The Irani cafe is the soul of how Mumbai sits and sips, and the oldest rooms still set the standard. Kyani and Co opened on Marine Lines in 1904 and Sassanian Boulangerie followed on 1st Marine Street in 1913, both serving bun maska, brun and milky chai, while Cafe Mondegar on Colaba Causeway has run its Mario Miranda murals and jukebox since 1932. Alongside them, Subko on Chapel Road in Bandra West and Blue Tokai in Lower Parel and Pali Hill carry the city's specialty-coffee wave.
