A GLIMPSE OF BOHRI GASTRONOMY IN MUMBAI

It's been a year since The Bohri Kitchen (TBK) started operations and I was waiting eagerly to sample their fares for a long time. My wait was well rewarded with an experience that entailed the warm touch of a really lovely family, The Kapadias.

Landing at the venue on a parched Sunday afternoon, we were asked to grab a glass of a very refreshing welcome drink, NARIYAL PAANI COOLER that superbly blended tender coconut with coconut water. While we were sipping on our drink, Munaf Kapadia, Chief Eating Officer (CEO) of TBK filled us in on a brief history of the Bohri community, that arrived from middle eastern shores to India centuries ago. He helped us understand how their cuisine over the years has incorporated nuances of the gastronomy of the land of Gujarat, where they first landed and eventually that of Maharashtra, where the community has migrated over a period of time.  Munaf is the brain behind creation of TBK and while he works with a reputed internet company, he has devoted his time on weekends to establish TBK as a illustrious culinary brand in a very short span of time.
