Back in 2001, Riyaaz Amlani introduced coffee shops to the city. He's now back with an all-new concept - this time with 14 varied flavours at Lower Parel


While visiting Kamala Mills Compound on a weekday afternoon for a meeting, Riyaaz Amlani recalls seeing a swarm of office-goers walking out of the gate to tuck into the spread at local street stalls. "I realised a lot of restaurants were running empty because people wanted to eat sandwiches khichiya papad and other khau galli fare," he says. Amlani saw an opportunity in the fact that not everybody at the bustling office space had the wherewithal to shell out a grand for a meal every day. "I wanted to solve their lunch and after-work scene by bringing cuisines from around the country under one roof at an affordable price," he says. And so Amlani, who with the Mocha and Social chains has been instrumental in shaping the way young India drinks coffee, dines and parties, is ready with his latest offering, Flea Bazaar Cafe. Wander into this curated market and take your pick.
