    You will be picked up from your hotel and driven to Metro cinema, the starting point of your culinary tour. During the tour we will be decoding the Parsi legacy and getting to know more about their eternal love story with Mumbai. Parsis are members of the Zoroastrian community who fled to India between the 8th and 10th century A.D. to escape persecution following the Muslim conquest of their homeland in Persia. Today they are an integral part of the society in Mumbai, who have preserved their cultural identity over the centuries. From Metro Cinema walk to a hundred-year old bakery and sample some of their famous puff pastries, watermelon juice and bun maska. Stop for a while for a quick special kulfi, a popular frozen dairy dessert at the Parsi Dairy Farm.
