8 course Home Dining & Bohri Cultural Experience at Colaba

The Bohris are a small sub-sect of the Shia Muslim community and are believed to originate from Yemen. They slowly migrated to Surat in Gujarat, India and now they’re present in all parts of the world. This migration resulted in a cultural exchange and the Bohri culture, especially the food, got sprinkled with Yemeni, Arabic and Gujarati flavors.

It is these flavors that The Bohri Kitchen brings to you, inside a traditional Bohri household cooked by a very Bohri mother - Nafisa Kapadia.

The Kapadia's welcome you to their very traditional Bohri home, go back in time as you sit here listening to the story of the origin of Bohris and experience their tradition of sharing food on a 4 ft thaal between 7 people while indulging in a 8 course meal that is definitely not for the faint hearted (or tight belted)!
