Cafe Bollywood is an authentic Mumbai street food restaurant in Florentin, Tel Aviv, run by Puja and Maskin Moses — a couple who immigrated to Israel from Mumbai over a decade ago. Maskin grew up in a family of acclaimed dancers and performed in Bollywood films as a teenager, which inspired the restaurant’s name.
The entirely vegetarian menu draws from Mumbai’s street food culture, with dishes priced between ₪18–55. Highlights include pani puri, sev puri, masala dosa, pav bhaji, chole bhature, and vada pao alongside mains like paneer butter masala, malai kofta, and dal makhni. All paneer is handmade in-house. Desserts include motichur and kulfi, and drinks feature masala chai, rose lassi, and spiced milk. The menu incorporates Ayurvedic principles.
The colorful space is decorated with items brought from India, including hand-hammered bowls and traditional chai cups designed for shared drinking. A rare find in Tel Aviv’s Indian dining scene — affordable, vegetarian, and rooted in genuine Mumbai street food tradition.
