Rohan Daftary

Tried ordering food from kaka kaki, for thr first time yesterday. Ordered thr chicken biryani which was super falvourful with peices if tender cooked chicken. The cream tikka's as the name suggest were super creamy and flavourfull fired to a perfect golden brown. The Shammi Kebabs had a melt in the mouth texture and we're delicious. I was also extremely impressed with thr portion sizes, thought they are exteremely well priced. All thr food came extremely well packed and sealed. Kaka kaki truly deserve five stars!

I had ordered Butter Chicken, Biryani and pudding. The taste, quality and presentation was really good. The Butter Chicken stood out - the taste was just perfect, better than most other restaurants I have had.

Had a lovely evening with my family at Kaka Kaki!

We were 10 of us who booked the place for an authentic Bohri Thaal experience. And we were truly satisfied. The food, the hospitality, everything was perfect! For this family dinner I was looking for something unique to try when I came accross Bohri cuisine. Even though I have tried Bohri food before, I knew this would be something exciting for the rest of the family. We all are together from the thaal in the most authentic way. Starting with salt, then a welcome drink, three types of salads, two sweet dishes, two savoury, soup, biryani and paan. Everyone was thrilled to try all these new flavours and thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to try something new in Bombay. Also, if you're a big group, then I would recommend you go for the thaal experience. It's nothing like you've done before! The evening was very memorable. A big thank you ti everyone at Kaka Kaki for the amazing food and hospitality. We will surely come again :)

Excellent place for authentic bohri food. You must try that delicious dum biryani. The chicken pieces are really good and the quantity is plentiful. I also suggest you try out their starters. Specially the creamy tikka Chicken. It is like a certain but very soft and juicy.

Food arrived on time and came nice and hot.

Try the Creamy Chicken Tikka and most definitely the white sauce pattice.
It will remind you of the good old times of Bombay.

I also suggest you give the biryani a shot it is really good. There are good pieces in the biryani. And that matters because it is not a boneless Biryani but you will enjoy it very much.

For desert dry caramel custard. I personally enjoyed this very much.

Saw this new place serving bohri food and decided to try it. We ordered the following:

Chicken dum Biryani - a traditional bohri dum Biryani with lots of aloo and will cooked chicken. It's not very heavy on the masala hence light and good

Chicken creamy tikka: you have to try this, it's on a stay stick and deep fried. This chicken is soft and the there's a nice thick creamy texture to it. A must try for sure!

Caramel custard: just perfect! Not very sweet which is great. A good end to a wholesome meal.

For me Bohri food is a new. I know that it has influence from Gujarat as well as from the Middle East but that was all I knew. Since I am vegetarian I was shocked to know they have some special vegetarian dishes.

So I decided to try it out from Ambrosia’s Kaka Kaki. Such a lovely name as well. Feels like you are having food from your neighbour’s house.

Since I was not sure as how the food would taste I tried calling for dishes I had heard about as i was a bit apprehensive. Little did I know that I would soon become a fan of the cuisine? What I tried from here was so delicious.

The Veg Awesome 3 Pattice: It comes coated in sev and are fried. Yet they are soft and supple and the stuffing inside was superb. It had mashed potato, some peas, coriander and spices. It was not very spicy but the taste was too good. They had also provided green chutney with it.

Crispy Samosas Called Arhar Ke Samosa: They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It had a potato filling. It was different but very flavourful. Next time we will order an extra plate. It was that good.

Bohri Veg Dum Biryani : Oh wow. The smell was to die for and the taste will certainly take you to ehaven. This Biryani had chunks of something like Gujrati Alu Wadi inside it and that was so good too. Quantity wise it was value for money.

Kaki’s Malida: just wow! It was sweet and had almonds in it. It has an awesome texture and it reminded me of lapsey. The whole dish was superb.

If you ask me know I can tell you i loved the food, In fact I can easily say this is one of my favourite restaurant for 2019.

The foodie in me has heard great reviews about Ambrosia's Kaka Kaki and the amazing food that the serve. So this week we decided to try it out. In school my Best friend was Bohri so I am familiar with the flavours and taste of authentic Bohri food. Nevertheless it’s been long since I have got the chance to indulge in it as we haven’t really been in touch.

One thing that Bohri food is famous for is eating in large groups so we decided to call for the food home and have relatives over. We placed orders for starters, mains and dessert.

In starters we tried both vegetarian and non-vegetarian starters. In Vegetarian we had the Awesome 3 Pattice which had peas, potatoes, chillies and so much. We also called for the Chicken White Sauce Pattice which was too yummy as well. Both had their own charm and i can tell you for sure both were winners.

We also called for Chicken Creamy Tikka and Arhar Ke Samosa. Both totally recommended by me in case you are looking for suggestions.

The samosa was full of flavour and chicken creamy Tikka was just melt in the mouth. They are formed on a skewer stick and simply manage to melt in the mouth. Trust me you will fall in instant love.

For mains nothing beats Biryani when the family is over. So we called for both Chicken Dum Biryani and the Veg Dum Biryani. Both of them were awesome. The veg was good and the chiken reminded me of my school friends house.

Lastly for dessert we had caramel custard and it was superb too. One thing to note is that they send all the food in gorgeous packaging. Neat and clean and easy to lay out on the table.

I undeniably will be calling for more food from here. The food experience form Kaka Kaki made us all happy and content.

Originating from the Middle East and Egypt the Bhori’s brought with them distinctive culture and food. The process of infusing herbs by par boiling and the use of deep fried soft patties and satays, Rice, and thaal was made popular by them.

So when I heard that good Bhori food was available in Mumbai, I had to give it a try. Kaka Kaki is located in Santacruz west. It is a dine in place. However I had called for delivery as my cousins had come over.

We tried quite a variety of dishes. These were:

Chicken Dum Biryani: Classic Bhori Dum Biryani. It has a lot of saffron rice with minimal masala yet very flavourful rice and chicken. The chicken itself was cooked to perfection. When we opened the container the whole room was filled with the Biryani’s aroma. They also give you Raita with it which was a delight.

Chicken Creamy Tikka- Excellent! It had such a good taste. It had flavours of garlic, chilli and maybe mayo, cream or yogurt. You can say it was my favourite, I highly recommend that you try it out. My absolute favourite from Kaka Kaki.

Chicken White Sauce Pattice: Believe it or not these are so gentle and soft to feel but they are explosions of flavour in the mouth. Its soft, crunchy from the veggies and tasty at the same time. They also have some pasta inside them. It is just too good. Totally recommend them.

Caramel Custard : For dessert I called for caramel custard. It was one of the best for sure. The consistency was giggly yet it was so nice and thick and it kept its shape. The sugar was perfectly dark and sweet-bitter and the amount of dry fruit flakes they put made it super rich and fancy. I and my family enjoyed the caramel custard thoroughly. Definitely recommend this.

Kaka Kaki has outdone my expectations. A must visit if you ask me. And if you cannot make it then definitely get delivery. Its really good. Special thanks to prathamesh the manager who gave me such good suggestions and ensured prompt delivery.

The FTB Tales

Kaka Kaki is a small outlet, situated in Santacruz West, serving authentic Bohri food.
The cafe has a simple setting with walls adorn with cute family photographs on one side and hand painted wall paintings on the other side.

The owner, specially-abled, Mr. Hozef Darukhanawala’s story is an inspiring one. He worked as a banker, but his love for cooking urged him to host guests at his own home, where he would make them indulge in the true taste of Bohri food. Finally, his unparalled love for cooking & sharing the essence of Bohri food resulted in the birth of the Kaka Kaki cafe.

The food, at the Kaka Kaki, is prepared using heirloom recipes which makes it all the more homely. As we know the Bohri cuisine is popular for their concept of Thaal, where about 4 -8 people share food from one big plate. The whole idea behind this is to create a bond amongst the people, share a moment and avoid wastage of food. Great, isn’t it!

The place, however has limited seating, so ideally if you’re planning to experience the Bohri Thaal, it is advised to pre-order it and book a table in advance. They do home delivery too. Besides the Thaal, they do have an array of Bohri delicacies which are equally delicious.

From Mutton Kheema Samosa, Raan to Sheer Khurma, there are so many variants to try out, each with a unique taste. What’s more! All the items are priced very reasonably.
So, if you’re looking forward for some finger licking homely food, the Kaka Kaki is a must try.

From presentation to taste it gets 5*, the order I placed with Kaka Kaki turned out to be worth every penny. Greatly packed, I could serve directly. Wish I had taken the pic of grilled chicken with garlic sauce, it was in a skewer and looked very delicious. The chicken pattice in white sauce is divine, very addictive taste. Then the biryani, must give it all the marks and extra for that sumptuous raita. Oh ! I missed the Time, despite the last minute order... I still got my food delivered right on Time 👏🏻

KAKA KAKI! 😍

Of late, a lot of places have started coming up, serving the not so quintessential, but different Bohri Food! It has a different uniqueness, what with homestyle Bohri Food, being served in a traditional manner! Kaka Kaki, is one such place, which is a hidden gem in its true right!

It is located in the bylanes of Santacruz West, and can be reached easily from the Santacruz Station as well! The Menu, has a lot of variety to choose from, and has been curated very well! They also serve the Bohri Thaal, which can be shared by 3 to 4 people at once! The Prices are pretty decent, and the quality of food being offered for those Rates, is pretty amazing!

We were here for a Lunch on a weekday, and were served some of their special dishes, which they had curated for Bakri Eid! Every dish here, has a very different taste to it, and the dishes are made to perfection! 😍

We started with the Chicken Mystic Cheese Kebab, which had Minced Chicken stuffed with Cheese, and was so so delicious! The Chicken was cooked to perfection, and the Kebabs had a creamy, and cheesy texture to them! Totally loved this one! 🤤

We also had the Mutton Keema Samosas and the Mutton Nargisi Shaami Kebab, and even though, I am not a Mutton Fan, but I truly loved both of them! The Nargisi Shaami Kebab, was stuffed with, Mutton Mince, which was cooked with Chana Dal, and Pieces of Boiled Egg! It had that perfect balance of flavours as well! 😋

The Chicken Cream Tikka was amazing as well! It was marinated in fresh cream, and kaju badam paste, and had a very different taste to it! The best thing was, that it was not too sweet!

We even had the Bohri Chicken Dum Biryani, which had Chicken Leg Pieces, in it too! It had a very subtle taste to it, and was not too spicy! Tasted quite good!

For Desserts, we had the Kaki's Malida, which is a wheat based dessert, and it was my first time, having this, and it was a very different kind of Sweet! A Bohri Special, this! Had a very different taste to it! 😋

We also tried the Caramel Pudding, and totally fell in loveee with it, as soon as we had the first bite of it! It was oh so fluffy, and the Caramel had the perfect balance of sweetness to it! 🤤 One of the best Caramel Puddings, I have had recently!

On the whole, it was truly an amazing experience trying such amazing Food! The Service was top notch too! I am surely going to come back to try out the other Desserts too! Thank you for having us over! 😍

Nicky Badani / The FTB Tales

The Story behind the Brand:
Kaka Kaki – located in Santacruz West, Mumbai is a quaint bohri cafe run by a cute bohri couple ( Mr. & Mrs. Darukhanawala ) who are fondly called KaKa KaKi by all. Hence the name :) Despite both being specially-abled, it was such an inspiration to watch them successfully manage this cafe along with their business partner Mr. Sandeep. The owners, their stories, their food, their authenticity and the overall vibe was truly uplifting. It all began when Mr. Darukhanawala could not resist his love for cooking, & Mrs. Darukhanawala stood by his side supporting her better half in making their dreams of opening a authentic bohri cafe come true. So many years together, they have constantly tried to familiarise audiences with their bohri cuisine. This is what i call a true love story with a happy ending!

Located at a walkable distance from Santacruz station, is The Kaka Kaki serving authentic Bohri cuisine since over a year. What I love most about this place is that it has a very homely vibe to it. It may be because of the fact that they've taken their family recipes and made dishes that all of us can relish. There's not a lot of seating space but they've managed to utilize whatever space they have, well. One of the walls has family photos which I think is really cute and the other wall has paintings hung up on them. What we had:

Starters:
1) Mutton Kheema Samosa - Spring onion, coriander, pudina, and mutton kheema in a samosa patty - Rs. 70 for 2
2) Chicken Mystic Cheese Kebab - chicken mince with a slice of cheese, rolled and then fried in an egg batter - Rs 160 for 2
3) Mutton Nagarsi Shaami Kebab - Has mutton mince, chana dal, coriander and mint. Also has a boiled egg in between - Rs. 120 for 2
4) Chicken Cream Tikka - boneless chicken marinated in cream and kaju badam paste. Fried in egg batter - Rs. 120 for 2

Soup:
Bohri Chicken Badam Corn Soup - a soup made with chicken stock, kaju badam paste and corn. Very tasty and something that I'd never had before - Rs. 90

Mains:
Bohri Chicken Dum Biryani - Not your typical chicken biryani with lots of masala and oil. Has a very different taste and a good one at that - Rs. 230

Dessert:
1) Malida - Made using rawa, wheat and jaggery. Made in pure ghee. Topped with lotsa dry fruits - Rs. 120/portion
2) Caramel Custard Pudding - an egg and milk based caramel custard. Very light, fluffy and oh so good! - Rs. 120/portion

Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Divya Kamra

Tucked away in Hasanabad lane, Santacruz is this small place serving Bohri food.

While most of the people, including me, thought that is mainly non vegetarian food, let me correct you.
Bohri food has some amazing vegetarian fare to offer, and Kaka Kaki does the same.

I tried few of their offerings, and here is my take on them-

1. Arhar ke samosa- perfect start to the meal. Not oily at all, mildly spiced, they went so well with the spicy green chutney. And they don’t feel heavy at all!

2. Awesome 3 way pattice- while they tasted very good, they were a tad bit oily. Would have loved a little more seasoning. But if you eat it with the green chutney, they taste pretty good

3. Baked white sauce veg- smooth white sauce with ample of veggies. Surprisingly it had paneer has well. What it lacked was less of pasta ( hardly 4-5 pieces of penne) and a little too salty for my liking .

4. Malida- no meal is complete without dessert. In this case was the crunchy, ghee laden and with a generous helping of dry fruits is the offering called Malida. So delightful, and yes please have it warm for the best taste.

In all, if you are looking for Bohri food in Santacruz area, but prefer veg, this place offers happy tummy options :)

On your way to Santacruz Market, tucked halfway down 2nd Hasnabad lane you will find this simple Cafe called Ambriosa's kaka kaki. It's a no fuss Cafe, clean, slick and span with indoor and outdoor seating.
The serve starters, soup, biryani, desserts to diners. But best of all, is they offer parcels and home Delivery too.

We savored

1. Khurdi Bohri soup - It was a beautifully flavored badam soup with corn. Enjoyed it immensely as the weather was such.

2. Mystic chicken/cheese Kebabs - A deep fried egg battered chicken and cheese kebab. The oozy cheese and tender chicken pieces made it a stunning starter.

3. Nargisi Shammi Kebab - Loved the flavors of this kebab. Well seasoned and was a real big size. Value for money.

4. Mutton kheema Samosa - Crispy samosas, really good potion of filling. The green chilli taste came through beautifully.

5. Bohri Dum Chicken biryani- What makes Bohri Biryani so special and different ? It is comparatively less spicy than Hyderabadi biryani or Sindhi biryani. The Bohri community slow cook the biryani on dumm. Also the use of red chillies and grounded garam masala is less. Instead they use green chilies for heat and whole garam masalas for aroma. This Delicious Chicken biryani was served with a kachumbar salad. Sweetannu recommends strongly.

6. Kaki's Malida - A dry wheat halwa cooked with raw, jaggery and loads of ghee. Garnished with almond slivers and gonth. The perfect way to end a fabulous meal.

Insiyah Darukhanawala

A long awaited Eid gathering with my closely knitted fam jam couldn't get any better then being at Ambrosia 's Kaka Kaki Cafe. This place serves the most delicious, homely flavours of authentic Bohri cuisine tucked in one of the bylanes of Santacruz West. We opted for a thal set up and thoroughly enjoyed our lunching experience. A cool refreshing jaggery drink- "Gol Paani" was served as a welcome drink. In bohri tradition, every meal begins with a sweet dish , to lure our sweet tooth came the Fruit Fanda - mix fresh fruit with thick cream rasmalai and rassogulla , must say was quite a rich combination and took my taste buds a notch higher. Now was the time for savoury - Dabba Gosht - A delicious bohri delicacy of boneless mutton pieces with fusion of flavours and Grilled Chicken - Tender succulent pieces of chicken marinated in Indian herbs, grilled and topped with lip-smacking cheesy pepper dip. They say an Eid feast is incomplete without the scrumptious and aromatic Biryani.Had the most amazing Chicken Tikka Biryani (Aromatic rice cooked with boneless filets, pounded and marinated with cream and spices for 5-6 hours and deep fried with a coating of egg) served with hot and piping corn soup. Huzefabhai Darukhanawala (Owner of Kaka Kaki Cafe) was kind enough to offer us Kaki's Malida as complimentary ( a sweet made with whole wheat flour, jaggery, pure ghee and dry fruits). A whole meal in itself, healthy, nutritious and filling. All of us ate our hearts out and were literally in Food coma. The hospitality is excellent and service is quick. A place worth repeat visits. I can't wait to plan my next get together here - My food comfort space.Thanks Kaka Kaki for a great and a memorable experience!

Ever tried Bohri Cuisine?

We are sure you are under the impression that is all about non-veg food.
This place completely took us by surprise since we are vegetarians. It’s simply a myth that Bohri food cannot be cooked in veg.
We visited this place for dinner and completely loved our dining experience.
A small place with 3-4 tables, basic interiors and seating. However, in the hospitality business what works best is service and that was completely on point.

For this place what works best is delivery and also party orders. So next time if there is a party at home you know the place to contact and get your food sorted

We tried -

Kakis Cooler - An indeed refreshing cooler. A great mixture of jaggery + mint + lime .

Awesome 3 - Crispy golden brown pattice with a perfect blend of potato, cheese and paneer. These 3 make the best combinations ever

Veg Biryani - Well as compared to the other dishes/ desserts this was just ok. We have tasted better ones before. However the taste was on point, but nothing extra ordinary about it.

Caramel Custard - This Caramel Custard is an exotic treat.Every bite into this fabulous dessert is simply tantalising your tastebuds with exquisite textures and taste.

Royal Pudding - Extremely rich and delicious. So fresh, full of good quality ingredients, dry fruits this dish won our hearts.

Chief Foodie Officer - Overall, we really had a great dining experience, however we felt it was more towards take aways and party orders.

The Mumbai Cult

Good food is usually found in the most unexpected places and Ambrosia by Kaka Kaki is one such place. With food made straight from the heart and so full of flavour it is guaranteed to keep you coming back for more! All the meat that was prepared was juicy and cooked to perfection. The meal started with chicken and almond soup with corn which was the best was to kick start the meal. A standout was the Mystic Kabab Chicken Cheese which was chicken kebab wrapped in cheeses and dipped in egg and cooked. For mains we had the chicken tikka biryani which again was so well made and flavourful. We ended our meal with Malida which again was just so well balanced with sweetness and so rich!

Recently I heard about the new bohri pattern and was quite curious to know about it. And so I finally found this place where they serve Bohri pattern

What is bohri pattern?
Basically Its a big plate called as Thaal wherein 8 people eat together in a specific portion in front of them. This increases love and affection among the members.

So when we reached the place we were first served with the Kaki's Cooler (Gol Pani). Its basically jaggery soaked in water for whole night and then served when diluted with lemon and sabza. It was quite good and refreshing.

Then the thaal was served which consisted of a desert and two types of salads.

The first desert they served was Caramel custard. I loved the way they garnished and presented it. The taste was sweet with bit bitter taste as many people don't like too much of sweetness.

Then the starters were served. The starter consisted of Chicken Creamy Tikka. The taste was too good and the meat was well cooked.

Again we were served a desert that was gajar ka halwa. I always appreciate gajar ka halwa and this was among the best I had.

Then we were served with Dabba Gosh. Basically it is Gosh served with ghee, tomatoes, eggs, pasta and too much gravy. It was a new variety for me and I loved it.

Then the main course was served. It consisted of Chicken Masoor Pulao and Kadi. The combination was too good and the taste was awesome.

Overall the experience here was totally new for me and I won't regret going here again.

I tried a variety of delicious Bohri items here. Kaka Kaki is a small outlet in Santacruz west near the Santacruz Station.Must say almost every item was amazing in taste. The items I tried were :-

⚜️Kaki's Cooler (Gol Paani)
⚜️Caramel Custard
⚜️Corn Paneer Salad
⚜️Tam Tam Batata
⚜️Chicken Creamy Tikka
⚜️Gajar ka Halwa
⚜️Dabba Gosht
⚜️Chicken Masoor Pulav & Kadi

The Kaki's Cooler was quite refreshing.The Caramel Custard was a nicely garnished with almonds and pistachus. The taste was quite good.
The corn Paneer Salad and the Tam Tam batata was nicely prepared. The Tam Tam Batata was loaded with a sauce which added to the flavour.

The Chicken Creamy Tikka was the best dish I had here! It was soft,juicy and yummy. It had the right amount of flavours and it was drooling good.
The quantity and the taste was really amazing.

The Dabba Gosht had a layer of egg floating on it. It had the perfect taste which anyone would like. We can eat it directly or we can have it with Rotis.
The Chicken Masoor Pulav had good amount of chicken and potato pieces. Accompanied with Kadi ( Kanda Bhaji with gravy ) the pair went well. The Rice itself was quite flavourful. We couldn't stop ourselves from eating it more it was that good 👌

Finally ended our scrumptious Meal with the tasty Gajar ka Halwa.

Final verdict :- I would say do visit this to satiate your Bohri Cuisine cravings. The Preparation is too good 👌

All in all a wonderful experience.... Thank you for being there kaka kaki!!

Honestly, when people rave about #authentic #BohriCuisine, I never really understood why! I mean I tried some of the options available in the city and though they were decent, the food didn't really blow my mind!

But last night, I was priviliged enough to try the food from @thekakakaki and I truly understood the beauty of this cuisine!

Must have - White Sauce Cutlet, Chicken Dum Biryani, Caramel Custard.

Trust me, if you are a non vegetarian and you want to experience the brilliance of Bohri food, this is the place to be!

Our friend arranged this awesome Thaal at this cute cafe in a quiet lane close to Santacruz station. This Thaal was shared by 8 of us.
All of us ate our heart out on this spread which started with the customary pinch of salt to stimulate the taste buds. The first round was chana salad with a nice masala gravy which was followed by corn salad. Next was a dessert - Fruit Salad with malai-Wow! This was followed by Raan with Khara which was a cracking combo. Khara is a a traditional flaky pastry and lent a special flavour to the dish. Then came the Chicken clear soup and what followed was the standout dish of the evening - the Dabba Gosht. This is a melt in the mouth baked mutton dish with white creamy sauce and macaroni. Next came was Gajar Halwa which was outstanding. And it didn't end there. The surprise followed- Chicken Biryani which was a medium spicy and aromatic affair. This mix of sweet and savoury dishes was truly delightful. A fitting to this traditional Bohri feast was a sweet Paan.
This cafe which opens at 4 in the evening offers some lovely snacks like mutton samosas, kebabs, croquettes, tikkas and desserts too.
They offer you a Thaal or other traditional dishes like Haleem, Biryani, Patra Gosht and many other by pre-ordering.
I can assure you that it'll be a wonderful gourmet journey!

Had an awesome bori thaal experience at kaka kaki last night. Food was superb and the place itself spotlessly clean and pleasantly done up. The quality of meats, beautiful flavours, and variety of dishes made for an authentic gastronomic feast. The meal began with a mildly spiced Chana and a corn salad. A cool fruit salad followed to act as a sorbet before the next course of tender lamb falling off its bone, served with a light, crusty, layered Khaaja. The most delicious mutton soup followed with a piece of succulent corn on the cob dipped in it on a stick. The biryani that followed was simply superb. Mildly spiced, moist and oh-so flavoursome. But the piece-de-resistance had to be the Dubba gosh. It was probably the best I’ve ever had. Gob smacking great. I highly recommend this eatery and take away for the finest in fine dining.

The Bohri thaal here was recommended by friends; and it was a wonderful experience. The items in the thaal was pre selected by us, and tweaked to meet our special needs. And it was spot on- every dish was a delight. A small heads up for amateur food connoisseurs heading here: don’t pig out on the initial courses served here, or you won’t last till the entire full course meal.

Brilliant as always. Had a smashing ordered in meal from here last weekend. Ordered for their:

-Mystic chicken cheese kebabs
-Chicken creamy tikka
-White sauce chicken patties
-Chicken tikka biryani

They decided to make this small meal more special by sending over a complimentary order of their mutton shammis (perhaps they sensed gluttony here). One- thank you to the good folk! Two- your mutton shammis were very unique- unlike any I've had before. Delicious as well!

Will definitely order again
And again

Ordered a kilo of chicken tikka biryani for a home get together along with Paneer Biryani ( 2 portions). The Tikka Biryani was excellent with good chunks of boneless chicken and an excellent flavour. The surprise was the Paneer Biryani, which was sumptuous....Mr. Sandeep and Mr.Husef are doing a great job. Had picked up some starters as well, the white sauce chicken Patrice, which too was a delite. The Kilo of Biryani was told to us, would be good for 8, well we are good eaters, I think it was good for 10. Great food and hope they keep up the consistency....

A great place to tuck into Bohri delicacies . Must try ! The starters are absolutely delicious, both non veg and veg. They take party orders so that’s clearly helpful.

Recently I received a food package from Kaka kaki to try their Bohri specilaity. Firstly, how unique is there name, I was pretty fasinated by that.

Being vegetarians, the team at Kaki kaki sent us a Vegetarian meal food enough for atleast 6 people. They had an interesting menu prepared.

1. Gol paani - Jaggery water to start our meal on a sweet note.

2. The royal pudding - Bread pudding which we couldn't help our selves but eat right before our meal.

3. Cottage cheese and white sauce Pattice

4. Paneer tikka biryani - Always our favourite

5. Khudaal Palida - An authentic Bohri Rice dish served with dal combined with drumsticks.

The food tasted great and we were thoroughly impressed by how well the delivery was managed, the instructions were clear and the bags the food was delivered in were paper bags to be environment friendly.

Amazing food! Never tasting anything like it. Chicken that melts in your mouth and always leaving you wanting more. Love it!! Can never say no to Kaka Kaki. Big fan! Especially, the chicken. Tried the veg cutlets too - great stuff!

Mumbai is crowding with places serving different international cuisines, but there’s one cuisine which still needs alot of attention and that’s the authentic Bohri cuisine. A must try cuisine, which is quite unique and follows a pattern of meals, which are truly delicious. I had the pleasure to get my hands on this one. Kaka Kaki not only serves a wide range of authentic bohri dishes but they also guide you through the feast. Starting off with a pinch of salt, to cleanse your palate and then having the Royal pudding, which is their authentic bread halwa. Perfect sweetness, creamy, soft, milky and ofcourse tasty. Then we can start off with the meal including starters and mains.

* Gol Paani 5/5 Beat the heat with this refreshing drink which has everything you need to keep yourself cool and fresh.

* Chicken White Sauce Pattice 4/5 This patty was quite soft and tasted amazing.

* Chicken Cream Tikka 5/5 This ones my favourite. Yummy and creamy.

* Chicken Tikka Biryani 5/5 The biryani was properly spiced, with adequate chicken chunks, equal masala and rice ratio which made it delicious.

* Kuddaal Palida 5/5 This one was a unique dish I came across. Kudaal is a combination of rice and chana dal cooked together and Palida is a vegetable gravy with drumsticks. Both of them have to be combined and eaten. Becomes more tastier if you add a bit of pickle to it. A must try.

A great experience and a must try cuisine if you looking out for a change in taste.

We started with a pinch of salt and followed it up with the mithaas, "The Royal Pudding". The Royal Pudding was soft bread dumplings in rich and creamy milk that was topped with nuts. It was ROYAL indeed.

Next came the Kharaas, we had Ausome 3 Pattice and White Sauce Pattice. Ausome 3 Pattice was a cottage cheese filled pattice with herbs & mashed potatoes and White Sauce Pattice was oozing with creamy white sauce and healthy veggies. The size of these pattice was bigger than the average pattice and were heavy to eat. They were tasty and the best part was these were not dripping oil. And the mint chutney that came along was tangy! While having the appetisers we sipped on Gol Paani , a jaggery based chatpata cooler that is ideal for the hot summers.
I tasted a bit of Paneer Biryani and I must say the masala used was not pungent & paneer was well marinated and very very tasty, the rice had this typical taste which must be typically Bohri in my opinion. There was Vegetable Raita to go with this. And to end the meal was Khudaal Palida, something I had never tasted before a layer of thick and dry yellow dal topped with steamed rice. This was to be eaten with a drumstick curry which was finger licking good. Also, the seasons special kairi ka achhar(pickled raw mango) was complementing the flavour of this Bohri Jaman.

Till date, I have ordered chicken white sauce patty, chicken tikka , dabba gosht, mutton samosa, mutton kheema cutlets, fruit custard. Food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. The chicken patty and mutton cutlets we're super soft and delicious!!! I was expecting the food here to follow in the old bohri tradition but was pleased to find the menus trending in a contemporary direction. The Samosas and tikkas were loaded with good amount of meat quantity ,and were positively unmatched for flavor.The food was fresh and properly prepared . Excellent service and every single time the food was delivered piping hot!! The chef has got all the flavours nailed in perfectly. Would highly recommend to try their mutton kheema samosas and white sauce chicken patty. Great effort by the Ambrosia team!

In today's world where you have end number of options for cafes, restaurants, pubs & delivery outlets, that one thing that you miss commonly among them is the home style cooked food.

You want to eat non-greasy, simple yet delicious, comfort & not very heavy on pocket kind of meal after a tiring day at work or home. What do you do? The simplest solution here I can give is dialling Kaka Kaki's number & order the not very hyped but yet some awesome Bohri food.

We were glad that we got an opportunity to order food from Kaka Kaki, a duo whose mission is to bring people together through food.

We ordered below mentioned food items & our review on same goes like this..

Gol Paani - A chilled beverage with Jaggery flavour. One of the tasty drinks to have in summers.

Chicken Cream Tikka - Creamy & melt-in-the-mouth Chicken skewers are soft & delicious. The taste is mild & is best eaten when they are hot.

Chicken White Sauce Pattice - We have tried many varieties of Chicken pattices but this one was by far the best of all. A mixture of shredded Chicken, white sauce & veggies is the best combination that you can eat. We loved it till the last bite. And yes, it's too creamy to handle. Highly recommended dish.

Chicken Tikka Biriyani - Tikka Biryani is the best & the most loved version of Biryani. This one was perfectly cooked. Not very greasy & the spices were perfectly balanced.

Khudaal Palida - One of the most loved & a classic Bohri dish, Khudaal Palida which is typically eaten by mixing with each other is a soul-satisfying dish. Highly recommended.

The Royal Pudding - This dessert is definitely made with lots of love. Rich in flavour with a thick layer of ghee & dry fruits on the top, this pudding is truly royal. Must order if you are not on a diet :D

Delivery was much before the time. The packaging of the food was absolutely tight & classy. The handwritten note sent along with the parcel definitely makes you feel special & loved.

Happy Meal! :)

The name KakaKaki in itself gives a very warm, intimate and friendly feeling and KakaKaki managed to satisfy us with a hearty meal with pleasures of simple, delicious, comfort food.

We recently ordered a vegetarian meal from Kaka Kaki and we were treated with-

1. Gol Paani - A flavored Jaggery Cooler mixed with lots of sabza and topped with mint leaves, this is a must have to beat the summer heat. MUST HAVE!!

2.The Royal Pudding- Bread pudding with lots of nuts. Rich and Heavy.

3. Ausome 3 Pattice- A paneer and potato pattice perfectly flavoured.

4. White Sauce Pattice- This dish took us by surprise. The white sauce patties were yummilicious. MUST HAVE!!

5. Paneer Tikka Biriyani - Perfectly flavoured and balanced biryani with big chunks of paneer tikka. heavenly!

6. Khudaal Palida- Bohi twist to simple Dal Rice. The curry consists of dal mixed with spices and drumsticks and served with dal-rice. Tasty & Taditional.. MUST HAVE!!

With this amazing experience we fell in love with bohri food. A must have experience for everyone who loves food.

Happie Foodie

Ambrosia's Kaka Kaki is a new delivery joint that has opened up in Santacruz that specializes in Bohri Food - their tagline says - A bohri take on everything.
Bohri food & recipes are lesser known gems of the food world, so While I have tried Bohri food before , this was the first I tried from an authentic bohri source -
& in short I was very impressed with the subtle but so flavorful delicious food.

Starting with the Main event - the Food
Traditionally the process of dining bohri goes like this
1. A taste of salt to cleanse your palate
2. Mithaas (Sweet - Dessert)
3. Kharas (Savory - Starters)
4. Jaman (Mains)

✳️ MOCKTAILS
-----------------------------
⭐️Gol Paani : Recommended
This was jaggery based and was on the sweeter side , but also had a tamarind tang to it.
It has sabza seeds(tikmirya) , crushed jeera , & mint leaves.
Was one of its kind & a pleasantly surprisingly refreshing cooler.

✳️ STARTERS
-----------------------------
⭐️Chicken cream Tikka : Recommended
Chicken malai tikka botis on a skewer, deep fried with an egg & flour batter coating
Classic , well cooked, not spicy, but tasty

⭐️Chicken white sauce Pattice: STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
This was a pleasant surprise - Chicken shreds, finely sized veggies, packed with white sauce based potato-ey mix, coated with an egg based batter and fried.
V Subtle spice , but you will still love it for the flavor and the uniqueness.

✳️ MAINS
-----------------------------
⭐️Kuddaal- Recommended
This was actually vegetarian - Dal grains & veggies with basmati rice.
This dish was simple but has such a smoky flavor to it .
Completely unexpected and makes you want more with each bite.

⭐️Palida - V Good
This was again vegetarian - drumstick flavored mix of dals
Again had a smoky flavor to it as well.

Kudaal & Palida are ideally supposed to be paired together when eating.

⭐️Chicken Tikka Biryani- Alright
Very well cooked biryani rice which a chicken based masala.
It was more veggies, but lacking in chicken.
Tasted ok , but not my palate flavor for biryani.

✳️ DESSERTS
-----------------------------
⭐️ Royal pudding - Alright
Bohri bread pudding.
I don’t like very sweet desi desserts , but this could do with a bit more sweetness to it.
It was Garnished with kesar & dry fruits.

✳️ MY TOP FAVORITES :
==================
1. Chicken White Sauce Pattice
2. Kudaal
3. Chicken Cream Tikka

✳️ PACKAGING
-----------------------------
Done with Finesse - Environment friendly bag with neatly packed boxes , no leaks.
Each box labelled with their branded logo and contact Details
Love the way they packed the beverage with an additional cling film.

✳️ SUMMARY
-----------------------------
If you have tried Bohri food - MUST try this.
If you haven't tried Bohri food - then you absolutely MUST try it

This was one of the instances where I was very pleased with everything I ate.
Pleasantly surprised & Perfectly satisfied

I recently got the opportunity to taste a full Non-Veg meal from Kaka Kaki. I genuinely believe that Bohri food is beyond yummy, and Kaka Kaki didn't disappoint! Here's a list of what all I tried: Gol Paani - This is something I hadn't had before, but was a super tasty jaggery flavoured summer drink, a nice mix of sweet and tangy. An absolute must try! As is tradition, the sweet dish is had first, and for this we had the Royal Pudding. While it's recommended to have it warm, it frankly tasted great both warm and cold. Somewhat of a royal rasgulla and rasmalai mix, it was a good way to start the meal! Next came the chicken cream tikka, which while nice and soft, was a little bland - so would not recommend this for people who love spicy food. I quite liked it, but my favourite was yet to come - the chicken white sauce pattice. THIS WAS HEAVEN! If nothing else, would recommend everyone to try out this beauty. Not spicy and so so so full of flavour! This was followed by chicken tikka biryani which was obviously good. But the surprise was Khudaal Palida, which since it was vegetarian I didn't have too many expectations from, but really, it turned out to be a super flavourful dish that I thoroughly enjoyed. I'd definitely recommend ordering from Kaka Kaki, for an absolutely sumptuous Bohri meal!`

We tried Kaka Kaki’s Chicken Cream Tikka, Chicken White sauce pattice, Chicken Tikka Biryani, and Royal pudding. The tikka and pattice made candles feel insecure because oh wow. These babies melted in my mouth beautifully. The biryani is not too heavy on chicken or the gravy. A perfect balance. It’s been a while since I had biryani that good and that too in Mumbai. The Royal Pudding was royal indeed. A rich flavour and soft texture made us devour it. Can’t be more thankful that this place is 5 mins from my office. Going to keep ordering! Give it a try!

Firstly let me tell you if you haven't had Chicken White Sauce Pattice form here, you haven't really had the real Chicken White Sauce Pattice at all .. So what is the real stuff you'd ask ... chicken and veggies mixed with just the right spice to give you a creamy texture that just melts in your mouth and makes your heart crave for more :) hungry already ? lol that is when you try the Chicken Cream Tikka - Chicken skewers in a rich marinade, well cooked to assure its mouthwatering juicy taste is unmatched.

I then tried the Chicken Tikka Biriyani, i was glad to see small pieces of aalu in it .. I always like aalu in my biriyani :) the rice and meat were well cooked (so was the aalu).. Finger-licking deliciously spicy and aromatic ..one of the best biryani versions I've tasted!

I also had Khudaal Palida .. yeah i am a hog .. i can eat lots .. huh ? what is Khudaal Palida ? .. it's a very quintessential Bohri dish to be mixed with each other and eaten. The curry base is made with drumsticks and dal and there is basmati rice cooked to perfection with veggies .. try it with pickle and it is just wonderful .. #GharKaSwaad

Finally for meetha - The Royal Pudding and Gol Paani made my day , the pudding was yummy - could actually feel the malai and kesar settling in my mouth & gol pani was surprisingly very refreshing ..

I highly recommend Kaka kaki if you are looking for a satisfying meal.

P.S
:
The home delivery containers are Microwave friendly and the bags are environment-friendly :)

To start with, first time i felt so homely when i had the food, which didnt taste like it was from somewhere else!

With a flavorful meal it was

Highly recommended . Thought ordered the Veg Meal

What i got , i was so surprised

First thing suggest to have it the Mithaas which included the Royal Pudding, it was a soft textured cake, covered in slurry of milk and malai and i actually could taste the Kesar, it was not that sweet too! Whoa what a perfect sweet dish! Otherwise its always very sweet

Next up, was the Kharaas, oh what mindblowing satisfying patties, oh my my, There came two , the first one was the White sauce Pattice , crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, packed with proper savoury
Next one was the Aloo Paneer pattice, which was exactly the same, couldn't be more satiated

Then were the mains, Paalida and Khuddal - Which is a beautiful drumsticks lentil, with lipsmacking flavor , accompanied with Turmeric Green Onion Rice. It is to be mixed and eaten, oh my my, i never have leftovers , but this kept me from eating it more and more. Very tasty and Delicious

Then the show stopper- Paneer Tikka Biryani - Which never let's you down, now there are many who say, veg biryani is not biryani but pulao, You ought to taste Biryani by KAKA KAKI then. Perfectly mixed, not bland, could almost taste the spices, paneer nicely marinated , accompanied by the Raita which was delicious too! The biryani tasted like biryani and not pulao! Kuddos

The last one was Gol Paani Cooler - I've never tasted a cooler , with Jaggery. I dont like sugary drinks, but this was different and good! And with Chia seeds and jeera , and tulsi. When i drank it , i couldn't just stop myself! It kept me from finishing it

So i would rate the whole meal a whopping 4/5 . So cool with the Bagagging and Cutlery! I did use it!

Highly Recommended!

We ordered this on an impulse for our 5 pm office wali bhukh. And it was a lovely surprise. We ordered chicken biryani, chicken white sauce Pattice and chicken tikka and a royal pudding.
Chicken biryani- bits of chicken were heaven in our mouth. The raita with it was a perfect combination.
Chicken white sauce pattice- it was a great fusion food which I had never tasted before. Soft and creamy.
Chicken tikka- always the favourite.
The royal pudding- absolutely amazing.
The green chutney was a perfect accompaniment.
Definitely try it out.

Ordered food from this wonderful place! I was lucky that I chose this place for my treat to friends. The food was delicious and sufficient for the four of us. We ordered 3 items and Chicken Biryani was my favourite among them. Waiting for next treat in office to have some more! Highly recommended!

Shreya Ramakrishnan

We decided to order food from Kaka Kaki upon the recommendation of a very good Bohri friend of mine. We ordered Chicken Tikka Biryani, Chicken Cream Tikka and Chicken White Sauce Pattice to satisfy our chicken cravings. The biryani was beautifully flavoured, yet very simple and homely. The tikka was a Bohri style Chicken Tikka something which I have never had before and was very refreshing. The Pattice was my favorite, creamy and yummy, another new item to my pallette. Overall I don't regret listening to my friend's recommendation at all. :)

May 10, 2018

Would definitely order again!

Bohri cuisine influenced by Indian cuisine has great dishes and follows a Great pattern when comes to dining. Tradition of eating and sharing together in a big thaal. Kaka Kaki with same enthusiasm and great curation has started up with this venture of spreading awareness of Bohri cuisine. Well.packed and great personalised message with an way how to relish the taste. Mithaas-Kharaas-Jaman. Homely food and nothing fancy but unique in its own way.

So we followed the Pattern;

1. Gol Paani: Flavored Jaggery Cooler best for summer. Similar to our homemade spicy Paani Of pani-puri but with Jaggery in it. MUST TRY.

2.Royal Pudding: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. A rich milk and bread pudding with dryfruits superlatively grated over it. Shahi Tukda's Bohri version.

3.Ausome 3 Pattice: Soft cottage cheese & potato mash flavored with herbs. The patty is thick and big goes best with the mint chutney. It's soft and quite delicious. MUST TRY. Ausome Che aa.

4. White Sauce Pattice : HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. White sauce, veggie and all things nice, rolled up and fried. Best and superb amongst all the starters. Prem thayy gyu! Superbly soft and creamy texture. Slight spicy but also sweet and tangy. Bohri version of Pattice is quite awesome

5. Paneer Tikka Biriyani : Tangy flavour with spicy Paneer tikka, Rice is like why I'm here. Veg biryani that to so awesome only KakaKaki can do it. Best eaten when shared and fingers licked.

6. Khudall Palida: Curry base made with dal and drumsticks best eaten when mixed with each other like rice or chapati. Also there's Achar which is best compliment with this curry. A very quintessential bohri dish. MUST TRY

Best best best. Nothing beats this homely food and great preparation. Feeling like transformed into an Bohra after this delicious meal.Loved it.

Abhigyaan Anand

Came here with a couple of friends to try somr authentic bohri food and was not disappointed.

Whats great about the place is the warmth and comfort you get from the ppl who started this place, an elderly couple who just wanted ppl to experience authentic bohri food.

We ordered the chicken tikka cream which was heavenly and the khudad palida which is a must try .

Will be back soon enough I guess.

May 10, 2018

So it was a wonderful evening I had ordered from this new restaurant "Kaka Kaki ". I ordered. Chicken cream tikka, chicken white sauce Pattice, the Royal pudding,chicken tikka biryani and khudaal palida.

To start with, chicken cream tikka was amazing and so was the pattice.
Chicken biryani is uniquely different taste and had perfection of bohri taste to it.

Khudaal palida, was simply awesome. This is the best and a must try dish.

Royal pudding is great. It is for all the people who have sweet tooth and crave for sweet.

The packaging was good and is microwave safe.

If you want to try real and authentic Bohri cuisine this is the place to be.

I just had lunch delivered from Kaka Kaki; I absolutely had to leave a review!

What I had: Kudhaal Palida, Chicken cream tikka and Chicken white sauce patties.

Firstly, their packaging was top quality and did not use any of the usual cheap plastic that most restaurants use. All meat items were packed in aluminum foil containers.

Their Kudhaal Palida was excellent, with tender drumsticks and just the right amount of kokum.

Also had their chicken cream tikka. The portions were generous and they tasted divine. The meat was perfectly cooked and creamy.

I will be ordering again!

'Khudal Palida' was awesome! We didn't leave a single grain on the plate. The quantity was good and it was delivered fast, too. A must have with friends and family!

Kaka Kaki is a place of amazing food taste, quality, and portion. The people who run it are an old couple who love making you eat. I was lucky to speak to Mr.Darukhanawala, the owner and he was such a warm person.

We ordered a Chicken Cream Tikka, Chicken Biriyani, and a Royal Pudding. The chicken cream tikka was a succulent and creamy perfectly. The biriyani was lip-smacking yet homely.
The pudding was rich and soft.

Great place, value for money and amazing portion size.

For me Bohri food is a new. I know that it has influence from Gujarat as well as from the Middle East but that was all I knew. Since I am vegetarian I was shocked to know they have some special vegetarian dishes. So I decided to try it out from Ambrosia’s Kaka Kaki. Such a lovely name as well. Feels like you are having food from your neighbour’s house. Since I was not sure as how the food would taste I tried calling for dishes I had heard about as i was a bit apprehensive. Little did I know that I would soon become a fan of the cuisine? What I tried from here was so delicious. The Veg Awesome 3 Pattice: It comes coated in sev and are fried. Yet they are soft and supple and the stuffing inside was superb. It had mashed potato, some peas, coriander and spices. It was not very spicy but the taste was too good. They had also provided green chutney with it. Crispy Samosas Called Arhar Ke Samosa: They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It had a potato filling. It was different but very flavourful. Next time we will order an extra plate. It was that good. Bohri Veg Dum Biryani : Oh wow. The smell was to die for and the taste will certainly take you to ehaven. This Biryani had chunks of something like Gujrati Alu Wadi inside it and that was so good too. Quantity wise it was value for money. Kaki’s Malida: just wow! It was sweet and had almonds in it. It has an awesome texture and it reminded me of lapsey. The whole dish was superb. If you ask me know I can tell you i loved the food, In fact I can easily say this is one of my favourite restaurant for 2019.

Geeta maa

Loved my bohri veg food .... Located at Santacruz West, @thekakakaki serves authentic #bohrifood. Prepared from heirloom recipes passed down from generations to generations, Kaka kaki’s food is not only homely but it captures the true essence of eating together, where flavours, traditions & culture come together. And I had the opportunity to visit this cute cafe recently, where I tried few of their delicacies - Arhaar Ke Samose, Veg Awesome Threesome Pattice, Veg Casserole and Kaki's Malida. Cooked to perfection, all the dishes were tasteful. If you haven't tried the Kaka Kaki yet, then give it a try.

I love bori cuisine and thanks to "the kaka kaki" now I don't have to step out because they deliver best bori dishes at your door step. So here is my recommendation for the kaka kaki (1) bori chicken cutlet: the cutlet was so good that you can totally get addict to the flavour, must try. 5/5 (2) kk's special kathi roll veg: well if you are kathi roll lover just like me than you should try this one, the only problem was the paneer, it was little hard but the flavour was really good. My overall experience was really good

We recently tried the food from kaka kaki and loved it a lot . Great taste with absolute killer experience . We ordered Chicken white sauce pattice ,Chicken biryani, Chicken kathi roll and they also sent a complimentary Malida. Extremely impressed with the packaging and quality of food . Their chicken Kathi roll is a must try and my family simply relished it !! Surely recommending to friends and family and looking forward to ordering more !!

I am a big fan of bohri thaal and bohri food and today I thought of treating myself with bohri lunch well I don’t know where to start as the entire meal was scrumptious and delicious and yummmmmy I did over eat the cutlets they were soft and so meaty that I just couldn’t stop I loved the mutton nargisi Shammi kabab it is a must if you love mutton. Smoked chicken keema Samosa is yum if u have missed having chicken samosa in a while you can give it a try 😉 But my heart is all for the chicken white sauce Patrice it’s just too die for. The meat just melts in your mouth and you just don’t know when to stop ✋ well well even for people who are diet conscious and want just healthy stuff then you can have the awesome threesom tikka that’s what my brother enjoyed and after a break since we had eaten so much we had the biryani. It was just the apt thing to beat the Monday blues 🦋

The most authentic Bohri food delivery outlet i have ever come across. The dishes on their menu are traditional and authentic ones coming right from their origins. The delivery was done quiet quickly than i expected. The food sent was quiet well packed and also quiet hot. Really appreciate their quick service. The food is perfectly authentic right from the presentation, quality and the textures of the masala and portions well enough to fill in two heavy eater. Love the portions and the quantity and its totally worth it. Authentic food with great textures and flavors at a pocket friendly price. Must try would be- 1- Veg Smoked Arhar Samosa- one of a kind variety samosa. The filling is of chana dal and papdi veggie . The covering is super soft yet gives you the right crunch in very bite. Its a mild samosa with a very comforting filling and not very heavy you can easily have 3-4 at one time. 2- Bohri Almond Chicken Soup- Oh my what a soup !! I just say the most comforting soup I have ever had its like a warm hug. Mildly spicy soup with rich almonds and made in chicken broth with generous amount of chicken piece and fresh corn. Light pepper hits the right spots to give you the right flavours. 3- Kaka Kaki's Kathi Chicken Roll- the roll is made with Malabar paratha with one cover of egg and super soft and juicy chicken cooked in tandoor. The filling is very juicy with cabbage and onions and mayo also with the tandoori sauce giving the right smoky flavor to the chicken and also mildly spicy and very delicious totally loved it with super soft paratha . 4- Chicken Dum Biryani- What an aroma !! Dam must the say the biryani was rich with lot of spices and masala gravy with the veggies and chicken. Generous amount of chicken was there in the biryani. Best had with their raita. Not very spicy but filled with flavors are strong with caramelized onions and other spices making it truly authentic. Over all 5/5 for the food, quality , quantity , textures , value for money and the service done on time. Totally loved it.

I love this restaurants food. You actually get what you pay for. I promise after trying this, you will understand the quality is superior. Everytime I order this food it is consistently delicious as well as fresh. The packing is tamper proof and i feel safe ordering from here. Try their biryani, Samosas, white sauce pattice and cutlets. It's amazing!!!!

Preeti Reddy

We ordered through the Bohri non veg thali on swiggy. Portion sizes are good..biryani. samosas and maldi were top good. Would definitely recommend for trying Bohri food which we couldn't find elsewhere.

Saw this new place serving bohri food and decided to try it. We ordered the following: Chicken dum Biryani - a traditional bohri dum Biryani with lots of aloo and will cooked chicken. It's not very heavy on the masala hence light and good Chicken creamy tikka: you have to try this, it's on a stay stick and deep fried. This chicken is soft and the there's a nice thick creamy texture to it. A must try for sure! Caramel custard: just perfect! Not very sweet which is great. A good end to a wholesome meal.

On your way to Santacruz Market, tucked halfway down 2nd Hasnabad lane you will find this simple Cafe called Ambriosa's kaka kaki. It's a no fuss Cafe, clean, slick and span with indoor and outdoor seating. The serve starters, soup, biryani, desserts to diners. But best of all, is they offer parcels and home Delivery too. We savored 1. Khurdi Bohri soup - It was a beautifully flavored badam soup with corn. Enjoyed it immensely as the weather was such. 2. Mystic chicken/cheese Kebabs - A deep fried egg battered chicken and cheese kebab. The oozy cheese and tender chicken pieces made it a stunning starter. 3. Nargisi Shammi Kebab - Loved the flavors of this kebab. Well seasoned and was a real big size. Value for money. 4. Mutton kheema Samosa - Crispy samosas, really good potion of filling. The green chilli taste came through beautifully. 5. Bohri Dum Chicken biryani- What makes Bohri Biryani so special and different ? It is comparatively less spicy than Hyderabadi biryani or Sindhi biryani. The Bohri community slow cook the biryani on dumm. Also the use of red chillies and grounded garam masala is less. Instead they use green chilies for heat and whole garam masalas for aroma. This Delicious Chicken biryani was served with a kachumbar salad. Sweetannu recommends strongly. 6. Kaki's Malida - A dry wheat halwa cooked with raw, jaggery and loads of ghee. Garnished with almond slivers and gonth. The perfect way to end a fabulous meal.

I tried a variety of delicious Bohri items here. Kaka Kaki is a small outlet in Santacruz west near the Santacruz Station.Must say almost every item was amazing in taste. The items I tried were :- Kaki's Cooler (Gol Paani) Caramel Custard Corn Paneer Salad Tam Tam Batata Chicken Creamy Tikka Gajar ka Halwa Dabba Gosht Chicken Masoor Pulav & Kadi The Kaki's Cooler was quite refreshing.The Caramel Custard was a nicely garnished with almonds and pistachus. The taste was quite good. The corn Paneer Salad and the Tam Tam batata was nicely prepared. The Tam Tam Batata was loaded with a sauce which added to the flavour. The Chicken Creamy Tikka was the best dish I had here! It was soft,juicy and yummy. It had the right amount of flavours and it was drooling good. The quantity and the taste was really amazing. The Dabba Gosht had a layer of egg floating on it. It had the perfect taste which anyone would like. We can eat it directly or we can have it with Rotis. The Chicken Masoor Pulav had good amount of chicken and potato pieces. Accompanied with Kadi ( Kanda Bhaji with gravy ) the pair went well. The Rice itself was quite flavourful. We couldn't stop ourselves from eating it more it was that good 👌 Finally ended our scrumptious Meal with the tasty Gajar ka Halwa. Final verdict :- I would say do visit this to satiate your Bohri Cuisine cravings. The Preparation is too good 👌

We could feel the love and dedication that had gone in preparing the food with every morsel we took. Its been ages since we ate such lovely bohri food! Of course we missed the Thal and the courses in which the bohri food is actually served but this was an outstanding experience. Will share my experience with family and friends. Looking forward to more such gastronomical experiences with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much 🙏🏻

Was in Santacruz and went in for a quick bite. Our stomach was full but we were craving for more, that is the beauty of the Bohri food served at Kaka Kaki, very mild in flavours very well executed and delicious. The owner was there in the cafe and takes care of the guests. Sandeep Pai together with his partner Hozef Darukhanawala. Hozef is a foodie, chef by passion and a banker by profession and he is the brain behind the concept, menu and recipe. Sandeep has been in hospitality industry for a decade now, spent a good part of his life in Gulf countries and have managed tourism, resort management and now a café. Ambience is simple so is the food but delicious and irresistible 😋 Looking forward to be here soon again.
