We have nothing but gratitude in our hearts and immense love for everyone who has been a part of our journey.
Jan 31st, 2026 will be our last date. Exactly 11 years and 3 months since our very first home-dining experience, where an argument with my Mom Chef Nafisa Kapadia, over the TV remote led to an idea to invite complete strangers into our home to eat her food.
In this decade plus, we’ve had Rishi Kapoor and many others over, secured funding from some of the coolest people in the industry, somehow standardised mom’s andaaz-ka-khaana, and built a pan-Mumbai and Pune supply chain delivering 200 biryanis a day on demand. We almost shut it all down post-Covid, pivoted to catering, wrote a book, negotiated three “almost” movie deals, won the Times Food Awards twice and the Midday Rising Star, and I had the privilege of working with close to 100 amazing colleagues, many of whom are now permanent friends.
TBK also inflated my ego by putting me on the cover of Forbes, showed my face globally via the BBC, had me spotted on an Air China in-flight TV screen over Beijing, and even won a reality show, only to have it all reset by making me both financially and mentally bankrupt multiple times.
TBK has had a full, complete journey of its own.
I’m deeply happy with, and grateful for, the decade we did get. For the food, the stories, the madness, and most of all, the incredible people who became part of this ride.
Thank you for the love, the faith, and the patronage. Now, onto the next thing.
Cheers!

In December 2014, Nafisa Kapadia’s son – Munaf, was frustrated with being denied TV time by his mom who was hooked onto watching saas-bahu shows. So he sent an email to a few of his friends, telling them about ‘The Bohri Kitchen’ – a place where they could come and eat his mother’s food, at his house that Saturday. 4 hours later – the first TBK home dining experience was sold out.
What started as a small project slowly turned into a mini home chef revolution where Nafisa Aunty’s smoked mutton kheema samosas and 2-day marinated raan became a hot topic of discussion amongst foodies and food critics across Bombay. Few mentions in newspapers, blogs, radio and TV channels later, TBK became Bombay-famous.

Ordered the biryani (white sauce), mutton samosas and chicken shammi kebabs. The food was great, the white sauce of the biryani subtle enough to allow the other favours to shine, the mutton soft enough to be eaten with a spoon. The smoked mutton samosas legendary. This isn't via swiggy, but perhaps more convenient. The one taking the order advised me on portions and menu choices. I'll definitely be ordering again!

We ordered the combo meal package on Parsi New year & had it for the next day as well..... Although I found the Biryani a little dry, my husband & son enjoyed it thoroughly...The chicken tikkas were exceptional too....All items were packed in microwavable containers... Many thanks to Bori Kitchen for the yummy meal.....Will definitely call for another round soon again....

Have always had a pleasant experience with TBK. But this time was really taken by surprise (happy one) by the TBK team. I had placed an order for the 15th Sept, weekend special but was outstation and could not make the payment for the order placed. I was under the assumption that the order would not be processed without a remittance. Was really happy when I got a message on 15/9 to say that TBK delivery was on its way to me... Had to phone to reconfirm that they had indeed processed the order despite not having received remittance from me. I did remit TBK account the next day ... There are a lot of people who sell good food in a city like mumbai... But what is more important is to be able to connect with your customers as well and that is what TBK does for me. Thankyou for that experience and of course the food TBK team..

I brought their biryani to Singapore for my friends and family and from the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive and wonderful to deal with. I needed the order on the same day and they made it happen. They also provided helpful care instructions for my travel and the packaging was excellent. Though I don't eat meat, everyone who tasted the biryani couldn’t stop raving about how flavorful it was calling it some of the best they've ever had. It was absolutely worth the effort to carry it with me.

A big shoutout to TBK Team for absolutely nailing it! The food was an explosion of flavors—delicious, mouthwatering, and finger-licking good. Overall, I’m giving the experience a solid 5, but that Mango Malai? It was the showstopper, pushing it straight to a cool 10 plus! 🥰🥰 Thank you for the fantastic food and top-notch service! You all knocked it out of the park! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

It was my friends 60th birthday celebration. They had not eaten TBK. So we ordered the chicken Biryani, Red masala Raan, Smoked mutton keema Samosa, Chicken Russian cutlet. Every item was on the dot for taste, flavour & freshness. Every item was yummy too. Amazing experience. Thanks TBK team for still being consistent & ticking all the boxes for a good customer experience.
