It's been almost 10 years since we last looked out over the Arabian Sea from the rooftop of the Gulf Hotel and
contemplated world domination. So, it was something of a momentous occasion when we trudged up three flights of stairs in three-inch heels to relinquish our worm's-eye view of the world from the Andheri outlet of Koyla.
Owner Farhan Azmi and wife Ayesha Takia arrived a short while later, having braved their way through three hours of traffic from their residence in Colaba. The journey proved a revelation of sorts for Ayesha, who claimed that she had indeed "married the right guy" since Farhan used to make the hack from Colaba to Saki Naka in Andheri to meet her, not once, but twice a day.

Farhan, who describes himself as a "loafer" growing up, interested only in "racing cars and hanging out at Bade Miyan's", spoke with pride about how when Koyla first opened in Colaba, all they had to offer customers in terms of comfort was just a bunch of plastic chairs and tables. "Koyla is still a place where you can come to smoke some sheesha and eat good food," says Farhan.
