The Bohri Kitchen - Kolad

We were in Mumbai for the weekend and a friend of ours told us about this fabulous home dining place. We didn't know what kind of an amazing experience we were in for. Located at cuff parade, the organiser and the hosts prepare a hearty lunch for people and invite them over to talk about their culture, love for food and the amount of effort gone into preparing each dish. We were a bunch of us sitting at their place and the genius behind the food the owner's mum specially cooked a 7 course meal for us while her husband very sweetly and generously served it all to us. There was a thaal placed in the centre of the living room where all the dishes were placed. They told us the right way to eat each of the condiments placed in the thaal. The homemade pineapple raita with boondi was a serious surprise. Never had that refreshingly awesome combination ever. We started off with the kharaas, savoury appetisers and began munching on the smoked mutton keema samosa which was da BOMB. The chicken pattice were very homelike, The adhrakhi mutton shammi kebab were the serious melt in the mouth kinds. <br/ After the massive feating on appetisers, we were served the dudhi halwa to change our taste pallet. We were then served the raan in kaju masala that was marinated for 48 hours before it was cooked. And the garnishing of coriander and egg whites surely added to the taste. All of the food that was served to us was so light, not oily or greasy like most restaurant food. <br/ We moved to the Jaman, the main course and had yet another mind blowing dish. The chicken rasheeda was cooked in rich masala, fried onions, and tomato based gravy. It was served with crispy and flaky hot paranthas. <br/ And finally, what we were actually waiting for all this long the lamb seekh biryani. Not too spicy, not at all bland. Just the perfect blend of masalas. It was so rich and aromatic. And the surprise element was the cheese and cashew based chicken seekh biryani. Not everyone's cup of tea but we like our cheese a lot so there was no way we didn't like it. <br/ This food may have been in abundance but it truly didn't make us feel heavy. We obviously skipped our breakfast and the dinner after to enjoy this lavish lunch. By the end of it, they served us some yummy hand churned guava ice cream with shreds of guava in it. Loved the red chilli sprinkle on top of it. And finally, they gave us some paan to digest all that food.<br/ The home dining event takes place every weekend and you can go and register your spot. They keep changing the menu but we must assure you, that it is all so tasty that you'll go again for it. The humble service o the people took our heart. Our stomachs and our hearts by the end of the meal were filled with an enriching bohri experience. <br/ <br/ For more such reviews, follow us on instagram and facebook: twohangrywomen<br/ <br/ P.S. the location may not be correct but the review is totally heartfelt :

Finally got around to visiting The Bohri Kitchen for a meal on Sunday and what an absolutely amazing culinary experience it was! Yes it was not just a meal but an experience as our gracious hosts engaged us in conversation, explaining each and every dish before we dug in. The food itself was beautifully cooked with every morsel teeming with flavour from the Kharaas (starters) and the Meethas (sweets) to the condiments and beverages. While I enjoyed every dish, my absolute favourites were the Raan in tangy sauce, the Russian chicken cutlets and the Date chutney. This may not have been my first Bohri Thaal meal but it was by far the best I’ve had. A homemade experience to the fullest!

One of the best dining experiences and The Best Food... From the smoked kheema samosas to the Biryani and everything in between the food was delicious, home made and very authentic. I loved the Malai khaja the best as well as the khichada as well as the Biryani... Well loved everything! We will be coming back her again and again.It's a home dining experience where we even made new friends!

Thanks for the delicious dishes and explanations! We do not typically enjoy lamb, but it was all very tasty.

After getting to see lot of videos about this Home Dine experience finally visited last weekend. I must say the food was really amazing. With the entire flow of 7 course meal starting with Mutton Samosa and ending with Paan was a delightful experience. My favourite being Raan. The only point where I am not giving them a total 5 was the dining experience. At first I felt there will be a separate Thaal for each family but because there was around 20 foodies so we had 1 Thaal with food coming in and we were suppose to attack on those food. I can totally understand the space constraint and Home dining concept. But overall it was a wonderful experience and will recommend all foodie especially Non-vegetarian to try this Home dining experience once. Just make sure that the booking is done well in advance as Home dining facility is only available on weekends and with Lunch facility only.
