City Bakery

From the original Royal Bakery family, comes City Bakery. Started a little later in the the 60s – 70s (which would make them around 50+ years old), their goods are gold. The story goes, that the original Mr. Royal Bakery (he who wishes not to be named) fled with the Parsis from Iran to India (to escape religious persecution), with just the shirt on his back. He started working at Kohinoor Restaurant (opposite the current location of City Bakery) before starting his own venture – Royal Bakery. Soon after, his two sons took over the family business, bifurcated it, and City Bakery was born. Among the specialties here are the wine biscuits, Brazilnut, cheese papdi, and palmiers/fan biscuits. Sugar-dusted and chocolate-glazed donuts are only available on weekends. City Bakery operates during the evening, from 4pm onwards, as they bake during the day only, and not at night. We’ve tried and loved nearly everything on their menu, and think you will too.
