Baar Baar

Weekend brunch at Baar Baar is a party, complete with a DJ playing old and new Bollywood tunes. While there are many items on the menu worth getting excited about, the most noteworthy is the egg Kejriwal — a dish with Mumbai origins that has spread around the world, including at the late Floyd Cardoz’s former Paowalla in New York. It’s a hearty breakfast dish, featuring toasted sourdough, cheese, a fried egg, and green chile chutney. Baar Baar also serves a version with avocado.
