Bombay Belly
Friends, it is with a heavy heart-and stomach-that I make the following announcement:
There are no loos in Bombay.
In any case, there are no loos in the best eateries in Bombay.
At least, in the Colaba area.
It almost seems to be an unwritten rule in maximum city that the better the food the less chance you have of rushing off to the WC as soon as you have stuffed yourself to the gills.
A random and by no means exhaustive roll-call of eateries without loos: Martin's (Goan), Theobroma (confectioneries), Olyampia [sic] (Mughlai), Cafe Churchill (continental), Baghdadi's (Iranian and Mughlai), Anantashram (Marathi), Cafe Ideal (continental breakfast).
If caught short in any of the top five, your best bet is to rush to Leopold's or Mondegar's, both spitting distance away from Regal Cinema. Anantashram is in somebody's house so you could try being nice to them, though I doubt that it would work.
As for Cafe Ideal, there is always the Arabian Sea.
