This Indian diner draws its inspiration from the "Irani" cafes of Mumbai that sprung up in the early 20th century and attracted people from all walks of life.

The roll's sweetish aftertaste is down to bacon cured for five days and cold-smoked over oak chips. Add free-range eggs, or opt for the eggs-only version if you don't eat meat.
