Stories of Love and Mumbai Nights
From celebrity midnight cravings to family traditions spanning three generations, these are the stories that make our grills burn brighter.
This is what legacy tastes like. When your father used to bring you here, and now you bring your own kids. We are honoured to be a part of your family's tradition for generations.
A loyal customer chose Bademiya for his farewell meal after resigning from his job in Colaba. Stories like this remind us that we are more than just a restaurant, we are a part of people's lives.
This couple travels all the way from Goregaon just for our Bheja Fry and Paneer Bhurji. They say they've tried to replicate the taste at home but nothing compares. That is our guarantee.
For 10 years, this family has been travelling from Navi Mumbai for our food. Their 10-year-old daughter eats outside food only from Bademiya. This is the trust and love that keeps us going.
Colonel Ratul from Dehradun loves the old Bombay vibes and the love with which we serve our food. Even after having dinner elsewhere, he comes back to us for a second round.
Actor Vicky Kaushal remembers his college days and the late-night drives to Colaba for our kebabs. He knows all about our iconic car bonnet dining experience.
When Zakir Khan and Farah Khan discuss the best kebabs in Mumbai, they agree that Bademiya is still the number one choice. We are humbled by their praise.
Actor Jason Shah shares his memories of visiting us since he was 17. He loves our Tandoori Chicken and Seekh Kebabs, and we were delighted to host him.

About From Our Customers (Aapka Pyaar)
People always ask us what our secret ingredient is. It is not just the masalas we hand-mix ourselves in our central kitchen; it is the fact that when you pull up to our stall in Colaba or Bandra at 2 AM, you are not just a customer, you are part of a tradition that has been feeding this city since 1946.
When my father started this small stall, he had one rule: imaan mat bechna (don’t compromise your integrity). That is why you will find the same Mutton Seekh or Chicken Bhuna today as you would have decades ago. Whether you are driving down for a late-night bite after a movie or catching up with old friends, our car dining setup is meant to be a laid-back, authentic Mumbai experience.
Why do people keep coming back?
- The Consistency: We don't change our chefs every month. We stick to our family recipes because our customers come for the specific Bademiya taste they grew up with.
- The Atmosphere: We are not about white tablecloths. We are about the chaos, the smoke, and the freedom of grabbing a roll and eating it right on your car bonnet.
- For Everyone: From students and bikers to families and celebrities, everyone stands on the same street. We treat everyone like family because, without you, there is no Bademiya.
Popular Picks
