Bombay Club, Dhan Mill, Chattarpur

Bombay Club is located close to the Colocal Café at the Dhan Mill Compound, Chattarpur. Its ambience is soothing with lots of white. The skylights and the use of mirrors gives the place an expansive, spacious vibe. The cane furniture is right at home, and you can get seating near a power plug. Just in case you need to work with a laptop or on the phone and need the charging point.


The service is full marks at Bombay Club. Aakash, who served us, pampered us well, with each request followed. He also helped with the right recommendations and was extremely patient while we decided which food to order. The variety is wide. The management has curated the best and most famous foods from across Mumbai. Somewhat reminded me of Bombay Sandwich Company, another Mumbai food-centric eatery at Cross Point Mall, Gurgaon, which I think has shuttered down, unfortunately. Personally, I don't like the QR code menus in vogue today, so I liked it how they had put up a blackboard with the specials and a detailed paper menu for reference. Old fashioned, yes, but convenient much. 


Coming back to food, the chefs at Bombay Club have not tampered a lot with the traditional Mumbai cuisine. They have instead chosen to perfect the original styles and have been quite successful in their endeavours. For example, the Sev Puri is always a delight to eat. I prefer a non spicy version and the staff got me one without the chillies. 


My favourite was the Baida Roti. Stuffed with ample meat, flaky and crisp yet not a touch of oil on this fried dish. Served with mint chutney and onion salad, this one is a delight to eat. They also cook up this interesting prawn dish they call Kolmi Fry. Prawns are fit into onions and fried for that amazing crunch. The Koli masala adds a distinct flavour to this dish.


Mumbai food obviously reminds us of Parsi delicacies. One such dish on the menu at Bombay Club is the Mawa Cake. It is served with rose and pistachio ice cream.


For drinks, we enjoyed the thick classic cold coffee and the grapefruit cooler. This outlet currently does not serve alcohol. But their food could be well paired with a glass of wine or a pint of beer.

Seating tip: If weather permits, pick up a seat outside if there are just two of you. If you are going in a group, pick a large table at the back of the eatery.

PS: This outlet does levy a service charge of 10 percent.

A convenient location for laid back food and conversations. Especially if people from Gurgaon and South Delhi are looking for a mid meeting point.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Pin-drop silence: When prayers don’t work – block or divine redirection?

  Ever found yourself staring at the ceiling after a heartfelt prayer, hearing nothing but pin-drop silence? You’re not alone. This isn’t spiritual ghosting—it might be a reroute. Learn to decipher if it’s a block or divine redirection, why your manifestations aren't working, and how sacred stillness could be designing your soul’s next chapter. First Published on 15/10/2008 17:49 Second revised edition - Published on 09/07/2025 14:15 Feeling unheard isn’t always abandonment? I remember sobbing on my bathroom floor at 2:17 a.m., whispering a prayer with every ounce of desperation I had left. And then... nothing. Just silence. No sign. No comfort. No cosmic nudge. It felt like even the universe had put me on "Do Not Disturb." If you've felt that deafening pin-drop silence , where prayers seem to vanish into a black hole—know this: feeling unheard is not always abandonment. Sometimes, it's sacred space being carved for what needs to grow. We’re conditioned to be...
