B Bhagat Tarachand- Zaveri Bazaar, Vegetarian restaurant in Zaveri Bazaar, Mumbai, India
B Bhagat Tarachand is a vegetarian restaurant in Zaveri Bazaar, Mumbai's jewelry trading district, serving North Indian dishes such as dal fry, paneer tikka, and freshly baked breads. The dining room is simply set up and welcomes regulars from the neighborhood as well as visitors passing through the market.
The restaurant was founded over a century ago as a small eatery serving traders and workers in what was already a growing jewelry district. Over time it became a fixture in the neighborhood, witnessing the changes of the market across several generations.
The restaurant sits close to the Mumbadevi Temple and draws pilgrims, traders, and workers from the jewelry market who stop for a traditional vegetarian meal during the day. The cooking follows strict vegetarian principles, which reflects a long-standing habit in this part of Mumbai.
The restaurant opens early in the morning, which makes it a good stop for breakfast or lunch during a visit to the jewelry market. It tends to fill up during the busiest hours of the market day, so arriving a little early or late helps.
The kitchen still makes its butter rotis following recipes that have not changed since the early days of the place. Many visitors who come for the jewelry market do not realize they are eating in a spot that has been feeding traders in this street for well over a century.
