Taftoon, Indian restaurant in Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai, India
Taftoon is an Indian restaurant in Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai's financial district, with an open kitchen where a wood-fired oven and traditional cooking vessels are in plain view. The interior features Kashmiri woodwork and handcrafted tableware from the regions represented on the menu.
The menu draws from the Grand Trunk Road, a trade route built in the 16th century by Sher Shah Suri that connected regions from Afghanistan to Bengal. The food exchanged along this route shaped cooking traditions that have survived for centuries.
The food comes from regions like Kashmir, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Bengal, each with its own cooking style and ingredients. The handcrafted tableware and woodwork on display reflect where the recipes come from.
The restaurant is in a business district, so it draws a mix of office visitors and dinner guests throughout the day. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, and the price range sits toward the higher end.
The menu runs to 14 pages and features dishes rarely seen elsewhere, such as soft pounded meatballs in yogurt gravy from Kashmir and Punjab-style Lal Naan served with Rajma Rice. These are recipes that most Indian restaurants never put on their menus.
