  1. At Jimmy Boy,Fort ,i tried my first Parsi cuisine.Lagan nu Bhonu, which won my heart at the very first bite. Truly loved everything right from sago fries to the concluding classic custard.
    That was the first time i tasted patrani macchi.- simple and tasty. And thats when i decided to explore Parsi Cuisine.
