Bandra Born

“The only question we’re constantly asking is… is it delicious?”

Buckle up as Gresham Fernandes rolls into town with his genre-bending circus of flavour, Bandra Born. 

Mumbaikars are forever debating who does the best vada pav or frankie, but there’s one thing they can all agree on: Bandra Born slaps. Impossible to define and even harder to book, the perennially buzzy ‘culinary playground’ is Gresham Fernandes’ tribute to his childhood and the unmistakable flavours of Mumbai’s iconic western suburb.

Full of twists you didn’t quite see coming and featuring the likes of ‘Whipped Ricotta, Brown Butter & Mustard Seed Tadka, Pomegranate Molasses, Sourdough’; ‘Grilled Squid, Indian Chorizo Broth, Grelot Onions’ and ‘Aged Duck Breast, Roasted Pumpkin, Pure Masala Oil, Curry Leaf, Coconut’, Gresham’s ever-changing menus are the we’ll-have-some-more-of-that-please inflection point between nostalgia and invention. 

This is cooking that entertains and delights: big flavours, sharp edges and no interest in playing it safe. It’s Mumbai turned all the way up and you’ll definitely be wanting a seat at the table.
