From Bandra to Fitzrovia, with love.
Pahli Hill Bandra Bhai brings the warmth, flavour and spirit of home-style Indian cooking to Mortimer Street.
Born in Bandra. Made for London.
Pahli Hill takes its name from the leafy lanes of Bandra, where great cooking is instinctive, generous and full of character. On Mortimer Street, we bring that same spirit to the table through regional Indian dishes rooted in memory, tradition and flavour.
Bandra Bhai is the friend who pulls you into the right bar, orders for the table and makes the night feel effortless. That energy lives here too — a candlelit dining room upstairs, a hidden cocktail bar below, and bold food served with heart.
We don't do clichés. We serve regional Indian food with depth, warmth and punch — made to be shared and remembered.

Three things you must know.

The Speakeasy. Dinner Floor Vibe.
Upstairs, Pahli Hill is bright, warm and built around the table. Downstairs, Bandra Bhai is darker, cosier and more clandestine — a low-lit cocktail den with the same soul. Two distinct moods, one kitchen, and the same regional Indian food at the heart of both.
Down the back staircase, behind an unmarked door, there's a Mumbai-1970s cocktail den. Curry-leaf gin, jaggery sours, Indian single malts. Walk-ins, low light, late hours. Knock twice.
Bandra, once a quiet Catholic fishing village, evolved into a vibrant Bombay neighbourhood. In the early '90s, India's closed economy led to underground smugglers providing rare luxuries like whiskies and gold watches. Our bar and cocktails celebrate this spirit of secret hustle, forbidden indulgence and timeless charm.
The little things nobody else does.
Polaroid memories, "guest gets what guest wants", a speakeasy below stairs — the moves that make us, us.
Thoughtful touches, rarely offered.
Power-bank tables, unlimited event refills, late hours for private hires.
