Britannia & Co.
ब्रिटानिया अँड कंपनी
A family-run Parsi institution opened in 1923, famous city-wide for its Berry Pulav made with imported Iranian barberries.
Founded in 1923, this family-run Parsi-Irani restaurant is located at Wakefield House in Ballard Estate, directly opposite the New Custom House. The signature Berry Pulav features barberries flown in from Iran paired with fragrant saffron rice, available in chicken, mutton, and vegetarian versions, and is traditionally followed by caramel custard. It is open only for lunch on weekdays and Saturdays, closed on Sundays, does not accept reservations, and is cash-only according to 2026 guides. The space is small; arriving before 12:30 on weekdays helps avoid long queues, and they may close early if the food runs out. Around 800–1,200 INR for two. Located within 1 km of CSMT railway station, making it walkable.
Opening hours
Monday to Saturday around 11:30–16:00 (Saturday closing times vary by source; closes when sold out), closed Sundays
