Whether it's our Bhatti Ka Murgh getting that deep char in the live coal oven or the slow marination process for our Chicken Tikka, every step is done to lock in moisture and flavor. We do not use shortcuts because you can taste the difference when the meat is grilled fresh, right when you order it. ### Why Our Kitchen Stays Busy If you have walked past our spots in Mira Road or Mahim, you have smelled the charcoal smoke. That is not an accident. We use traditional bhatti and tandoor setups because gas grills just do not give the same smoky depth to the meat. **The Marination Secret** Everything you see in these photos, from the fiery Chicken Lollipops to our signature Chicken Tikka Biryani, starts hours before the heat touches it. We marinate our cuts in a blend of spices that breaks down the fibers, making the meat tender enough to fall off the bone. **Our Cooking Methods** * **Live Tandoor:** Our kebabs hit the skewers and go straight into the hot coals. This creates that crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy. * **Deg-Style Preparation:** For our biryanis, we use large pots to layer the marinated chicken with aromatic rice, ensuring the flavor infuses every grain. * **Halal Promise:** From our sourcing to our daily prep, everything is 100% halal. If it is not up to the mark, we do not serve it. We keep our prep area open because we have nothing to hide. You want to see the rotisserie shawarma being carved or the lollipops frying? Come by and take a look. We are here to cook for you, not just sell you a meal. ## About Raafae's Dastarkhwan I started Raafae's Dastarkhwan a decade ago with one simple goal: feed Mumbai families real, honest food without the fancy price tag. If you love a smoky kebab or a proper biryani that actually tastes like the ones at a big daawat, you and I will get along just fine.
