    Stepping off the train platform, you'll discover another side of the city that foreign visitors rarely venture to. Whilst you are mopping up slow-cooked kheema with freshly baked bread, we reveal the stories behind some of the last remaining Parsi communities in the city, dating back to the Persian families that moved to India over a century ago. Some tasty food awaits us in this district, as we continue to explore more of the street food scene.
