The thing with Parsi food is that you either love it or you hate it. Over the years, Parsi food has become more Indianised. It has a perfect blend of Iranian, Gujrati, British, Portuguese and Goan cuisine. Parsi cuisine does live up to the hype and is loved in Mumbai by all the communities. The city is dotted with charming Parsi restaurants.
Here are some Parsi dishes that we cannot get enough of:
