation offers such delicacies as the "sali par edu" egg dish to start with, then the "patra ni machchi" fish fillet in a plantain leaf bundle and "dhansak", a brown gravy with potatoes. Making no concessions to modern design or stylings the restaurant’s success instead rests on the quality of its food (which mirrors the simplistic stylings of the interior). But it’s not just the Parsi community and fussy eaters who flock here. Chowhounds eager to sample alternative new cuisines and experience a multi-faceted taste of the region they are in also enjoy this great alternative to the norm.
