Iconic Mumbai restaurant Gaylord may have renovated and reopened with a new look, but it retains its old-world charm that is hard to miss when you enter the doors. Dhruv and Divij Lamba, the third generation of the family of one of two business partners have literally grown up here. Dhruv says, "We spent countless hours here, witnessing the joy it brought to our patrons. The aroma of freshly baked bread and the clatter of cutlery were like a comforting lullaby. We have fond memories of attending events with our families, creating a legacy that continues to this day."
Today, glowing in its incandescent light through its chandeliers, the 67-year-old restaurant situated outside Churchgate railway station even after all this time transports you to simpler times.
