Mumbai's two-tier butchery system produces split doneness preferences — high-end Bandra restaurants serve premium cuts at international doneness levels (Medium-Rare to Medium); traditional Crawford Market home cooking uniformly produces well-done Buffalo via pressure-cooking. Both are valid Mumbai expressions.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
