Soul Fry: Prawn curry in flip flops

If you’re new to Bandra but have friends here, chances are Soul Fry will be one of your first meals out. It personifies a prevailing paradigm of life in Bandra, one that's about being creative and casual; eating prawn curry in flip flops down a nowhere street.

Patrons shoehorn themselves around the semi-circular bar and spill into the spaces between occupied tables eating Soul Fry's undeniably delicious fish fry and tandoori tikkas. It’s improbably high energy and completely relaxed at the same time.

After early drinks and dinner, you can rick it (rickshaw) to any of Bandra’s trendier nightspots, all of which are within 10 minutes. Just beware Karaoke Nights, when would-be crooners and others who refuse to go gently into the work week jam into Soul Fry to create entirely too much noise for a Monday.
