Botanist, ecologist, and all-round man of the people Patrick Geddes reclines on a long-armed rattan chair. An unruly mop of hair sits atop his wide forehead, which is etched with many lines. We find him in the J.N. Petit reading room, in that second of clean consciousness that comes with waking. The muffled din of the street and the gentle whir of ceiling fans fill the quiet room. He observes the marble-topped tables lined with many varied visitors: students, curious readers, elderly men poring over periodicals in English, Marathi, Hindi and Gujarati, while a handful of others are quietly nodding off. Everyday people all sitting, working and sleeping, cheek by jowl. And amongst them sits Geddes, a big-hearted Scot of excitable character. Bombay has been his home since 1917 when he travelled to India at the behest of Lord Pentland, Governor of Madras. A pioneer of town planning (successful and prolific in equal measure), he brought plenteous wisdom to India from his years reforming Edinburgh’s Old Town. His early days in Bombay were spent humbly, wandering the streets. “By living we learn”, he would say to his students from the University of Bombay. And so he would walk, observe, ask, listen – a cheerful nomadic flâneur buoyed by curiosity.

Then lunch lightly on Roomali Rolls and Salad Plates, or linger with a feast. Refresh your afternoon with a drop of Chai and a small plate or two. Dine early or dine late. Or just join us for a tipple – perhaps an East India Gimlet, a Viceroy’s Old-fashioned, or our very good Dishoom IPA? ~ MENU Bombay breakfast, lunch, afternoon chai, dinner and late tipples. See the menus Sir Patrick Geddes Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) was a Scottish botanist, sociologist, town planner, and all-round man of the people. His work improving living conditions in Edinburgh’s Old Town led him to Bombay in 1915, where he founded the department of Sociology & Civics at Bombay University. This restaurant, its design and the art on the walls are an homage to Geddes and his time in Bombay. With thanks to the National Library of Scotland and the Patrick Geddes Memorial Trust for their kind help.
