The Nutcracker
Kala Ghoda · South Bombay
middling
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.
