Having always had a lot of Parsi friends and having been exposed to their food, when Jumjoji recently opened as an authentic Parsi cuisine restaurant in Bandra, a friend and I decided to have our Sunday lunch there.

Jumjoji is a small restaurant with a few tables, not ostentatious and located in a lane parallel to Lilavati hospital. The menu is limited but named interestingly after various aunts of the owner. We settled for "Aunty Dhanu's Cheese & Veg fingers" as starters. They were really good and served with a sweet and sour sauce. We also ordered the traditional Parsi Raspberry drink. For the main course, being vegetarian, I ordered the "Veg shtew" and my friend ordered "Patra ni Machi" ,both named after some aunt. The Shtew though tasty was a dry dish, while i expected it to be with gravy. My friend enjoyed the fish and we rounded off the meal with "Lagan nu Custard"


All in all, a fairly satisfying meal. If you have a craving for Parsi food you could step into Jumjoji.
