Review
Helmed by Head Chef Dipesh Shinde, the menu at +94 Bombay reflects his upbringing with traditional Maharashtrian food and his serendipitous journey with Sri Lankan cuisine. The food sets you on a path of familiar yet unique flavours that encapsulates the palate with each dish. It brings forth a varied but unified culture with an elevated touch, uncompromising in flavour. The vibrancy of the place is certainly matched with its food, giving patrons a great option for safe and delicious dining during Covid.
