Prithvi Café
The now infamous Irish Coffee, classic kadak Cutting Chai, minty-lemony Sulemani
Chai and the Kashmiri Kahva at the Prithvi Café - we have been told, it is to
die for. On top of that there is a wide ranging menu of delicious bites, snacks,
drinks and desserts. The Prithvi Café is an open-air Café hugged by gorgeous
trees, bamboo and plants and custom designed decor. A little oasis of
tranquillity in the middle of Mumbai.
Café Hours: 11 AM to 10 PM (Everyday)

◆ No late entry
Please be there early, entry to the theatre starts 15 minutes before show time, but since there is free seating our patrons do come even earlier to stand in queue.
◆ No re-entry if you step out
As the theatre is extremely intimate, patrons will not be allowed to enter once the show starts so as not to disturb the performer and fellow audience members. If in case you need to leave mid performance, you may not be allowed to re-enter during the performance..
◆ Phones switched off (not even slient mode)
Additionally, we would request all our patrons to refrain from using their mobile phones as the screen light itself, notwithstanding loud sound alerts and ringtones are very disturbing, again to the performer and fellow audience member alike.
◆ Parking facility
There is no parking inside Janki Kutir or the Prithvi premises.There is, however, a Pay and Park facility opposite 'Mahesh Lunch Home’.
