The Nutcracker

Kala Ghoda's original all-day breakfast room, running since 2014 — small enough that the tables sit close together.

The flagship of what has grown into a small Mumbai chain, and the one most people mean when they say Nutcracker. Reviews describe a colourful, art-filled room that seats about two dozen with tables close together — charming for breakfast, tight for spreading out with a laptop. Listed here as a landmark worth eating at, not a scored work spot.
