Bombay all day, in an old bank building

In brief

On St Andrew Square, in a former bank with a ballroom-scale interior, serving a menu drawn from Bombay's old Irani cafes. It isn't a dinner restaurant so much as an all-day room, opening at eight for breakfast and running to midnight. Queuing is part of it — they hand out free chai while you wait.
