The Pantry Cafe is located in the stylish district of Kala Ghoda in Fort, Mumbai. It was a delightful experience to walk into such a lovely cafe restaurant like The Pantry with cute interior. I love checking out interior design of cafes and restaurants. It’s the fun part of discovering a new place to eat. In my opinion food provides the sensory pleasure and interior design provides the visual pleasure. When I go to a cafe or restaurant, the ambiance of the eating space plays as much significance as the quality of food I get. It’s the whole package that makes the dining experience special.
I was guiding my three Japanese friends who came to visit Mumbai the area of Kala Ghoda. We visited Churchgate railway station and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus first in the morning and drove to Kala Ghoda to check out the area next. I have always wanted to come visit The Pantry and finally I had a chance, so the decision was very easy to make for a place to have our lunch. We wanted to go to the afternoon tea at The Sea Lounge in Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, so we tried to eat light. I will have to go back to The Pantry to try their desserts as I was told that they were delicious!
There is a little story to tell you. My expat friend I met back in Jakarta introduced me to her friend who recently relocated from New Delhi to Mumbai. She’s also an expat and does Instagram, so we are connected through Instagram. Apparently she was in The Pantry when I was there. She saw me taking photos and later she saw a photo of The Pantry on my Instagram feed and told me that she was there!! How random is that? It would have been really cool to meet her! I find it interesting how we discover that we were at the same place through social media. How time has changed from 10 years ago! I am sure I sound like an old person, but I am simply fascinated by it.
We had a lovely lunch! After the satisfying and relaxing time at The Pantry, we visited Filter and San-Cha Tea Boutique which are in the same district. I highly recommend that you visit them all!

Hi Kaho
I agree, The Pantry is a great cafe in Kala Ghoda. They are one of the few shops that are open early morning in that area. I tend to visit them for chai tea and a peanut butter biscuit.
The traffic in Mumbai is terrible, as you know, so I travel there after dropping my children off at school. Due to little traffic, I arrive quickly and enjoy my tea while I wait for Fab India to open at 10:30.
Great blog as always…
Natasha, thank you!!! How cool! I must try their peanut butter biscuit then!! I think traveling there after kids’ drop off is perfect! Have you gone out to Anokhi in the South? I need to check it out!
Looks like a great place! I love the interior decor.
Mani, thank you!! I love anything cute, so I fell in love with their decor!
