Nawabs of Kebabs: The Original Mumbai Charcoal Grills
70 years of perfecting the smoke and spice. Our secret masalas hit the charcoal grill fresh, just like they did in 1946. From our signature Seekh to tender Malai Tikka, taste the legacy that made us Mumbai’s late-night obsession.

The heart of our kitchen is the fire. Watch our kebabs being grilled to perfection over live charcoal, giving them that authentic, smoky flavour that you cannot find anywhere else. This is where the magic happens.

About this collection
You might wonder if the taste has changed since 1946. It hasn’t. Whether you order at our Colaba stall or sit in our Bandra restaurant, we use the same hand-mixed masalas and grill over real charcoal. We don't believe in shortcuts, so you get the same smoke, the same char, and the same bite every time.
The 'Nawab' title isn't something we gave ourselves—it's what decades of midnight cravings and celebrity regulars have decided. When you order from our grill section, you aren't just getting street food. You are getting the exact same marinade that my father started with in 1946.
We keep it straightforward: mutton and chicken marinated for hours, skewered by hand, and cooked until they fall off the bone. If you are visiting our Bandra outlet on a weekend, look out for the Mutton Chaap; it's slow-cooked specifically for those who want something richer. For those who prefer a melt-in-the-mouth texture, our Chicken Malai Tikka remains the most popular choice for a reason.
We know Mumbai is a city of endless food choices, but we stand by our process. No gas grills, no pre-cooked shortcuts. Just fire, meat, and the same spice mix we’ve been using for 78 years. Whether you are craving a late-night bite at our Colaba location or a family dinner at our Fort restaurant, the quality remains the same. That is our promise.
