A four course feast starting with a welcome drink is priced at 1399/- per person. We think that this is a steal for anyone who loves the parsi food. To book your place for this and know other details, click on the link given below:

We saw quite a few popups by Perzen last year, but this is the first in 2016. Looking at the menu, we would love to have more in the next few months. For now grab this opportunity to taste the machhi from the Parsi households. The lunch is priced at 2500/- per person. Make your bookings at:
