Lin Laishram’s Akhoi Kitchen

Lin Laishram turned her need for home-cooked meals into a very meaningful endeavour. No matter what your dietary preferences are, you're sure to find something delicious on the broad menu at Akhoi. Every dish, from the crunchy Aloo Chop to the filling Chicken Soibum Curry, showcases the finest ingredients. 

Must-try: If you're in the mood for some solace, Akhoi is the place for you. The Aloo Kangmet and Pakora Thongba are the highlights of Manipuri family feasts. Akhoi also has thali alternatives for those who want diversity. For a full and fulfilling dinner, choose between a thali with fish, chicken, or pork. Mini Korean scallion pancakes called Pajeon bites and soft-steamed Chinese bao buns filled with sautéed mushrooms, sesame, and Manipuri black rice are just a few of the tantalising dishes offered at Akhoi. Other dishes like Chicken Kanghuo, Bhoot Jholokia Glazed Wings, and Maroi Kanghou Edamame are also available. Akhoi Kitchen's Chak Hao Kheer, a black rice pudding, is the ideal way to finish your dining experience, as no meal is complete without dessert. Now this is a celebrity-owned restaurant with a beautiful culinary story!

Arpita Khan’s Mercii

What's the vibe: Richboyz Hospitality and Richboyz Entertainment partners Arpita Khan Sharma, Ketul & Gaurav Parikh, and Anuj & Vicky Chugh own the establishment, which serves posh European cuisine to its patrons! Arpita wants this space to be a delight for those seeking traditional European cuisine. The careful selection of meals that remain faithful to their tastes is something she hopes customers will like. She was adamant that there be zero Asian or Indian influences on the cuisine! 

Must-try: The idea was to have a targeted strategy rather than a multi-cuisine one. So, customers are not only treated with authentic European flavours but are also given the chance to expand their palates beyond the usual fusion dishes! The Quadro Formaggio, a pizza with four cheeses, is her favourite! The chef's personal touch of a little additional blue cheese makes her appreciate it even more! 

Mona Singh’s Kona Kona

What's the vibe: Tucked away in the quaint lanes of Andheri West, Kona Kona is the kind of pub where you go out with a drink and a memory. Mona Singh envisioned it when she opened it as a place where comforting tastes and intriguing tales might come together. At Kona Kona, the talented chefs Jasleen Marwah and Neetu Solanki have curated a menu that features heartfelt regional classics, beloved home-cooked dishes, and street-side snacks. 

Must-try: An airy TP Nimki accompanied by a tangy chutney—that you shared with friends aeons ago—makes a comeback to your palate! The momos, floating in a spicy jhol, embody the essence of Darjeeling cuisine. The menu, without going overboard, gives each item its place, reminiscent of simpler times. The feeling of belongingness is the most striking feature of Kona Kona. In numerous ways, the dish evokes a long-forgotten yet delectable recollection of a past meal. 

Badshah’s Bad Boy Pizza

What's the vibe: The famous musician has now joined the food business with the introduction of his pizza brand, Badboy Pizza. This brand is equally as loud, flamboyant, and full of personality as his music. Ghost Kitchens India, a big brand in India's food industry, is behind this new pizza company, which is a full-fledged quick service restaurant (QSR) network. They use high-quality Italian flour to make these pizzas, which are based on foods from all around the world. The flour ferments for 48 hours to provide the ideal crust that is crispy on the exterior and light and airy on the inside.

Must-try: You may taste many different pizzas, such as Smoky BBQ (American), Korean Spice, Chimmichuri Messidona (Argentinian), and Aloo Dumdaar. Pushpa Pizza is the best part of the program. Based on the hit movie Pushpa, it's spicy, bold, and certainly worth taking a photo of. Badboy Pizza isn't simply making pizzas. The sides are also sublime! You can get cheese garlic bread with butter chicken, loaded fries, onion rings, and even spaghetti on the menu. There are many innovative choices at the dessert counter, such as Black Forest 2025, Banaras Paan Softie Sundae, and Panipuri Softie.
