Parsi mutton pulao topped with tangy Iranian zereshk berries, fried cashews and crispy onion. The Britannia and Co signature, dating to 1923.
Britannia and Co opened in Ballard Estate in 1923 and is run by the Kohinoor family. Bachan Kohinoor introduced berry pulao using imported Iranian zereshk berries layered through saffron rice with chicken or mutton. Her son Boman ran the cafe for decades until his death at 97 in 2019, and Britannia still imports the same zereshk berries from Iran for the dish.
